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-HIB25x8| 6...
The PCIe x8 adapter extends the PCIe bus at 40Gb/s with extremely low latency because there is no conversion software Part numbers: OSS-PCIE-HIB25-x8-T (Target) OSS-PCIE-HIB25-x8-H (Host) Specifications...
Power is provided by the PCI-e card slot. Power required by internal components of OSS-PCIe-HIB-25-x16 is estimated to be 4 watts when both ports are fully linked and operating in Gen2 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.
The HIB card interface includes the following features One x8 PCIe bus routed to PCIe Card Edge One x8 PCIe bus routed to the PCIe Cable Connector PCIe Clock route from Card Edge to Cable Connector via a Clock Buffer. Block Diagram & Signal Direction OSS-PCIe-HIB25x8| 9...

NOTE: The HIB25-x8 card works in pair (one as host card and other as target card) One x8 iPass cable OSS Expansion chassis with Gen2 backplane, or OSS expansion backplane and power supply. 2.1.1 HIB25-x8 card (Host and Target) 2.1.2 PCIe Slot &...
You need an expansion chassis with Gen2 or Gen3 backplane . Photos below are example of Gen3 OSS backplanes and an expansion unit. The HIB card has custom pin out that unique to OSS and only OSS Target adapters will work in the upstream slot of our expansion backplanes.
Power down the host computer first before installing the host card. Do not install the host card while the computer is ON. Install the HIB25-X8 host card into the available PCIe slot in the computer motherboard. Use a x8 or x16 Gen2/Gen3 PCIe slot. Secure the card OSS-PCIe-HIB25x8| 15...
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 designated “Upstream” slot. It will not function in the downstream slot or the end-point slot of the backplane.
One Stop Systems Install PCIe card Plug-in your 3rd party PCIe card in the expansion backplane. Use the downstream slot of the OSS backplane. See photos below. Install link cable Connect the PCIe iPass x8 cable between the host and target cards. Plug in the cable to the host card.
If you are using an expansion chassis, the power supply is already part of the unit. You can skip this step. If you are using an expansion backplane, plug-in the ATX power supply cable into the 24pin ATX power connector on the OSS board Connect power to the PSU and turn the switch to ON position.
