Installing an HFI Carrier Card for Host Fabric Interface (HFI)
Support as Needed (Available when the F Model CPU is Used)
Note: Two host fabric interface carrier card headers (JHFI1/JHFI2) are located on
the motherboard. Install an HFI card on an appropriate PCI-E slot of your choice and
F model CPU(s) on CPU socket(s) to use this feature. (For more information on the
JHFI1/JHFI2 headers, please refer to page 51.)
Installation Instructions
1. Locate CPU socket(s) on the motherboard. Install the F model CPU(s) on this socket as
shown below (marked 1. below) if you have not done so.
2. Locate the PCI-E slots. Install an Host Fabric Interface (HFI) card on an appropriate
PCI-E slot of your choice as shown below (marked 2. below).
3. Connect the HFI connector(s) (marked
C
) on the HFI cable to the onboard JHFI
header(s) as show below (marked 3. below.)
4. Connect the other end of the HFI cable to the connector (marked
A
) on the HFI card as
shown below. (marked 4. below.)
5. Connect the plug (marked 5. below) on one end of the Internal_Faceplate_to_the_
Processor (IFP) cable to the connector (marked
B
) on the HFI card as shown below.
6. Connect the other end of IFP cable (marked 6. below) to the F model CPU installed in
the CPU socket as shown below.
