3.4.2.1 Gasket Installation
Note: The following instructions relate to the installation of the gasket for adapter cards that are
not shipped with a gasket already installed. Mellanox Technologies now provides all ConnectX-
3 adapter cards with the gasket already installed unto the bracket.
Note: Due to risk of damaging the EMI gasket, it is not recommended to replace the bracket
more than three times.
1. Remove the paper to expose the adhesive on the gasket.
2. Place the gasket onto the new bracket. Make sure to correctly align the gasket with the hole in
the bracket.
3. If the old gaskets are still on the card, remove them before installing the new bracket.
Be careful not to put stress on the LEDs.
