1 Introduction This guide describes how to install Alacritech Accelerators in servers with PCI-X or PCI Express (PCIe) architecture. 1.1 Description Alacritech Scalable Network Accelerators (SNAs) are single-port or multi-port network interface cards (NICs) that employ Alacritech’s Dynamic TCP Offload technology, which uses an innovative application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for protocol processing.

2 Hardware Installation 2.1 Hardware Installation Overview Alacritech Accelerators are designed for servers and storage systems on a Gigabit or 10 Gigabit Ethernet network using TCP/IP. The system they are installed in must have the following features: • Supported operating system (see Section 1.4). • One available PCI-X or PCIe slot that matches the bus type of the Accelerator to be installed (see Section 1.3). The PCI-X slot must supply the necessary 3.3 or 5.0V, as specified in Section 1.3.1).
2.2 Installing the Low Profile Bracket (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-X 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.
2.3.2 PCI-X For PCI-X, use a 64-bit, 66/100/133MHz PCI-X slot to maximize system performance. Figure 1: Typical 3.3V keyed 64-bit PCI or PCI-X bus slot shows a typical 64-bit PCI or PCI-X slot, however, the documentation for your system should be consulted to verify available PCI slots. Some PCI slots have fasteners, which must be secured in order for the accelerator to function correctly. Figure 1: Typical 3.3V keyed 64-bit PCI or PCI-X bus slot 2.3.
The SEN3001EF does not support 10GBASE-SRM, 10GBASE-LRM, or direct attach copper cabling.
