Hardware Installation
Installation of the NVIDIA Skyway gateway requires attention to the mechanical and power elements of the appliance and precautions must be taken for
the rack-mounted equipment.
The system platform can be rack-mounted and is designed for installation in a standard 19" rack. The power side of the system includes a hot-swap power
supply unit (PSU), space for an optional second PSU (purchased separately) for redundancy, and replaceable fan trays. There is one possible airflow
direction. It is necessary to validate that the system airflow direction is compatible with the system, rack, and PSUs. The rear panel of the system has the
QSFP28 ports, system LEDs, and management connection ports.
Use a rack capable of supporting the mechanical and environmental characteristics of a fully-populated platform.
The rack mounting holes conform to the EIA-310 standard for 19-inch racks. Take precautions to guarantee proper ventilation in order to
maintain good airflow at ambient temperature.

Page 5: System Requirements
Unpacking the Package Safety Precautions The NVIDIA Skyway appliance is installed in systems that operate with voltages that can be lethal. Before opening the case of the system, observe the following precautions to avoid injury and prevent damage to system components. -
Page 6: Installing The Server In A Rack
The NVIDIA Skyway appliance can be mounted in a rack using the optional rack mounting kit. We strongly recommend that the minimum depth of cabinet is 1100mm. Installing the Server in a Rack Before mounting the NVIDIA Skyway appliance in a rack, ensure that all internal components have been installed and that the unit has been fully tested. - Page 7 Step 3: Mount the cabinet member to the posts. Align the positioning pin to the desired complete U location, and pull the bracket forwards to lock it to the post. The bracket is locked to the post after a “click” sound is heard. Step 4: Release the locking latch upward.
- Page 8 Step 6: Install the chassis. As shown, insert the inner member to the cabinet member. Make sure the ball retainer is in the open position. If the ball retainer is not on the front position, it might cause damage to the slides. After the inner member goes in, push up/down the disconnect lever to unlock the slides and keep pushing the chassis to the fully-closed position.
