2.8.2 

Using 3

rd

 Party Target Backplane 

This configuration can be 

supported

 with appropriate switch confirmation.   The OSS- 518 card 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.   

 

. 

2.8.3 

Connecting to  3

rd

 Party backplane via on-board SFF-8644 connector 

This should work as long as the 3

rd

 party backplane creates its own REFCLK, Reset and is powered on first. If issue arises, we do not provide 

support on the 3

rd

 party backplane. 

 

Note:   The customer or the end-user is solely responsible for troubleshooting their 3

rd

 party backplane.
