Installing Fan-out Cables and Connector Boxes on SPEED4 LE HD and SPEED8 LE HD Cards
SPEED4 LE HD and SPEED8 LE HD cards have a single VHDCI-68 connector on the back panel. It provides the signals for 4 or 8 serial ports.
A fan-out cable or connector box with the proper individual connectors can be plugged into the card to provide the desired interface. The port numbers will be identified on the interface connectors or connector box.
Note
The SPEED LE fan-out cables and connector box cable need to be secured or supported in case of sudden contact or excessive weight on the cables. Please ensure that adequate caution is taken to avoid possible damage to the SPEED LE card or Host system. This can be accomplished by securing the cable(s) to a rack or to the back of the server as shown below:
