Harnessing the bandwidth potential and convenience of ExpressCard technology, the ECS-8582-4S expansion system enables a laptop computer with an ExpressCard slot to remotely manage and control PCI devices installed in an expansion chassis. ExpressCard technology leverages the features of PCI Express bus but in a small form factor for laptop computer usage. With ECS-8582-4S, laptop users can easily plug an ExpressCard host adapter into the laptop, and then cable it to an expansion chassis up to 7 meters away. The expansion chassis is capable of accommodating four half-size PCI cards with built-in power supply. The ECS-8582-4S extension system operates in 32-bit/33 MHz configuration with 132 MB/s full PCI™ bandwidth and comes with comprehensive hardware and software transparency. PCI cards installed in the expansion system behave and work as if these are directly installed into the host system, requiring no additional drivers or software installation.
