1 Introduction
The PCIe x8 Gen 3 cable adapter with PCIe switch is a PCIe half-height add-in card with two boards (OSS-386 and OSS-390) attached together
with four x8 cable external connectors on the slot cover. It operates in upstream mode with Dipswitch setting change. The host cable adapter
installs in the PCIe slot of a computer’s motherboard only.

Power
There are two boards on the HIB3x-8 QUAD. The mezzanine card (OSS-390 ) and the OSS-386 (the main
board).
*OSS-386 board. Note that the power supplied to the OSS-390 board is supplied through the OSS-386. It is
not connected directly to a PCIe bus. The 386 numbers here DO NOT include the power required to operate
an installed 390 board.
