Introduction

The DS320PR410-RSC-EVM evaluation module features eight DS320PR410 linear redrivers that can extend the transmission distance of a PCIe Gen-5 x16 bus. The evaluation module can directly be plugged into a PCIe slot on a server or PC motherboard using one end of the board, and paired up with a PCIe add-in card using the straddle mount connector attached to the other end of the board.

This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the DS320PR410-RSC-EVM evaluation module. The user's guide details how to set up and configure hardware and reviews various aspects of the software operation. Throughout this document, the terms evaluation board, evaluation module, and EVM are synonymous with the DS320PR410-RSC-EVM. This user's guide also provides information on the operating procedure, input and output connections, an electrical schematic, printed circuit board (PCB) layout drawings, and a Bill of Materials (BOM) for the EVM.
