The following procedure is a guide for the AMD VCK5000 card installation. Consult your computer documentation for additional information.
If you encounter any issues during installation, see Troubleshooting.
- Shut down the host computer and unplug the power cord.
- For enclosed computers, open your computer by removing the casing.
- If necessary, remove the two adjacent PCIe® slot covers corresponding to the PCIe x16 slot.
- Plug the VCK5000 card in the PCIe x16 slot on the motherboard.
- Connect the 6-pin and 8-pin AUX power cables. Note: Both 6-pin and 8-pin AUX PCIe power connectors must be connected for full card functionality.
The VCK5000 card has a 6-pin receptacle and a 8-pin receptacle PCIe AUX power connectors. Depending on your system, additional PCIe auxiliary power cables or adapters may be needed. Consult your host documentation for additional information.
- In active card configuration, connect the host power supply AUX cables to the cables coming from the card.
- In passive card configuration, connect the host power supply AUX cables directly to the card.
Important: Operation of the VCK5000 card only with AUX power connectors is not allowed.Figure 1. Connecting the PCIe AUX Power Cables to an Actively Cooled Card
Figure 2. Connecting the PCIe AUX Power Cables to a Passively Cooled Card
Warning: VCK5000 cards are not compatible with an ATX12V/EPS12V power source. Do not force connection to a CPU (ATX12V/EPS12V) power source. Do not insert or use a 4-pin ATX cable on a 6-pin/8-pin PCIe connector on the VCK5000 card. This will damage the VCK5000 card and void the warranty.Some power supplies label the cables PCIe auxiliary power or VGA. These connector configurations are not pin compatible with other power source types. Do not force a connection to any power source other than PCIe auxiliary power.
- If you previously removed the computer casing, re-install the casing.
- Connect the power cord and turn on the computer. Note: Do not power-on a passively cooled card without adequate forced airflow across the card with proper airflow direction, otherwise the card can be damaged.
- To verify that the device has been installed correctly, enter the following
Linux command in the
terminal:
$ sudo lspci -vd 10ee:If the card is successfully installed and found by the operating system, a message similar to the one below will be displayed.
