Installing the Adaptor - 1.1 English

The following procedure is a guide for the Varium™ C1100 compute adaptor installation. Consult your computer documentation for additional information.

If you encounter any issues during installation, see Troubleshooting.

1. Shut down the host computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Open your computer by removing the casing.
3. If necessary, remove the adjacent PCIe® slot cover corresponding to the PCIe slot in which you are installing the Varium C1100 compute adaptor.
4. Plug the Varium C1100 compute adaptor into the PCIe x16 slot on the motherboard.
5. Connect the AUX power connector to the Varium C1100 compute adaptor, ensure the plug is mechanically fixed (with the click).
   Important: Operation of the Varium C1100 compute adaptor only with AUX power connector is not allowed.
   Important : Le fonctionnement des adaptateurs Varium uniquement avec le connecteur auxiliaire n'est pas autorisé.
   Wichtig: Der Betrieb von Varium-Adaptern mit dem Hilfsstecker ist nicht zulässig.

   To provide additional power, the Varium C1100 compute adaptor has an 8-pin female PCIe AUX power connector which can accept an 8-pin or 6-pin AUX power cable. For applications requiring optimum performance, the PCIe AUX power needs to be connected to increase the power supplied to the adaptor from 75W from the PCIe to 150W. Consult your computer documentation for additional information.

6. Re-install the computer casing.
7. Connect the power cord and turn on the computer.
   Warning: Do not power-on a passively cooled card without adequate forced airflow across the card with proper air flow direction, otherwise the card can be damaged. This card can heat up after use in the server. Use caution when handling. For more information, see Varium C1100 Compute Adaptor Data Sheet (DS1003).
8. To verify that the device has been installed correctly, enter the following command in the terminal:

   $ sudo lspci -vd 10ee:

   If the adaptor is successfully installed and found by the operating system, a message similar to the one below will be displayed.
