Amulet Hotkey DXM Quick Start Manuals

QS-MHC4-0003 AMULET HOTKEY ® Quick Start Guide single-slot mezzanine form factor Remote Workstation Graphics Card for Dell 14G M-series blade servers DXM The DXM product is a range of KVM extender graphics host cards in a mezzanine slot form factor (‘mezz cards’) for Dell M-series blade servers. Dual and single-slot form factor versions of the DXM are available: ■ single-slot: only occupy a single mezzanine slot. You can install them in pairs or in tandem with a different card. Ideal for space constrained installations. ■ dual-slot: for higher power GPUs. Occupy both mezzanine slots in an M640 blade, the blade can only accommodate one of these cards. This guide tells you how to install and configure a single-slot DXM mezz card on a Dell M640 blade. See Figure 1 for an overview. All kits include a custom mounting bracket with auxiliary power cables. An interconnect PCB is only shipped with octal configurations. Prepare the blade Important! Always use anti-static handling procedures to handle a DXM card or to work on the inside of a blade. Keep liquids away from the area. 1. If the blade is not in a chassis then go to Step 4. If it is in a chassis, stop all VM activity on the blade. Shut down or migrate all VMs hosted by the blade. 2. In the VMware vSphere client, locate the ESXi server in the Inventory and put it in to Maintenance Mode. 3. Shut down the host M640 blade and remove it from the chassis. 4. Open the blade and remove any installed mezzanine cards. Remove the Dell mounting bracket 1. Remove the screw on the Dell mezzanine card mounting bracket and retain. 2. Remove the two screws from the Network Daughter Card (NDC) and retain. 3. Remove together the mounting bracket and NDC from the enclosure. 4. Discard this mounting bracket and install again the NDC with the two screws. Install the mezzanine support bracket (part A) Important! The bracket only fits one way in the blade. 1. Move the support bracket (part A) into the blade so that the locating pins on the bracket align with the two blade pin recesses. See Figure 2. Figure 1: Installation overview Install the mezzanine support bracket extension (part B) 1. Push the ends of the two arms of the mezzanine support bracket extension (part B) into the holes on part A so that it clicks into place. See Figure 4. Figure 2: Align pins with the blade pin recesses 2. Move the bracket (part A) downwards. As the pins engage with the recesses, make sure that the sprung leg engages under the NDC. See Figure 3.

Figure 4: Install the mezzanine support bracket extension (part B) Connect the power cable Important! The DXM card can install in one of two positions and requires either a short power cable for mezzanine slot A, or long for mezzanine slot B. 1. Select the correct power cable, long for mezzanine slot B, short for mezzanine slot C or a dual cable if installing two DXMs . 2. Push the connector on the power cable through the square hole in the bracket (part A) and into the socket on the motherboard. See Figure 5. Important! Make sure the alignment feature aligns with the socket. Figure 5: Connect the correct cable to the motherboard 3. Record the MAC address from the label on the DXM. 4. Hold the DXM by the PCB or connector and push the free flat connector of the power cable into the socket on the DXM. 1 Single-slot DXM mezz card. 2 Custom mounting bracket part A and part B. 3B/C Mezzanine slot B and C.  Note: Card appearance may vary. 1 B A

Install the DXM into the mezzanine support bracket Important! If you will install a second DXM for Octal configuration, see the section Octal configuration (optional) first. 1. Align the DXM for mezzanine slot B or C on the mezzanine support bracket. 2. Carefully install the DXM. Important! Do not push down on the heatsink or the power connectors. This will damage the circuitry or the connectors. See Figure 7. Figure 8: Install the mezzanine board support clip Install a second single-slot DXM card (optional) 1. If installing dual PCoIP mezzanine host cards, repeat steps in Connect the power cable, Install the DXM into the mezzanine support bracket and Install the mezzanine board support clip to install the second DXM. Octal configuration (optional) 1. Firmly attach both mezzanine cards to the interconnect PCB as you install. 2. Make sure you align the connectors on the underside of each mezz card to the corresponding connectors at each end of the interconnect PCB. Tip: Use a small-bladed screwdriver or similar to press upwards on the underside of the interconnect PCB. Important! This connection creates an intentional network loop between the interfaces on the host cards. You must use Spanning Tree (STP) to put one interface into blocking mode.
