Getting
Started
2.5 Power-ON/OFF Sequence
To power-on the PCI express
®
extension system, follow these steps:
1. Check that the 3 M extension cable is properly con-
nected to the host PC and extension chassis.
2. Power-on the extension chassis first.
3. Power-on the host PC.
DO NOT remove the cable after the system and
extension chassis are powered on. Disconnecting the
cable while the system is running may cause
unpredictable system errors and/or system crash.
As the PCI Express
®
-to-PCI extension system is a standard PCIe-
to-PCI bridge interface, the BIOS will identify each device behind
the PCI bridge and assign resource to each one during start up.
Thus users have to power-on the remote chassis first in order to
get appropriate resources from the BIOS.
To power-off the PCI Express
®
extension system, follow these steps:
1. Power-off the host PC.
2. Power-off the extension chassis.
DO NOT power-off the extension chassis until the host
PC is powered off. If the extension chassis is powered off
while the host PC is on, the host PC may hang or crash.
