OSS-BP-412 One PCIe x 16 3.0 Slot Backplane 412 User Manual
Overview
Description
The OSS target backplane supports a PCIe Gen3 target cable adapter installed in the OSS target slot and one PCIe x16 expansion card installed in the expansion / downstream slot. The slots are backward compatible and support Gen 1 and Gen 2 target adapters and expansion cards. Only target adapters with the OSS target slot configuration are supported. Expansion cards designed to the PCIe PCI-SIG specification are supported. While the backplane is used in the CUBE products, it can also be used in test applications as a stand-alone backplane with 12VDC power applied.
Features
Backplane
- The backplane has two slots
- 1slot is Target slot (a.k.a “Upstream slot / port”). This is a designated slot for the target adapter card
- 2nd slot is the expansion slot (a.k.a “Downstream” slot / port). Use this slot to plug in a specific PCIe card. The downstream slot accommodates a single x2, x4, x8 and x16 PCIe card.
- The slot is backward compatible and support Gen 1 and Gen2
- Target slot is x16 Gen 3
- Expansion slot is x16 Gen 3
- 12 VDC input
Adapter Cards
- There are different types of cable adapter cards to use with the backplane. It is recommended to use a compatible OSS cable adapter card.
- The Host adapter card inserts into any x16 slot on the host motherboard.
- The Target adapter card operates ONLY in the OSS backplane target slot.
- Support half-height bracket.
- The Host and Target cable adapter cards require no software / drivers.

Connector Pin-Outs
Cable Adapter Cards
Use any compatible OSS cable adapter cards. Always use a pair of cable adapter cards, one as host and the other as target, when connecting the backplane to host computer. Below photos are few example cable adapter cards you can use.
x4 Gen 2 iPass Cable Adapter Card
SKU# OSS-PCIe-HIB25-x4
x16 Gen3 iPass Cable Adapter
SKU# OSS-PCIe-HIB38-x16. For more details on the card, please read the OSS-
PCIe-HIB36-x16 User’s Manual.

Host Adapter Card
The Host card can only be installed in the computer motherboard of a host computer.
Target cable adapter card
The target adapter card inserts into the designated target slot (Upstream slot) on the OSS expansion backplane. Do not plug in the target card in the “Downstream slot” on the expansion backplane.
Installation Instructions
Install Host Card
Insert the host cable adapter into an appropriate PCIe slot of the host computer. For example, a PCIe x4 host board can be inserted into a PCIe x16, x8, or x4 slot. It will still operate at x4 speeds. If you re using a x16 Gen3 cable adapter, use a x16 PCIe slot on the computer’s motherboard. Secure the cable adapter card
Install Target Card
Insert the target cable adapter card into the PCIe slot (this is the designated slot). The target slot is also known as “Upstream slot”, see photos below. The Target card will only operate in the Target slot / Upstream slot.
Photos below are few examples of x4 and x16 target cards being installed in the Target slot (also known as Upstream slot).
x4 Card installed in the target slot
x16 card installed in the target slot
NOTE: Do not use the Endpoint slot (Expansion slot / Downstream slot) for the “Target Cable Adapter card”.
Plug in Add-in Card / 3rd Party PCIe card
Plug in the add-in card or PCIe card in the available IO slot (Endpoint slot:
also known as expansion slot and / or downstream slot), see photos below.
Carefully plug in the add-in card or your 3rd party PCIe card (i.e. Ethernet card, Storage card, Video card, Sound Card and etc) in the downstream slot.
Connect Power
Connect +12v 4-PIN Aux power cable from your ATX power supply to either J3, J5
or both J3 and J5, see photos below.
If your ATX power supply does not have a separate +12V 4-pin connector, you can buy a P4-to-ATX Power Supply adapter, see photo below. This cable is not sold by OSS. You can buy this from any online electronics stores. Use the description “P4-to-ATX Power Supply adapter” when searching for the adapter cable on the web.
Connect Link Cable
Connect the link cable between Target and Host cards. You can also use a x8 or x16 iPass or PCIe 3.0 cable, depending on the cable adapter cards you are using.
Connecting x4 Ipass Cable
Connecting x16 iPass Cable
Connecting PCIe 3.0 Cables
For more detail on how to properly connect the PCIe 3.0 cables, please read the manual for the HIB68x16 card.
Power Up the System
- Connect external power brick to the 2-slot backplane. The board LED will turn ON (as solid red). The board is at standby-mode.
- Power up the Host computer. It will instantly power up the Target card and the backplane (the red LED will turn OFF).
- Link between the host and target will be established after the host computer is powered UP. For details and information on the LINK led for each cable adapter cards, please read the assigned manual for the cable adapter card.
Using any Third-party I/O device
- The add-in card or third-party I/O device must be installed in the endpoint slot (expansion slot / downstream port).
- Connect the external power source (separate from the host system power supply) to the add-in card or PCIe card device if necessary.
Force Power ON
- Install shunt or jumper on J1 connector to force power on the backplane. This is not required for normal operation.
Backplane – PWR / FAULT LED
MODE
|
LED Indicator / Description
---|---
Standby| Controller is in the OFF condition, but it is not clear what the LED
signal state is in the OFF condition. Since the LED is powered by 12V input
power (not controlled by PS_ON), the LED may shine in this state.
Operational| Controller is in ON condition and power supplies are within
specified limits. The LED will be OFF.
Malfunction| If output power is not within specified limits, then LED will
shine RED. Or the target board is not initialized
NOTE: The LED is a single color RED device.
