7 SLOT PCI EXPRESS TO (X8) PCI EXPRESS (4U ENCLOSURE) - GEN2

Seven Slot PCI Express Expansion Chassis

ExpressBox 7 X8G2 grants the ability to add seven hot-pluggable PCIe slots in a 4U rackmount chassis with a 550W power supply and quiet cooling.

ExpressBox 7 X8G2 is an expansion solution that provides 7 full-length PCI Express slots. This is a standalone chassis in an industry standard enclosure with its own power supply. The PCI Express slots are hot-swappable. The chassis allows the flexibility to expand the I/O capabilities of a server or workstation seamlessly capitalizing on the transparency of PCI Express architecture.

Cost-effective Solution for Expanding I/O capacity

Magma ExpressBox 7 X8G2 provides a cost-effective path to expand the available number of PCI Express slots while maintaining consistent server or workstation configuration. The product provides increased I/O capacity and scalability.
