the system.
3 Site preparation
For information on the environmental and power requirements, see
PCIE-6001 Installation and Use manual.
Operating temperatures refer to the temperature of the air circulating
around the blade and not to the actual component temperature.
4 Install M2 AHCI or NVMe
SSD modules on card
1. Install M2.5 screw and standoff in the PCB hole location
based on the length of the M.2 module.
2. Install the M.2 module.
3. Install the M.2 shoulder screw. Torque should not exceed 0.1Nm.
For information, refer to the PCIE-6001 Installation and Use manual.
5 Install PCIE-6001 card
1. Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and
disconnect the system from the electrical outlet and
peripheral.
2. Remove the system cover.
3. Insert the PCIE-6001 card into the selected PCIe slot and ensure
the card is properly fitted in the PCIe slot, and then secure the
card using a panel screw.
Note 1: For more information about installing a PCIe card in a
MaxCore Platform, refer to MaxCore™ MC3000 Platform Installation
and Use manual or for installing in non-SMART EC systems, refer to
respective manufacturer’s installation and use manuals.
Note 2:In case the system may be exposed to temperatures above
room temperature while operated, to optimize the airflow to the
PCIE-6001 card it is recommended to install slot filler cards. These
filler cards need to be installed in any empty PCIe slot to the right
(next higher slot number) of a PCIE-6001 card.
4. Close the system cover.
6 Powering the rack
Push the power button on the system's IO Panel or use the system's
