1 Hardware Requirements

The following steps will guide you through the installation of your OSS-PCIe-ECA-x8-G3 board.

CAUTION

Before touching anything inside the enclosure, move to an ESD station and follow proper ESD procedures. Failure to do so
may result in electrostatic discharge, damaging the computer or its components. For more information, see “

Protecting

Against Electrostatic Discharge

” in the Preface.

1.1

Hardware & System Requirements

You need the following hardware when setting up the OSS-PCIE-ECA-X8-G3

1.

OSS x8 Host Adapter Card (Model: OSS-PCIe-HIB25-x8)

2.

One OSS x8 iPass cable

3.

ATX Power Supply (with 24pin connector)

4.

Gen3 x16 PCIe slot (computer motherboard)

1.1.1

OSS-PCIe-HIB25-x8

A x8 host adapter card is needed in order to connect the OSS-PCIE-ECA-X8-G3 to the host computer. It is strictly recommended to use the
appropriate OSS host adapter card to achieve proper operation. See photo below of the OSS-PCIe-HIB25-x8 card to use.

1.1.2

x8 iPass Cable

Use x8 iPass cable for connecting creating a link between host card and OSS-PCIE-ECA-X8-G3
