Handle all sensitive components at an ESD workstation. If possible, use anti-static floor pads and workbench pads. Handle components and boards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts on a board. Hold a board by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. OSS-PCIe-HIB35x4 | 6...
It operates in upstream or downstream mode with Dipswitch setting change. The host cable adapter installs in the PCIe slot of a host server and the target cable adapter installs in the Target slot / Upstream slot of the OSS backplane.
Power is provided by the PCI-e card slot. Power required by internal components of OSS-PCIe-HIB-35-x4 is estimated to be 4 watts when both ports are fully linked and operating in Gen2 mode. Cable power is to be provided per PCIe cable specification. When an active cable (powered transceiver) is used, additional power is required from the PCI-e card slot.
The second set of 4 LEDs show the PCIe lane width connection through the card edge to host system. LEDs 0-3 represent lanes 1-4. These LEDs will be solid when a link is established and off when there is NO link. If an LED is flashing, the link is training unsuccessfully. OSS-PCIe-HIB35x4 | 10...
PCIe slot. Use Gen2 x16, x8 or x4 PCIe slot. When the card dipswitch is configured to operate in Host mode, it cannot be installed in a target slot (Upstream slot) on the OSS expansion backplane. It must be installed in the computer’s motherboard PCIe slot. OSS-PCIe-HIB35x4 | 12...

2.1.5 ATX Power Supply If you are using an OSS backplane with the HIB35-x4 card you need a power supply unit to provide power. A standard ATX power supply will work with the boards. Software Requirement Computer running Windows 7, 8, 10 and or Server...
Power down the host computer first before installing the host card. Do not install the host card while the computer is ON. Install the HIB35-x4 host card into the available PCIe slot in the computer’s motherboard. Use a x4, x8 or x16 Gen2 PCIe slot. Make sure to secure the card with a screw. OSS-PCIe-HIB35x4 | 18...
Do not plug in the target card while expansion unit or the expansion backplane is ON as this can damage the board. Turn OFF the unit first before installing the card. The HIB Target card will only work in the OSS backplane “Upstream” slot. It will not function in the downstream slot or the end-point slot of the backplane.
One Stop Systems Install PCIe card Plug-in your 3rd party PCIe card in the expansion backplane. Use the downstream slot on the OSS backplane. See photos below showing where the location of the downstream slot / end-point slot. Install link cable ...
If you are using an expansion chassis, the power supply is already part of the unit. You can skip this step. If you are using an expansion backplane, plug-in the ATX power supply cable into the 24pin ATX power connector on the OSS board.
LEDs on boards and bracket are illuminated. In this setup, the host is not powered UP or the host is not connected to the target. Bracket LED: 1 is lit as solid green Board LEDs: PWR= Solid Green RST = Solid Red CRST = Solid Red 0 and 1 = Solid Green OSS-PCIe-HIB35x4 | 22...
