For Host Adapter card: Use a server-computer type motherboard that has a Gen3 or Gen2 x16 PCIe slot in order for the card to operate to its max performance. The Host adapter card is recommended to be installed in a x16 connector. OSS-PCIe-ECA-x8-G3| 7... -
Page 8: Installation-Procedure
The diagram or drawing below shows how to setup and use the hardware. The OSS-PCIe-ECA-x8G3 supports x1,x4,x8 and x16 PCIe cards as long as the PRSNT is implemented properly on the installed PCIe card, see section 5.3 (PCIe Connector Pin outs). -

Plug-in the ATX power supply cable into the 24pin ATX power connector on the ECA board Note: Sometimes an external load is necessary for ATX power supplies to regulate properly. (i.e. connecting hard drive power). Connect power to the PSU and turn the switch to ON position. The “3AUX GOOD” LED comes ON. OSS-PCIe-ECA-x8-G3| 10... -
Page 11: Turn On The Host Computer
A Power ON / Sideband signal is sent from the cable upon turning ON the host, triggering the ECA expansion board to Power ON. When using a different brand or a non-OSS host adapter card and a non-OSS cable, the sideband signals may not operate properly which can cause the ECA board not to initialize and generate power and link failures. -
Page 12: Host Card Leds
If only x4 CBL and EDGE LEDs are illuminated, this indicates that you are linking up to x4 only. To achieve a x8 link, you must use (highly recommended) an OSS x8 Ipass cable and an OSS HIB25-x8 adapter card. Identify ECA Device The host card and ECA board are both transparent to the system. -

So as long as the PCIe card / board being plugged-in connects PRSNT1 to any PRSNT2 pin then the redriver will be enabled and its code downloaded from EEPROM. Generally, this means all types of PCIE card (x1, x4, x8 and x16) should work if PRSNT is implemented properly on the installed PCIe card. OSS-PCIe-ECA-x8-G3| 14... -
