2 Agenda History and Industry Involvement Technology Information Conventional PCI PCI-X PCI Express Other Digi Products in PCI/PCI-X environments Q & A February 2003 Page 2
3 Q: What does PCI mean anyway? A: Peripheral Component Interconnect February 2003 Page 3
4 PCI-SIG PCI Special Interest Group Industry organization formed in 1992 Over 900 members Promotes PCI as an industry-wide standard Full ownership and management of the PCI specifications Maintains the PCI specifications and forward-compatibility of all PCI revisions February 2003 Page 4
5 PCI Technology Conventional PCI Initial PCI 1.0 proposal by Intel in 1991 Introduced by PCI-SIG as PCI 2.0 in 1993 Version 2.1 approved in 1995 Recent version 2.3 approved in March 2002 PCI-X Version 1.0 approved in September 1999 Version 2.0 approved in July 2002 PCI Express Formerly known as 3GIO Version 1.0 approved in July 2002 February 2003 Page 5
6 Conventional PCI Plug-and-Play Functionality Standard PCI is 32 bit and operates at 33 MHz Throughput 133 MB/sec PCI 2.1 introduced Universal PCI cards supporting both 3.3V and 5V 64 Bit slots and 66 MHz capability 32-Bit 66 MHz: 266 MB/sec 64-Bit 66 MHz: 532 MB/sec PCI 2.3 system no longer supports 5V-only adapters 3.3V and Universal PCI products are still fully supported! February 2003 Page 6

8 PCI-X 1.0 Based on existing PCI architecture 64-Bit slots with support for 3.3V and Universal PCI No support for 5V-only boards! Fully backwards-compatible Conventional 33/66 MHz PCI adapters can be used in PCI-X slots PCI-X adapters can be used in conventional PCI slots Provides two speed grades: 66 MHz and 133 MHz The slowest board dictates the maximum speed on a particular bus! Targeted at high-end data networking and storage network applications February 2003 Page 8
9 PCI-X 2.0 Based on PCI-X 1.0 Still fully backwards-compatible Introduces ECC (Error Correction Codes) mechanism to improve robustness and data integrity Provides two additional speed grades PCI-X 266: 266 MHz (2.13 GB/sec) PCI-X 533: 533 MHz (4.26 GB/sec) Bandwidth sufficient to support new breed of cutting-edge technologies 10 Gigabit Ethernet / Fiber Channel 4X / 12X InfiniBand February 2003 Page 9
10 PCI / PCI-X Performance vs Demand Gigabyte/sec PCI 32/33 PCI 64/33 PCI 64/66 PCI-X 66 PCI-X 100 PCI-X 133 PCI-X 266 PCI-X 533 U160 SCSCI U320 SCSCI Dual U320 SCSCI Gb Fiber Ch Gb Ethernet 2 Gb Fiber Ch 10 Gb Fiber Ch 10 Gb Ethernet 1x InfiniBand 4x InfiniBand 0.00 Source: PCI-SIG February 2003 Page 10
11 PCI-X Speed Limitations PCI-X supports point-to-point and multi-drop loads Highest speed grades are supported exclusively with point-to-point loads PCI-X 133 PCI-X 266 PCI-X 533 Two PCI-X 133 loads operate at 100 MHz Four loads operate at a maximum of 66 MHz OEMs can build connector-less systems with multiple loads utilizing high speed grades February 2003 Page 11
12 PCI-X Speed Limitations Memory Controller P o i n t - t o - P o i n t PCI-X Bridge PCI-X Slot PCI-X Bridge PCI-X Slot PCI-X Slot PCI-X Bridge PCI-X Slot PCI-X Slot PCI-X Slot PCI-X Slot M u l t i - D r o p Maximum speed 133 / 266 / 533 MHz Maximum speed 100 MHz Maximum speed 66 MHz February 2003 Page 12
13 PCI-X Speed Limitations Example: Dell PowerEdge 2600 w/intel E7500 Chipset Specifications Two 64-Bit 133 MHz PCI-X Slots Four 64-Bit 100 MHz PCI-X Slots One 32-Bit 33 MHz PCI Slot PCI-X 133 MHz 1 PCI-X 133 MHz 2 PCI-X 100 MHz 2 PCI-X 100 MHz Bus 1 Bus 2 Bus 3 Bus 4 Bus 5 PCI-X 133 MHz 1 Slot each PCI-X 100 MHz 2 Slots each PCI 1 Slot 5 1 PCI 33 MHz February 2003 Page 13
14 The Future of PCI-X PCI-X 3.0 specification in development Expected to become available in late 2004 Backwards-compatible with PCI-X 1.0 / 2.0 PCI-X 1066 will provide 1066 MHz data rate with 8.5 GB/sec bandwidth First application for PCI-X 1066 are 40 Gigabit Ethernet adapters with bandwidth requirements of 8 Gigabytes per second! Investigations of PCI-X 2133 are underway February 2003 Page 14

