3 Site preparation
Note: Consult the installation manual provided by your server
vendor for instruction on how to install the card in a specific server.
1. Make sure that all environmental and power requirements
defined in the PCIE-8130 Installation and Use manual are
met.
2. The PCIE-8130 card requires a PCIe x4 connector size. It can
also be installed in a x8 or x16 slot.
3. The PCIE-8130 can be installed in a system board PCIe slot or
on a PCIe riser card.
4. Make sure the server can accommodate the full-height, half-
length PCIE-8130 card and that it provides snap-in fixation or
screw holes.
5. Verify that the I/O slot can supply power via the 12V supply rail in
accordance with the PCI Express Card Electromechanical
Specification definition for a 75W slot.
4 Install PCIe cards
Note: Consult the installation manual provided by your server
vendor for instructions on how to power down and remove the
housing cover from the system.
1. Shut down and disconnect the system from AC power.
2. Remove the housing cover from the server.
3. Remove the filler cards or filler panels in the PCIe slots, if any.
4. Install the PCIE-8130 card(s) in the respective slot(s) by gently
pushing the card along the guide rails till the card is fully
engaged with the connector. Avoid excessive force during this
operation.
Note: If a retainer clip is used in the target server to secure the
card, the clip must be applied for proper operation of the card.
5. Fill any empty PCIe slots with filler cards or filler panels. A slot
adjacent to the component side (primary side) of a high power
card should always contain a filler card for better cooling.
