  • Page 5: Chapter 1 Introduction

    INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The Cyclone Microsystems PCIe2-2712 is a PCI Express (PCIe) Gen2 Expansion System that supports the addition of up to ten PCI Express I/O cards to a single host computer. Most host computers contain few PCI Express slots making them poorly suited for building complex systems requiring many different I/O boards and co-processor resources.

    APPENDIX B Server Safety Information This document applies to Cyclone PCIe Expansion Chassis (pedestal and rack-mount) and installed peripherals. To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and equipment damage, read this document and observe all warnings and precautions in this guide before installing or maintaining your Cyclone server product.
  • Page 38 Intended Application Uses This product was evaluated as Information Technology Equipment (ITE), which may be installed in offices, schools, computer rooms, and similar commercial type locations. The suitability of this product for other product categories and environments (such as medical, industrial, residential, alarm systems, and test equipment), other than an ITE application, may require further evaluation.
  • Page 39 To avoid risk of electric shock, turn off the server and disconnect the power cord, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems attached to the server before opening it. Power Cord Warnings If an AC power cord was not provided with your product, purchase one that is approved for use in your country.
  • Page 40 CAUTION If the server has been running, any installed processor(s) and heat sink(s) may be hot. Unless you are adding or removing a hot-plug component, allow the system to cool before opening the covers. To avoid the possibility of coming into contact with hot component(s) during a hot-plug installation, be careful when removing or installing the hot-plug component(s).
  • Page 41 Other Hazards Cooling and Airflow CAUTION Carefully route cables as directed to minimize airflow blockage and cooling problems. For proper cooling and airflow, operate the system only with the chassis covers installed. Operating the system without the covers in place can damage system parts. To install the covers: 1.
