The Memory Array communicates with the host computer via the PCIe
(Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) connection. The PCIe cable must
be connected to the PCIe port with the flashing LED. The software image on the
system dictates which interface port is used. The image names are listed in the
table below.
Where <release> indicates the release number; for example, A3.7.2-18919.
Ensure that the:
Note:
•
Bend radius of the PCIe cable is greater than 1.9".
•
PCIe cable is connected to the port with the flashing LED.
To connect the PCIe cable to the Memory Array PCIe connector:
Locate the appropriate PCIe connector port at the rear of the Memory
1.
Array. This is indicated by the flashing LED that is associated with the port.
Figure 3.5 Connecting the PCIe Cable to the Memory Array
Orient one connector of the PCIe cable so it aligns appropriately with the

PCIe connector at the rear of the Memory Array.
Securely plug the cable into the PCIe connector port on the Memory Array.
