HP Cluster Platform Server and Workstation Overview

Important:
These steps must be performed when the system is off.
1. On the Quadro FX G-Sync board, locate the fourteen-pin connector labeled "primary".
Connect the ribbon cable to this card.
2. Install the Quadro FX G-Sync board in any available slot. Note that the slot itself is only
used for support. The slot must be close enough to the graphics card that the ribbon cable
can reach.
3. Connect the other end of the ribbon cable to the fourteen-pin connector on the graphics card.
4. Only the end-user customer makes external connections to this card. The G-Sync card
provides two modular connectors similar to Ethernet RJ-45 jacks. NVIDIA G-sync cards are
connected by using CAT-5 cables.
Warning!
The voltage and signal on the frame lock ports are different from Ethernet signals. Do not connect
a Frame lock port to an Ethernet card, or network hub. Doing so can cause damage to the
hardware.
