Page 6: Getting Started - Installing The Cards
Remove the PC cover • Locate a vacant PCIe (x4 or above) slot for the HLink-Optical card in the host machine and a PICMG 1.3 compliant slot in the expansion chassis for the SLink-Optical card. Remove the backing plates (retain all screws). - Page 7 Star Configuration ExCable-Optical HLink-Optical SLink-Optical Fig.4 Daisy Chain Configuration ExCable-Optical ExCable-Optical ExCable-Optical ExCable-Optical Main Chassis HLink-Optical HLink-Optical HLink-Optical HLink-Optical SLink-Optical SLink-Optical SLink-Optical Fig. 5...

Page 9: Creating The Link - "X8
ExCable-Optical link the PCIe connection is “x4” and the bandwidth is reduced to 3.2GB/s. In “x4” mode the Jumper Link “J7” must be set to position 1-2 as shown in Fig.11. Either (or both) connectors on the HLink-Optical card can be used, but only the top connector of the SLink-Optical card (see Fig.12). -
