Introduction
Power Sequence
It is recommended that the following power sequence be followed when using the C410x with a host
server.
1. For a single host server connected to a C410x:
a. Power up the C410x.
b. Wait for the Green power LEDs on the individual PCI cages to light.
c. Power up the host server.
2. For multiple host servers connected to a C410x:
a. Power up the PCI cage associated with the iPass port connected to the C410x.
NOTE: The PCI cage power can be applied by pressing the cage power button or using
IPMITool commands identified in the “Using the C410x Base Board Management Controller”
document.
b. Wait for the Green power LEDs on the cage to light.
c. Power up the host server.
d. Repeat for each host server connected to the C410x.
Supported GPGPU Configurations
The C410x supports installing different GPGPU and other devices in the chassis.
Mixing different GPGPUs connected to the same host server is not supported. All GPGPUs connected to a
host server must be the same type.
Mixing other devices with GPGPUs connected to the same host server is supported.
GPGPU Support Limitation
There are some host servers that have multiple PCIex16 expansion slots. This allows multiple Host
Interface Cards (HIC) to be installed in a single host server. The flexibility of the C410x system allows 16
GPGPUs to be connected to a single host server with multiple PCIex16 expansion slots. Host servers that
are based on x86 architecture have a 16 bit (total 64 K) IO address space hardware limit. The 16 bit IO
address space hardware limit limits the number of PCI devices that can be connected to the host server.
The host server does not boot or other POST errors occur if the IO address space limit is exceeded. The
number of onboard host server PCI devices utilize a fixed amount of IO address space. The remaining IO
address space is used to determine the number of GPGPU that can be installed in a C410x that is
connected to the single host server. Each GPGPU requires 4K of IO address space. The number of
onboard PCI devices plus the number of GPGPUs determine the amount of IO address space used.
Therefore, the 16 bit IO address space limitation does not allow a single host server to support 16
GPGPUs installed in a C410x.

Introduction |
InfiniBand (IB) Support Limitation
Host servers will not support more than one IB card installed in a C410x.
If more than one IB card is installed in a C410x and connected to a single host server issues may be
observed.

Static / Dynamic IP Switch Function Instruction
To switch from DHCP to static or vice versa:
Hold down the ID button for 5 seconds
While pressing the ID button, press and hold the power button for 5 seconds
Release the power button, and then the ID button
It will take ~30 seconds to change the configuration
The ID light will indicate which mode has been selected:
- Solid for 5 seconds indicates static IP
- Flashing for 5 seconds indicates DHCP
If the default IP address is changed, switching DHCP to static IP will change the IP address back to the
default.
Default IP address is 192.168.0.120

Removing and Installing Hardware
Safety Measures
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform
troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the
online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not
covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
CAUTION: Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by discharges of
static electricity. Working on computers that are still connected to a power supply can be extremely
dangerous. Follow the simple guidelines below to avoid damage to your computer or injury to yourself.
•Always disconnect the computer from the power outlet whenever you are working inside the
computer case.
•If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside the computer case.
Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching the bare metal system of the
computer case, or the bare metal body of any other grounded appliance.
•Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the components on the board
unless it is necessary to do so. Do not flex or stress the circuit board.
•Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging until you are ready to use the
component for the installation.
