In this video, we will walk you through the setup process for the OSS 4U Pro Gen5 PCIe System. We utilize the OSS Short Depth Server (SDS) as the host for the purposes of this video, but the OSS 4U Pro can be connected to any server with an open x16 PCIe slot.
The 4U Pro is a rugged AI Transportable system that provides optimized, configurable PCIe Gen5 expansion for edge AI applications. As shown in the video, the 4U Pro can support many different PCIe add-in cards, including double-wide GPUs (up to 8). Auxiliary power is provided by the system for add-in cards that require additional power. The 4U Pro can also be configured to provide 16 single-width PCIe Gen4 x8 slots for scale out IO applications, such FPGA data ingest or the latest NVMe storage add-in cards.
One of the most important parts of setup is ensuring that the upstream and downstream cards are properly installed. The upstream card will need to be installed in the host server in an available PCIe x16 slot. The downstream card will come pre-installed in the 4U Pro. This video shows the dipswitch settings for the two cards to confirm they are set properly, and the host can recognize the add-in cards installed in the 4U Pro. These settings can also seen in more detail in the 4U Pro user manual.
Additional features of the 4U Pro Gen5 PCIe Expansion System include the OSS Unified Baseboard Management Controller (U-BMC), replaceable fan filters, and an optional SmartNIC host configuration.

Watching the conflicts play out recently in the Ukraine and Iran, it is certain that there has been not only massive adoption in implementation of AI, sensor processing, sensor fusion, and autonomy but also massive advancement of those technologies in relatively short time periods compared to any other time in history. The leaders on the battlefield are those that have harnessed and deployed these technologies without delay in alignment to standards, timing, or bureaucracy in acquiring. Because the level and pace of technology today is so steep, those who fail to adopt and move with a sense of urgency run the risk of falling behind in a technology battle from which they may never have the time or ability to catch up.
Before starting college in 2022, I had considered artificial intelligence (AI) a thing of the future, something I wouldn’t see until I was later in my years. With the birth of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and the rise of machine learning systems, my world flipped on its head. Since joining the tech industry, I see I am not alone with this experience. From one year to the next, there is no telling what kind of technological developments we will bear witness to. When it comes to the defense and security of our nation, capitalizing on these advancements is paramount, lest we fall behind our adversaries. As a result, within the defense industry, marketers are required to become adaptable to the shifting needs of their company’s customers.
