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-HIB38-x16| 5...
PCIe bus at 120Gb/s with extremely low latency because there is no conversion software. Part numbers: OSS-PCIe-HIB38-x16-H (Host Adapter) OSS-PCIe-HIB38-x16-H-F (Host Adapter, Full Height bracket) OSS-PCIe-HIB38-x16-H-H (Host Adapter, Half Height bracket) OSS-PCIe-HIB38-x16-T (Target Adapter) OSS-PCIe-HIB38-x16-T-F (Target Adapter, Full Height)
Power is provided by the PCI-e card slot. Power required by internal components of OSS-PCIe-HIB-38-x16 is estimated to be 15 watts when both ports are fully linked and operating in Gen3 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.
Note that the PEX8733’s upstream port is set to 8 by the mode 1 eeprom. The upstream system provides a copy of its SSC, and the on-board buffer provides a copy to the downstream target as well as the PEX8733’s core logic. OSS-PCIe-HIB38-x16| 9...

One Stop Systems Mode 2: Host Mode. In this mode, the PCI-e cable is connected to a downstream (target) or the cable port of a Mode 0 OSS-PCIe- HIB-38-x16, while the card edge interface is installed in an upstream host system. The host system’s SSC is used to provide the PEX8733 core logic clock as well as the cable’s reference clock.

OSS Expansion chassis or OSS expansion board / backplane x16 Gen 3 You need an expansion chassis with Gen3 backplane . Photos below are example of Gen3 OSS backplanes and an expansion unit. The HIB card has custom pinout unique to OSS and only OSS Target adapters will work in the upstream slot of our expansion backplanes.
OSS-370 boar card requires no driver or software on Windows based OS and Linux. Tools Required for Installation To complete the installation of the OSS product you will need a Phillips-head screwdriver and ESD wrist strap to prevent electrostatic discharge. OSS-PCIe-HIB38-x16| 13...
Target adapter (aka: Target Card, Expansion Interface Card) The target card(Part# OSS-PCIe-HIB38-x16-T) fits into an OSS custom slot backplane and extends the PCIe bus to a single add-in board via a PCIe x16 cable. The “Target Card” can only be installed in a designated “Upstream slot” on OSS expansion backplane.
Detach the standard bracket from the card, and place the low profile bracket and secure it. Use proper ESD procedures when completing this action. Install the host card in the computer. Plug in the host card in the x16 Gen3 PCIe slot. Secure the card. OSS-PCIe-HIB38-x16| 15...
Install HIB Target card Install the Target card in OSS expansion backplane. Plug-in the target card in the designated Upstream slot of the backplane. The HIB Target card will only work in the OSS backplane designated Upstream slot. Below photos are example of Gen3 OSS expansion backplanes showing where the location of the Upstream slot.
Insert the cable connector into the connector shell on the board until the connector teeth snap securely into the holes in the cable shell. See photos below. Connect cable to Host adapter card, which is installed in the computer. OSS-PCIe-HIB38-x16| 17...
