Alacritech Scalable Networking Accelerator Hardware Installation Guide (Copper) 2-3
2.3 Hardware Installation
Note: Alacritech Accelerators use components that are sensitive to ESD.
Proper ESD handling and storage should be followed.
Note: 1000, 2000, 1810, 1510 Series PCI and PCI-X based Accelerators are
compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit PCI 2.2 slots or PCI 2.1 slots sup-
plied with 3.3 volt power. When a 1000 series Accelerator is in-
stalled in a slot with the proper 3.3 volt supply, the LED on the top
of the card adjacent to the mounting bracket will illuminate.
Turn off and unplug the computer. Failure to do so could endanger you,
and may damage the accelerator or computer.
Remove the computer cover, and install the Accelerator in any available
bus-mastering PCI or PCI-X slot. Use a 64-bit, 66 MHz PCI slot or 64-bit,
66/100/133MHz PCI-X slot to maximize system performance. Figure 4
shows a typical 64-bit, PCI or PCI-X slot, however, the documentation
for your system and motherboard should be consulted to verify available
PCI slots. Some PCI slots have fasteners, which must be secured in or-
der for the accelerator to function correctly.
Replace the computer cover, turn on and boot the computer.
