Installing AIO-3691 Modules

Install one or more AIO-3691 modules to enable high-speed serial connectivity between each FPGA and the ATCA-3671.

Determine how many modules you are installing and choose the appropriate number of empty slot(s) in the ATCA-3671. If hardware is present in the slot(s) you choose, remove the installed ATCA I/O module(s), riser card(s), and additional components from the slot(s).

Ensure you have the following components for each AIO-3691 module:
  • Female-to-female standoffs (x2)
  • M2.5x8 screws (x2)
  • M2.5x6 screws (x4)
Complete the following steps to install one to four AIO-3691 modules, depending on your chosen hardware configuration.
  1. Install two female-to-female standoffs in the ATCA-3671 module with two M2.5x8 screws installed from the underside of the ATCA-3671 module as shown in the following figure.
