Installing an HPE InfiniBand HDR/Ethernet 940QSFP 56x16 adapter
The server supports installing two adapters in a four-processor configuration and one adapter in a two-processor configuration. Each adapter requires the installation of an auxiliary card in a supported slot.
Use the following table to determine the supported slot locations:
Processors | Adapter slot | Auxiliary card slot |
---|---|---|
2 | 6 | 13 |
4 | 2 | 9 |
4 | 11 |
For more information on expansion slot numbering, see Rear panel components.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment, remove power from the
server by removing the power cord. The front panel Power On/Standby button does not shut off system power. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server unless all PCI slots have either an expansion slot cover or an expansion board installed.
