3 Installation Procedures
Host adapter
(aka: HIB - Host Interface Board)
The host adapter (aka: Host Interface card) is installed into the host computer’s PCIe x16 slot. The host cable adapter (Part # OSS-PCIe-HIB38-
x16-H) allows communication between a processor and an I/O point.
Target adapter
(aka: Target Card, Expansion Interface Card)
The target card(Part# OSS-PCIe-HIB38-x16-T) fits into an OSS custom slot backplane and extends the PCIe bus to a single add-in board via a PCIe
x16 cable. The “Target Card” can only be installed in a designated “Upstream slot” on OSS expansion backplane.
