Uart Cable Installation - Nvidia BlueField-2 User Manual

UART Cable Installation
UART console interface is located on the DPU. Connect the
desired server for UART console capabilities. For more information on the NC-SI interface, please refer to

The USB 2.0 Type A to 30pin Flat Socket cable is intended for internal system use and is sensitive to excessive pulling force and crushing forces.
Therefore, proper care must be taken during the installation procedure. The best practice is to carefully install the cable
around.

Once a cable is plugged into the UART interface, its other side must be plugged into a USB connector. Leaving the USB side unconnected might
lead to unexpected behavior of the DPU card.
1. Make sure the system is powered off.
2. Determine the correct orientation of the UART connector on the card before inserting the cable. Pay attention to the UART cable key as it should
guide you to the corresponding mating connector orientation on the board interface.
3. Carefully connect the 30 pin connector on the board to the mating cable.
4. Connect the USB cable to the desired interface master, which can be a motherboard or any desired server. Do not leave the USB side unattended.
