2: Connecting the Adapter to a Network Procedure 2 Procedure 3 (Most Complex) 1. Remove one or two adjacent DIMMs. 2. Remove the chassis-mounted bracket latch of the adapter. The bracket latch is the small assembly attached at the top of the slot with two screws. Note: This procedure is required for the PCIE-10G-C-RDMA version (part number 030-2313-001) of the adapter. 1. Remove one or two adjacent DIMMs. 2. Remove the short PCIe riser assembly from the chassis (one screw). 3. Position the card on the chassis sheet metal slot so that the lower bracket lip will be inserted into its chassis lock. 4. Position the riser to couple with the adapter. 5. Position the entire assembly to couple with the motherboard. Driver Specification Needed for SGI Altix 450 and SGI Altix 4700 Platforms Connecting to a Network On SGI Altix 450 and SGI Altix 4700 platforms, you must ensure that the file /etc/modprobe.conf.local contains an entry like the following: options cxgb3 msi=0 This section describes how you connect the adapter to a network in the following sections: • “Connecting with a Fiber-Optic Cable” on page 11 • “Connecting with a Copper Cable” on page 12 10 007-5476-001
Connecting with a Fiber-Optic Cable Connecting to a Network To connect your adapter to a network with a fiber-optic cable, do the following: 1. Remove the protective end caps and save them. Caution: 10-Gigabit optics are sensitive. If you plan to leave them disconnected for any significant length of time, you must replace the end caps. The optics on the adapter cannot be cleaned. 2. Insert the LC connector on one end of the fiber-optic cable into the adapter, as shown in Figure 2-1. Ensure that the connector is inserted completely into the jack. 3. Insert the connector on the other end of the fiber-optic cable into the connector on the Ethernet switch or on another computer system (as appropriate). Note: If your network connects to an Ethernet switch, consult the operating manual for the switch to ensure that the switch port is enabled and configured correctly. 007-5476-001 11
