x4 cable Ports

There are four x4 cable ports available on the HIB / HBA card. It is very important to know where port#0 is when connecting a single x4 PCIe
SFF-8644 cable. Port #0 is the connector nearest the Link LEDs. A single x4 SFF-8644 cable must be inserted into port#0 of the Target card all
the time. For the Host card, you can plug in a single x4 cable to any port if the Host card switch is set to operate in a x4 mode.
When using two x4 SFF-8644 cables, it must be connected to port#0 and port#1 of the Target card only. For the Host card, you can plug-in the
two cables to port#0 and portt#1 OR port#2 and port#3.
Below are photos of the HIB cards in a different position when plugged into a PCIe slot. This will serve as a guide in determining the location of
PORT 0.
