3.b. Removing PCIe cable:
1)
To remove PCIe cable pull back on green thumb tab to release metal pins and gently separate.
3.c. Installation instructions for a 2-slot backplane
1) Insert the HIB2 x4 in host mode in a PCIe slot in the host computer
2) Connect the 2-slot backplane to an ATX power supply separate from the host system power supply.
3) Insert the HIB2 x4 in target mode in the PCIe connector on the test backplane, next to the ATX connector.
4) Insert the PCIe endpoint board in the other PCIe slot on the test backplane.
5) Connect the PCIe cable to both the host and target HIB2 x4.
6) Turn on the power supply for the test backplane. NOTE: The power supply and test backplane will not power up at this
time.
7) Turn on the host system. Signals across the PCIe cable will cause the test backplane to power up as well. The power and
cable LEDS on both HIB2 x4s should be on, indicating that the host system is communicating with the endpoint board.
