Tabletop Use

Make sure to provide all adequate and necessary ventilation (at least 10 cm or 4 inches) at the front (cooling air intake) and the rear (cooling air exhaust) of the unit.

Rack Mount

The OP5020XG can be installed directly in a 19'' rack.
Normally, the rack mount brackets and handles are assembled to the chassis.

Hardware List

The hardware for the rack mount brackets and handles are provided in a plastic bag.

Assembling the Brackets and Handles

Follow these simple steps to install the brackets and the handles.

  • Remove the two (2) top front screws.

    • Put the screws away, they will be replaced with longer ones.

  • Assemble each rack mount bracket using 4 screws.

    • Do not use the screws you removed in the previous steps, they are too short.

  1. Connect the power cord to the unit and to the appropriate power source (outlet).

  2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the leftmost bottom network port

  3. OPTIONAL: Connect one end of a PCIe cable to the PCIe Host adapter. The other end is connected to another unit, most likely an FPGA processor and I/O expansion unit.

  4. Turn on the main power switch in the back.

Make sure that all cables are properly connected before powering up.

Make sure that the main power switch at the rear of the unit is easily accessible for emergency shutdown.
