Install  x8 iPass cable 

3.5.1 

Connect Cable to Target card 

 

 

Plug in the x8 iPass cable to the target card.  Connect the cable to the “Top external connector / port”.  Do not use the bottom port 
of the card. Make sure the cable is firmly latched in to the cable connectors of the card. 

 

 

 
 
 

3.5.2 

Connect Cable to Host card 

 

 

Plug in the other end of the two cables to the Host card.  If you are only connecting a single cable (for one expansion unit), you can 
use either the top or bottom port of the host card.
