Is the Host card is plugged into a Gen3 x8 or Gen3 x16 slot in the computer’s motherboard and is fully seated? Ensure that the two slots on the OSS-419 backplane are populated with your PCIe cards and are fully seated in the slot? Is the Power supply cable connected to the INPUT power connection on the OSS-419 board? ...
