Step 10. Attach Cabling to the Interposer
Insert the carrier with the Interposer into the desired backplane slot. Plug one end of the interposer cable to the
Interposer and other end into the analyzer. Attach the 12VDC power and optional clock cables.
This completes the assembly of the Interposer into the Drive Carrier.
Support Bracket for 3.5 Inch Conversion
To support and stabilize the PCI Express Gen4 x4 U.2/U.3 Single/Dual Port Interposer within a 3.5" drive carrier,
Teledyne LeCroy supplies a bracket kit. The bracket can be mounted on either the top or bottom of the Interposer,
depending on the drive carrier configuration. Teledyne LeCroy’s interposer with the 3.5 inch bracket attached is shown
below.
To install the bracket on either side of the Interposer, three screws are provided.
1. Set out the Interposer, bracket and mounting screws as shown below:
2. Using a small Phillips head screw driver insert each screw through the appropriate hole in the bracket.
3. Insert each screw into a threaded hole in the Interposer.
4. Tighten each screw so that the bracket is held firmly to the top or bottom of the Interposer (as shown below).
