System overview

CX2550-00x0 extension modules

The extension modules of type CX2550-xxxx for the CX2000 family are attached to the basic CPU module on the right-hand side via a multi-pin connector and are internally connected via PCI Express. The basic CPU module can accommodate up to two modules, so that up to three storage media are available in total. This expansion capability offers the advantage that a RAID system can be set up when more than one storage medium is used.

The CX2550-0020 extension module features a 2½-inch slot, which is suitable for HDD/SSD storage media with a thickness of up to 9.5 mm. The storage media are installed at the front with the aid of a slide-in frame, so that they can be exchanged quickly and easily. The storage medium is protected by the attachable cap, which latches to the housing of the module. The internal SATA-6G-Port also offers sufficient bandwidth for the latest SSD storage media.

The CX2550-00100 extension module has a CFast slot for CFast cards. Up to two CX2550-0010 CFast modules can be connected, so that a total of up to three CFast slots are available.
