Card Retention, Shipping, and the PCIe Specification
The PCIe specification requires that add-in cards with a mass of greater than 350 grams must have additional card
retention at the server level. Neither the connector nor the optional hockey stick feature described in the PCIe
specification provides the required retention.
Server OEMs and ODMs are solely responsible for choosing and qualifying their own server and rack shipping
solution. Seagate does not qualify the server and rack shipping solution and is not responsible for such solution or any
impact to Seagate products.
Seagate will make available mechanical design collateral for its products, which may be used by server OEMs and
ODMs to design retention features for their server products. Seagate information is provided AS IS only and Seagate
does not certify any design retention features used by OEMs and ODMs.
Seagate does not perform server and rack shock and vibration testing of OEM and ODM products. OEMs and ODMs
are solely responsible for any server and rack shock and vibration testing.
