1.4 Accelerator Diagrams Figure 1 contains a diagram of the LED locations and port of the PCI based Accelerator. LEDs show link, activity, and speed on the end bracket. The LED on the top of the card shows that the card is being supplied with 3.3V power. The card will not operate unless this LED is lit. 3.
Figure 2 shows PCI-X based Accelerators. LEDs show link status, activity and speed on the end bracket: Figure 2: PCI-X Based Accelerators Figure 3 shows PCIe based Accelerators.
2 Hardware Installation 2.1 Hardware Installation Overview Alacritech Accelerators are designed for servers and storage systems on a Gigabit Ethernet network using TCP/IP. The system they are installed in must have the following features: • Supported operating system (see readme on CD for latest OS support) • One available bus-mastering PCI or PCI-X slot with 3.
2.2 Installing the Low Profile Bracket (PCI and PCI-X Accelerators Only) The Accelerator includes a low profile bracket to facilitate installation in a low profile slot. To install an Accelerator in a low profile PCI slot, the bracket on the rear of the card will need to be changed with the included low profile bracket. 1. Remove the two 4-40 x 3/16 screws on the bottom side of the card. 2.
2.3 Hardware Installation Note: Alacritech Accelerators use components that are sensitive to ESD. Proper ESD handling and storage should be followed. Note: 1000, 2000, 1810, 1510 Series PCI and PCI-X based Accelerators are compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit PCI 2.2 slots or PCI 2.1 slots supplied with 3.3 volt power. When a 1000 series Accelerator is installed in a slot with the proper 3.3 volt supply, the LED on the top of the card adjacent to the mounting bracket will illuminate.
