Configuring a complete computer withEBU

The EB7-x8 can be easily transformed into a Host Computer with 8 slots when a Root Complex card is installed in place of the Expansion Interface card.Any Root Complex PCI Express form factor card can replace the Expansion Interface Card (EIF) in order to build your own computer. The remaining 7 PCIe slots can be populated with more root complex cards to build clustering systems or any combination of I/O and root complex PCIe cards.
