Turn ON the Host Computer
Turn ON the host computer / server. Two “bracket LEDs” will illuminate as solid green.

Powering UP the ECA board
The ECA expansion board is switched ON remotely by the Host computer.
A Power ON / Sideband signal is sent from the cable upon turning ON the host, triggering the ECA expansion board to Power ON.
o
When using a different brand or a non-OSS host adapter card and a non-OSS cable, the sideband signals may not operate
properly which can cause the ECA board not to initialize and generate power and link failures.
The ECA expansion board will turn ON automatically upon powering UP the computer and it will power OFF when the computer is
shutdown.

Verify Hardware
To verify a working hardware, check the LEDs on the “host card” and “ECA board”. A working ECA board will have three solid Green LEDs. The
