### 4. Functionality
The PCIe-PXIe-8638/5M expansion kit functions as a transparent bridge between a host computer and a PXI Express chassis. The PCIe-8638 card installs into an available PCI Express x8 slot on the host PC, while the PXIe-8638 module installs into the system controller slot of the PXI Express chassis. The two units are connected via the included 5-meter PCIe x8 cable, effectively extending the host’s PCIe bus to the PXI Express backplane.
Once connected, the PXI Express chassis and its installed modules appear to the host system as if they were directly connected to the motherboard’s PCIe bus. This hardware-level transparency eliminates the need for additional drivers or configuration utilities. The system supports plug-and-play detection of PXI Express modules, ensuring immediate recognition and operation within the host environment.
