Hardware Setup for Multiple Hosts
Port bifurcation allows more host connections to Falcon GPU Chassis. A x16 host port that have been
bifurcated would be divided into two (x8) or four (x4) ports, each given a sub host port number. Please follow
the connection guide for the system to recognize the host machines correctly.
Please play attention to the direction which the HBA is installed in the following diagrams. If your HBA is installed in a
different direction, make sure the right connectors are used.
The guide is demonstrated with host port 1:H1. Also applicable to 2:H1 or 1:H2 and 2:H2 host mode.
Mixing the cabling order may cause system error.
