Introduction

DIP2X-D2X20 is a PCI Express (PCIe) x4 to two PCIe x4 slots (x2 mode) docking system. It provides one upstream port supporting x4, and two downstream ports that support x2 operation. DIP2X-D2X20 is integrated by the following three key parts (DIP2X-PCIE4XG210, DB525-DIP2XD2X20, CB-00592).

  • DIP2X-PCIE4XG210
    • Two Internal PCIe x2 to PCIe x4 Gen 2 Switch Host Card.
  • DB525-DIP2XD2X20
    • Two PCI Express x4 slots (x2 mode) Add-On card docking bay.
  • Two CB-00592
    • USB 3.0 2-in-1 Female (10X2_19pin) Cable, L = 60cm.

Utilizing the standard PCI Express Switch, the 8-Lane/3-Port PCI Express Gen 2 (5 Gbps) Switch provides the most efficient fan-out solution for the following configuration:
