Supported Use Cases

Using a pair of OSS-PCIe-HIB616-x16 card (Target and Host cards), OSS Gen4 backplane and PCIe Gen4 cables.

2.7

2.7.1

This configuration is

NOT

supported. The OSS-518 board (HIB616-x16card) is not programmed for this option, nor will it work from hardware

standpoint.

2.7.2

Using 3

Party Target Backplane

This is not supported. However, this configuration may work with appropriate switch confirmation. The OSS- 518 cards 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. If customer expects remote turn ON, then they need to add that to their backplane, otherwise, they need to turn

on the backplane power (not just AUX) before powering on host. Not guaranteed to work.

2.7.3

Connecting to 3

This is not supported. But it may work as long as the 3

customer is responsible for troubleshooting their non-OSS / 3

Party backplane via on-board SFF-8644 connector.

party backplane creates its own REFCLK, Reset and is powered on first. If issue arises,

party backplane. Not guaranteed to work.
