Quick Start Guide
The Amulet Hotkey CoreModule is a unique core expansion module that brings
graphics virtualization and GPU compute acceleration to Dell EMC’s PowerEdge
MX7000 Modular Chassis platform.
CoreModule kit includes:
■
CoreModule expansion module with space for four CoreCartridges;
■
At least one CoreCartridge (not fitted);
■
Amulet Hotkey Mezzanine (‘Mezz’) card(s) with orthogonal connector.
Requirements
■
At least one MX740c or MX840c compute sled installed in an MX7000
enclosure. The sled must have two Scalable Xeon CPUs installed
■
Each sled that accesses a CoreCartridge requires a new mezz card
■
Two compute sleds to utilize both GPUs in a CoreCartridge
■
Two CoreModules to utilize two GPUs per compute sled
Caution
■
Power down any sleds that connect to the CoreModule with Amulet
Hotkey Mezzanine cards before you install or remove a CoreModule
■
Always use appropriate anti-static handling procedures
Before you start
1. Remove all packaging and keep.
2. Power down any sleds that connect to the CoreModule with an Amulet Hotkey
mezzanine card.
3. Select the correct location for the CoreCartridge(s) in the CoreModule.
Example: If there are two compute sleds in slots 1 and 2 in the chassis then install
the CoreCartridge into position A. See Figure 1 .

Prepare the sled(s)
1. Do the following for each sled that will access a CoreCartridge.
■
Remove a compute sled from the MX7000 enclosure
■
Install the Amulet Hotkey Mezzanine card in the sled
■
Replace a compute sled in the MX7000 enclosure
Remove a compute sled from the MX7000 enclosure
1. Press the blue release button on the sled to release the sled handle. See Figure 2 .
2. Hold the sled handle and slide the sled out of the enclosure. See Figure 2 .

Install the Amulet Hotkey Mezzanine card in the sled
1. With a Philips #2 screwdriver, remove any Dell mezzanine card from the Fabric B.
2. Install the Amulet Hotkey mezzanine card into Fabric B.
3. Tighten the screws with a Torx T15 screwdriver. See Figure 4 .
