    One Stop Systems Hardware to Use This section provides the hardware parts needed for the OSS-427 board to work. It is strictly recommended to follow and use the hardware requirements listed below in order for the OSS-BP-427 board to operate properly.
  • Page 18: X8 Or X16 Ipass Cable

    Gen3 OSS Host and Target cards The OSS x16 HBA / HIB cards must be used in pair. When using the x16 card, you must set the switches to proper operating mode. There are two modes, host and target. Photos below represent each card switch settings.
  • Page 19: Power Supply

    One Stop Systems 2.3.4 Power Supply There are several ways to power up your OSS-427 board. You can use an external power brick or standard ATX power supply. External Power Brick: Photo below is an example of an external power brick. ...
  • Page 20: Software Requirement

    The 4 pin +12 volt cable is polarized so it can only be plugged into the 4 pin board connector correctly. The motherboard connectors and the OSS backplane have the same square and rounded arrangement so the power cable only fits in one way.
  • Page 21: Installation Procedures

    The following steps will guide you through the installation of your backplane. Connect Power Supply This section shows you how to connect an external power brick or a standard power supply to OSS-427 board. You can either use an external power brick or a standard ATX power supply.
  • Page 22: Standard Atx Power Supply

    If an external power brick is not available you can use a standard ATX power supply that has a 4pin +12V cable connector, see attached photo See photos below on how the 4pin +12v power cable is being connected to the INPUT power connector on the OSS-427 board. 3.1.3 4pin-to-12V Adapter Cable If the power supply does not have a 4pin +12V connector, you can use a “4 Pin MOLEX to ATX P4 CPU 4Pin 12V”...
