Installing Cards in the 1U PCIe Expansion Chassis
The PCIe expansion chassis functions in a similar manner to a computer chassis that supports PCIe
slots. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions or restrictions for installing their card.
Important: Replacement (swapping) of a PCIe card in the 1U chassis may be done while the
system is powered on. Addition of a new card while the system is running requires a reboot to
initiate recognition and functionality. Removal (without replacement) of an existing PCIe card
may cause system error messages. When installing PCIe cards, ensure that the input current rating
specified on the AC input label is not exceeded.
The EB4-1U-SGI chassis provides space for up to four (4) PCIe cards in the following “lane”
bandwidth configurations:
Note: Before installing the PCIe expansion cards, be sure to remove each respective slot cover
and use its screw to secure your expansion card in place.
1.
Working from the front of the expansion chassis, locate the two “thumb screws” that hold
the PCIe board “carriage” in the expansion chassis.
2.
Turn the two thumb screws counter-clockwise until they disengage from the 1U chassis.
3.
Pull the T-shaped board “carriage” out of the chassis until the slots are clear of the unit.
4.
Select an available slot based on the lane support your PCIe card requires, see Table 6-2.
5.
Remove the metal slot cover from the selected slot and retain its screw.
