Installing the Adapter
To install the adapter:
1. Turn off and unplug the computer.
2. Remove the computer case.
3. Remove the blank panel from an empty PCIe bus slot. See “Preparing the Adapter
for Installation” on page 8 to change the brackets if needed. Otherwise, proceed to
“Attaching Devices” on page 10.
Note:
Place the adapter into an empty PCIe x8 or x16 slot. Make sure that the
adapter is in an appropriate PCIe slot that does not interfere with other
components or case to prevent damage to the adapter.
4. Insert the adapter into the empty x8 or x16 PCIe bus slot. Press firmly until the
adapter is seated.
5. Secure the adapter's mounting bracket to the case with a panel screw or clip.
6. Replace the computer case and tighten the case screws.
The adapter is now installed in the server and is ready for device attachment.
Attaching Devices
There are two types of cables that can be connected to the adapter:
Fibre optic cable
DAC cable
An adapter does not allow normal data transmission on either optical or copper links,
unless it is connected to a compatible optical or copper interface connection. The cable
and connector specifications are listed in Table 2-1, Cable and Connector
Specifications.
Note:
Use Short Range (SR), Direct-connecting Receptacle (DCR) multimode fiber, or
SFP+ 10GbE copper cable for interface connections to a network that adheres
to the specifications listed in Table 2-1, Cable and Connector Specifications.