16 PCI Express High-speed point-to-point architecture that is essentially a serialized, packetized version of PCI General purpose serial I/O bus for chip-to-chip communication, USB 2.0 / IEEE 1349b interconnects, and high-end graphics viable AGP replacement Bandwidth 4 Gigabit/second full duplex per lane Up to 32 separate lanes 128 Gigabit/second Software-compatible with PCI device driver model Expected to coexist with and not displace technologies like PCI-X in the foreseeable future February 2003 Page 16
17 Buzzworthy InfiniBand Backed by Intel, Sun, Dell, HP and others Connects servers with remote storage and networking devices, and other servers with throughput rates of 2.5 Gigabit/second (1x) to 10 Gigabit/second (4x) Will also be used inside servers for inter-processor communication (IPC) in parallel clusters HyperTransport Promoted by AMD, Cisco, Sun and others Advanced high-speed, high-performance, point-to-point link for integrated circuits System interconnect with peak bandwidth of 12.8GB/sec RapidIO Promoted by IBM, Motorola and others Allows chip-to-chip and board-to-board communications at performance levels scaling to ten Gigabits per second Targeted at embedded world February 2003 Page 17
18 Q: Does Digi provide PCI-X products? A: No. Q: Are Digi products supported in PCI-X systems? A: Absolutely.* * All Universal PCI and 3.3V products February 2003 Page 18
19 Digi and PCI-X Extension of the PCI standard providing improved speed, bandwidth, and more efficient bus transaction processing PCI-X supports both 3.3V-only and Universal PCI boards PCI-X does not support 5V-only PCI boards All of Digi s Universal PCI adapters work in PCI-X systems! PCI-X systems allow the use of both PCI and PCI-X cards on the same bus, but the slowest PCI card dictates the bus speed PCI-X performance degradation can be easily avoided by separating Digi Universal PCI adapters (33 MHz/32-Bit) and high-performance PCI-X adapters using different PCI-X bus segments! February 2003 Page 19
20 Avoiding Performance Degradation Example: Dell PowerEdge 2600 w/intel E7500 Chipset Specifications Five independent PCI/PCI-X bus interfaces that can be used to group adapters by speed/type to avoid any performance degradation of PCI-X system components! Two 64-Bit 133 MHz PCI-X Slots Four 64-Bit 100 MHz PCI-X Slots One 32-Bit 33 MHz PCI Slot PCI-X 133 MHz 1 PCI-X 133 MHz 2 PCI-X 100 MHz 2 PCI-X 100 MHz Bus 1 Bus 2 Bus 3 Bus 4 Bus 5 PCI-X 133 MHz 1 Slot each PCI-X 100 MHz 2 Slots each PCI 1 Slot 5 1 PCI 33 MHz February 2003 Page 20

Digi s Universal PCI adapters can be used in all conventional PCI systems! Digi s Universal PCI adapters are 32-Bit and operate at 33 MHz! Digi Universal PCI adapters can be used in 64-bit PCI slots! Same PCI-X performance / bus segmentation approach! February 2003 Page 21
