Installation and Support
Hardware Installation
Bracket Conversion
Adapters are shipped from the factory with full height brackets installed. A low-profile
bracket is included in the package. If your server has a low-profile chassis, you will need
to convert the bracket before installation.
1.
SR0001 adapters only. Swing the SFP+ release handle(s) 90 degrees and gently
pull to release the transceiver(s) from the adapter.
2.
Remove the two bracket screws, located on the primary side of the adapter.
3.
Remove the full height bracket and replace it with the low profile bracket.
4.
Replace the two bracket screws taking care not to over tighten. The
recommended torque is 4.5 lb·in (0.5 N·M).
5.
SR0001 adapters only. With gold contact fingers oriented toward the adapter,
gently reinsert the SFP+ module until it clicks.
Adapter Installation
1.
Power down the system and unplug the power cord.
2.
Remove the cover and insert the adapter into an available PCIe slot. Ensure it is
firmly seated and secured before replacing the cover.
3.
Connect the network cable:
Twinax Copper applications (Direct Attach)
a.
Ensure that the cable termination is oriented with gold contact fingers
toward the adapter prior to insertion.
b.
Insert the cable termination into the SFP+ port until it clicks. The EMI
gasket of the cable should be in contact with the adapter bracket.
c.
To remove the cable, unlatch the cable termination as per the cable
supplier's recommendation. Do not apply excessive force to the cable
termination or adapter during the removal.
Optical applications (SR, LR)
a.
Remove the fiber optic module plug and cable connector cap. Save
them for when the cable is unplugged.
b.
Insert the fiber optic cable into the port on the network adapter.
c.
Duplex connectors are keyed for proper orientation. If the cable
connector is not duplex, ensure that the connectors are oriented
properly so that the transmit port connects to the receive port of the
link partner and vice versa.
4.
Reconnect the power cord and power up the system.
