NOTE
It is highly recommended to install any 3
rd
party PCI-E cards / High Power PCIe cards after you have verified and tested that
the OSS expansion chassis is functional and free of hardware failures.
When installing third Party PCIe cards, start with one card first just to see if there are any software and / or hardware issues or incompatibility
problems that may occur. This way you can troubleshoot the problem more easily and efficiently. If everything works well and there are no
configuration issues, you can proceed with the installation of the remaining third party PCIe cards.
Always refer to or read “3
rd
party manufacturer installation guide” for further instructions.
