Page 7: Introduction
Introduction The PCIe x16 Gen 4 expansion kit connects a server to an OSS Expansion Backplane. It is composed of a “Gen4 Mini-HD SFF-8644 PCIe cable (SKU# OSS-mSAS-CBL-x4-C-XM)” and two “PCIe x16 Gen 4 Cable Adapter (SKU: OSS- PCIe-HIB616-x16)”. The PCIe x16 Gen 4 host cable adapter plugs into a server and cables to a PCIe x16 Gen 4 switch-based target cable adapter. The expansion kit connects with up to (4) x4, 1 meter SFF-8644 PCIe Gen 4 compliant cables. -

This configuration can be supported with appropriate switch confirmation. The OSS- 518 card typically outputs REFCLK on pins A6 and A7 which is not PCI standard. This can be changed by using the OSS switch (SW1-4). The OSS-518 outputs POWER_ON signal on a Reserved PCI pin. -
Page 19: Installation Procedures
The following steps will guide you through the installation of your OSS HIB616-x16 card. 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. Configure Card to Host and Target modes Set the switches on the card for the desired operating mode. - Page 20 Install the Target card in the x16 PCIe upstream slot / target slot on the expansion board. Note: Do not plug a Target-configured card in a downstream slot. The Target card will not function in a downstream slot and may cause damage. Secure the card by screwing the card-bracket to the chassis. OSS-KIT-EXP-61611-XM | 20...
