Installation
Introduction
The DAG 7.5G4 card operates on an 4 lane PCIe bus and can be installed in any free 4 lane
PCIe slot.
The PCIe bus allows multiple DAG cards to be installed without affecting the bandwidth
used by each DAG 7.5G4 card.
DAG Software package
The latest DAG Software package must be installed before you install the DAG 7.5G4 card
itself. See
EDM04-01 DAG Software Installation Guide
, which is included on the CD shipped
with the DAG 7.5G4 card.
Inserting the DAG Card
Caution:
It is very important to protect both the computer and the DAG 7.5G4 card from
damage by electro-static discharge (ESD). Failure to do so could cause damage to
components and subsequently cause the card to partially or completely fail.
1.
Turn power to the computer OFF.
2.
Remove the PCIe bus slot screw and cover.
3.
Using an approved ESD protection device attach the end with the strap to your wrist
and pull or clip firmly so there is firm contact with your wrist.
4.
Securely attach the clip on the other end of the strap to a solid metal area on the
computer chassis as shown below.
5.
Insert the DAG 7.5G4 card into PCIe bus slot ensuring it is firmly seated.
6.
If this DAG card requires an external power supply, complete the following steps:
a.
Connect the supplied (or equivalent) power cable to the external power connector
on the DAG card.
b.
Connect the cable to the appropriate power connector on your server's power
supply unit.
7.
Check the free end of the card fits securely into the card-end bracket that supports the
weight of the card.
8.
Secure the card with the bus slot cover screw.
9.
Turn power to the computer ON.
10.
Ensure the blue (FPGA successfully programmed) LED on the DAG card illuminates.
