  • Page 17: Installation Procedures

    Power down the host computer first before installing the host card. Do not install the host card while the computer is ON.  Install the HIB38-x8-DUAL host card into the available PCIe slot in the computer’s motherboard. Use a x16 Gen3 PCIe slot.  Make sure to secure the card. OSS-PCIe-HIB38x8-DUAL | 17...
  • Page 18: Install Hib Target Card

    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.
