3.8 Power ON the system
Before powering ON the system please check the following:
1.
Is the IPass x8 cable fully and firmly attached between the target and host card?
2.
Is the Target card fully seated in the Upstream slot?
3.
Is the Host card is plugged into a Gen3 x8 or Gen3 x16 slot in the computer’s motherboard and it is fully seated?
4.
Ensure that the downstream slot on the OSS-427 backplane is populated with your PCIe card and is fully seated in the
slot?
5.
Is the Power supply cable connected to the INPUT power connection on the OSS-427 board?
If everything is checked out GOOD, next is to turn ON the main power of the host computer.
Upon powering ON the Host system, it will send a sideband signal to the Target card triggering the target expansion
system to turn ON.
Next is to verify your hardware.
