Example of inspection PC with 7 PCI Express expansion cards

■ This is an article posted on June 2020, 9, so the content of the information may be out of date.

We would like to introduce an example of a consultation on an inspection PC received from a customer.

We received a consultation about a PC that can be equipped with seven expansion cards that require auxiliary power supply that the customer is using. After confirming that this expansion card works reliably with 7 expansion cards installed, we wanted to consider purchasing it, so we took the actual expansion card from the customer and conducted a preliminary verification. ..

There are two types of expansion cards, "PCI-E 6-pin power supply type" and "Peripheral 4-pin power supply type". Each of them is installed in a PC, and after confirming that there is no problem in operation, the following PC configuration is installed. I made a suggestion. The customer was worried about the I2C collision, but this configuration was equipped with a MUX chip to prevent the collision, and there was no problem in that respect either.
