Product Information

The Technobox, Inc. P/N 4068 PCI-X-to-PMC-X Adapter permits operation of a standard 32- or 64-bit PCI-X card in a PMC-X slot. It provides a migration path for PCI-X board suppliers to port their products to a PMC-X form factor. As the PMCX equivalent board is developed, software development and migration can proceed with the original PCI-X board operating in a PMC-X environment.

Also, developers can evaluate product performance in a PMC-X environment before committing to a PMC-X conversion effort. This is a passive adapter (no PCI-to-PCI bridge chip) that requires no software setup. However, note that the PCI bus signaling level (3.3 or 5V) must match between the host PMC site and the PCI board. Also, for proper operation, 64-bit PCI cards must be used in a 64-bit capable PMC site.
