3. Installation Instructions
3.a. Installing Adapter Kit
1) Insert the upstream host cable adapter into an appropriate PCIe slot of the host computer.
3.b. When using with the 2-slot Backplane:
2) Insert the downstream target cable adapter into the PCIe slot closest to the white ATX power connector, labeled
TARGET on the 2-slot backplane.
3) Connect the 2-slot backplane to an ATX power supply separate from the host system power supply. Note:
Sometimes an external load is necessary for ATX power supplies to regulate properly. (I.e.
– connecting hard
drive power)
4) Insert the PCI add-in board in the ENDPOINT slot on the 2-slot backplane.
5) Connect the PCIe cable to both the upstream and the downstream cable adapters.
6) Turn on the power supply to the 2-slot backplane. The 3V aux LED will light. NOTE: The power supply and 2-slot
backplane will not power up at this time.
7) Turn on the host system. Signals across the PCIe cable will cause the 2-slot backplane to power up. The power
and cable LEDs on the upstream and downstream cable adapters will light.
3.c. When using with any third party device:
1) Install the downstream board into the appropriate PCIe slot.
2) Connect the external power source (separate from the host system power supply) to the downstream device if
necessary.
3) Connect the PCIe cable to both the upstream host adapter and the downstream device.
3.d. Removing PCIe cable:
1)
To remove PCIe cable pull back on green thumb tab to release metal pins and gently separate.
