Corvid Ultra Processor Frame Installation
Optionally
Reversing the Rack
Ears
The unit can be installed so the connectors face the front of the rack, by reversing the
rack ears on each side of the frame (
).
Figure 9. Reversing the Frame’s Rack Ears
Rack Installation
If the frame is installed immediately above other equipment in a rack, the rubber feet on
the bottom of the frame may need to be removed for clearance.
Cooling
Internal air flow is directed by fans through the signal processing frame. From the front
(LED indicator side) of the frame, the air flow direction is from right to left (
Figure 10
).
Figure 10. Cooling Airflow Direction
Do not obstruct the side vents, and allow sufficient space within the equipment rack for
airflow to and from the sides of the frame.
HIB Installation and
Cabling
Caution! Use anti-static practices whenever handling circuit board components, to
prevent possible damage from static discharge.
1. With the PC powered off, and using anti-static practices, open the chassis of the host
PC and install the Corvid Ultra HIB into a Gen 2 x 8 lane slot, or better.
2. With both the host PC and the Corvid Ultra frame powered off, connect the PCIe
cable between the two units.
