Note: Fan speed is controlled by adjusting fan voltage based on sensed system temperature. Fan voltage
adjusts from 6V min (25deg C or lower) at 50% to 12V max (50deg C or higher) at 100%. Fan voltage is
the same for all fans.
Status: PWR OFF is 0V at 00%; system is in standby.
Status: Running aaV at pp%; fan is good; aa = fan voltage and pp = fan power percent (%).
Status: STOPPED is 12V at 100%; fan fault: fan voltage is set to full on.
Status: NO FAN aaV at pp%; Xpander can be configured with 1, 2, 3 or 4 fans. No fan means fan
is not installed.
PCIe Link Status
Menu Sub-menu Sub-menu Sub-menu
Menu: PCIe Link Status
Sub-Menu: Indicates x16 PCIe cable installation status
Connected x16 cable is properly connected to the HIC
NOT-Connected x16 cable is not properly connected to the HIC
Sub-Menu: x16 PCIe cable link speed and link width. Speed and width depend on the host capability.
Speed: 2.5Gb/s, 5.0Gb/s or 8.0Gb/s
Width: x1, x2, x4, x8, x16 and “NO Link” when the host did not successfully link or Xpander is
in standby power.
Sub-Menu: Link speed and link width for slots 1-4.
Speed: 2.5Gb/s, 5.0Gb/s or 8.0Gb/s
Slot 1 - 4 width: x1, x2, x4, x8, and “NO Link” when the slot is empty, unsuccessful link, or
Xpander is in standby power.
LCD Backlight Control
Press right button to toggle the LCD backlight On / Off.
Fan Speed Control
Shunts JP7 and JP8 are used to change the fan profile to reduce fan noise. For both JP7 and
JP8, pin 1 is farthest from the board edge and pin 3 is closest to the board edge.
