3 Installing the HP PCIe Workload Accelerator Hardware

To install the HP PCIe Workload Accelerator hardware in a system:

1.Power down the host system.

2.Ensure that you are ESD grounded before touching the HP PCIe Workload Accelerator drive or the host system.

3.Remove the HP PCIe Workload Accelerator drive from the ESD packaging and verify that it is not damaged. If you suspect that the board is damaged, contact your local HP representative or the HP PCIe Workload Accelerator Applications Team.

4.Remove the lid or case on the host system to expose the PCIe slots into which the drive will be inserted.

5.Check the documentation for the system or motherboard to locate an available Gen 2 x8 PCIe slot (“Introduction” (page 15)) and verify that your slot is 25W capable.
