Page 7: Introduction
Introduction The PCIe x8 Gen 3 cable adapter with PCIe switch is a PCIe half-height add-in card with two boards (OSS-386 and OSS-390) attached together with four x8 cable external connectors on the slot cover. It operates in upstream mode with Dipswitch setting change. The host cable adapter installs in the PCIe slot of a computer’s motherboard only. -

Power is provided by the PCI-e card slot. Power required by internal components of OSS-PCIe-HIB-38-x8 -QUAD is estimated to be 20 watts when all 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. -

Photos below are some of the different backplanes showing where the locations of the “Upstream” slot. Install PCIe card Plug-in your third party PCIe card in the expansion backplane. Use the downstream slot on the OSS backplane. See photos below for the location of the downstream slot / end-point slot. -
Page 26: Install X8 Ipass Cable
Plug in the cable to the Target card. Connect the cable to the “top external connector / port”. Do not use the bottom port of the card. Make sure the cable is firmly latched in to the cable connectors of the card. If you are connecting 4 expansion units, use one cable per expansion unit. See photos below.

Page 34: Verify Device In Windows Os
In Windows 7, Windows 10 or Windows Server Device Manager, you should see 8 instances of “Base System Device” coming up with a “Blue Question mark” or Yellow exclamation mark. It is normal for the OSS device to show up with the yellow bang, no need to install the driver, the device will operate properly. - Page 35 One Stop Systems On a standard workstation / desktop computer, if you go to Device Manager and view it “devices by connection”, the OSS-386 and 0SS-390 will be enumerated / recognized as “PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge”, see photos below. The first PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge is the OSS-386 board per PLX 8749.
- Page 36 One Stop Systems On a server platform running Server OS, the OSS boards will appear below the “PCI Express standard Root Port” and come up as “PCI Express standard Upstream Switch Port” and “PCI Express standard Downstream Switch Port”, see screenshot below.
