Introduction; Requirements; Precautions - Nvidia Clara AGX Getting Started Manual

Chapter 1

Introduction

The Getting Started Guide for the Clara AGX Developer Kit will guide you through the steps of flashing,
setting up, and starting a new Clara AGX system.

1.1 Requirements

• Clara AGX System with provided power cable
• Ubuntu 18.04 host system
• Standard USB-A to USB-C cable with data enabled
Note: Some USB-C connectors can interfere with the chassis. In this case, we suggest trimming the
base of the connector to ensure proper contact. The cable provided with the unit will work without
modification.

1.2 Precautions

• Only connect and disconnect PCIe cards (e.g. miniSAS or dGPU) when the system is powered
down.
• Apply extra care when plugging in and removing PCIe cards to avoid stress on the PCIe connec-
tors.
• The rightmost USB connector is USB 2.0 (even if the color of the port is blue). The other two
USB connectors are USB 3.0.
