Chapter 3
FRU Installation
3.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the installation and removal of PCIe cards and details of the
SFP/SFP+ modules.
3.2 Install PCIe Card
NOTE: The installation and removal procedures of PCIe cards depend on the type of the
card. Refer to the documentation of the respective PCIe card for these procedures.
The Extreme Edge Server card has a x16 PCIe right-angle connector that can
accommodate a standard or custom PCIe add-in card. There are two stand-offs available
for optional, custom rear support for the PCIe card. The maximum physical size is
full-height, 3/4 length.
Installation Procedure
1. Make sure that the system is powered down and disconnected from DC power before
installing the card.
2. Make sure your are wearing an ESD wrist strap.
3. Remove the screws (on three sides) of the chassis top cover and remove the cover.
4. Unscrew the PCIe slot cover.
Keep the screw and store the slot cover for later use.
5. Align the PCIe card with the PCIe connector and front panel opening.
6. Press the PCIe card into the connector until it is fully seated.
7. Secure the PCIe front panel with the screw removed in step 4 .
NOTES: SMART EC highly recommends securing the PCIe card to the two stand-offs
located on the chassis at the rear of the card. Custom brackets may be required.
The PCIe slot receives 12V (5.5A max) and 3.3 V (3.0A max) power from
the card. The PCIe slot can accommodate cards with up to 75W power
dissipation.
The system ships with a filler card or filler panel installed into the unpopulated PCIe
slot. Remove the filler card or panel before installing PCIe card.
