The Amulet Hotkey® CoreModule™ FX300 is a unique, single slot PCIe expansion
module for the Dell PowerEdge FX2 chassis. incorporang a
Each CoreModule FX300 contains one Intel® Programmable Acceleraon Card
(PAC) with the Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA. The Aria 10 provides data centers
with both inline and lookaside acceleraon, high-performance and outstanding
versality. The FX300 delivers superior scalability, reliability and performance.
There may be dierent ways to congure, depending on use case. As well as
explaining the basic installaon of the FX300, this guide gives setup examples of
how to use an CoreModule FX300 with an FC640 for remote access to the FGPA.
Assign two module slots to one blade (default)
Each CoreModule FX300 contains one Aria PCIe card that maps to a blade
installed in the top/boom posion in the same side at the front of the FX2s
chassis as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Four blade conguraon example
In Figure 1 the CoreModule FX300s in posions PCIe1 & PCIe2 at the rear le
hand side (LHS) connect with a blade in the boom Compute 4 posion on the
right hand side (RHS) at the front.
The second pair (PCIe3 & PCIe4) connect to the blade in the top Compute 2
posion on the same side.
The third pair (PCIe5 & PCIe6) connect to the boom Compute 3 posion on the
front LHS.
The fourth pair (PCIe7 & PCIe8) connect to Compute 1 in the top posion on the
front LHS.
Assign four module slots to one blade
If only one blade is used on half of the chassis, the space below can be empty,
contain a storage sled, or a compute sled with no PCIe expansion requirement.
In Figure 2, four CoreModule FX300s connect with a single blade in the top
Compute posion. So Compute 1 connects to PCIe5, 6, 7 & 8 on the RHS (rear).
Compute 2 connects to PCIe 1, 2, 3, 4 on the LHS (rear).

How to select the mapping for four module slots to one blade
Cauon: !
This is only possible when all sleds or blades are powered down.
1 Login to the CMC with the IP address, username and password.
2 Select PCIe Overview from the le-hand menu and click the Setup tab.
3 Make sure the Enable PCIe Slot Reassignment box is checked. See Figure 3.
Note: This selecon is automac when a storage sled is installed in the chassis
slots Compute 3 or Compute 4, reassigning the slot below to the slot above.

Prepare the blades in the FX2s chassis
1 For a new install, power down all the blades.
2 For an exisng conguraon (if applicable):
a). shut down or migrate all VMs hosted by the blades;
b). in the VMware vSphere client, locate the ESXi server in the Inventory and
put it in to Maintenance Mode;
c). power down any blades that will connect to the CoreModule FX300.
3 Remove any PCIe modules that occupy the slots where you will install the
CoreModule FX300.
Install a CoreModule FX300 module in a PCIe slot
The CoreModule FX300 module installs easily into the rear of the FX2s chassis
into one of the eight slots of the expansion bay.
Do the following steps to install each module.
Cauon: !
Always use an-stac handling procedures, such as wearing a
wrist-strap, before handling the CoreModule FX300.
1 Remove all packaging and the connector protector from the module.
2 Decide which is the correct posion to install the module(s).
Note: Make sure you install the CoreModule FX300 module in the correct PCIe
slot of the expansion bay for your conguraon. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2.

3 Press in the release tab on the top of the module lever.
4 Pull the module lever down prior to inserng into the expansion bay.
5 Align the connectors on the rear of the CoreModule FX300 module with the
expansion connector at the rear of the FX2 chassis. See Figure 4.
6 Push the module into the expansion bay so it is almost fully installed.
7 Push the card-puller lever up unl you hear a click. The module is installed.

Set up the CoreModule FX300
Cauon: !
Follow the requirements for proper thermal control of the FX400.
Sled iDRAC Minimum BIOS Minimum requirement
FC640 iDRAC9 2.5.4 4.00.00.00 (70) rmware installed
1 Install the latest approved iDRAC on all compute sleds in the FX2s chassis.
See our support website and the Tech Note for the latest approved versions.
2 To select the conguraon in Figure 1, make sure the checkbox for Enable
PCIe Slot Reassignment is deselected.
3 To select the conguraon in Figure 2, make sure the checkbox for Enable
PCIe Slot Reassignment is selected.
4 Power on the blades in the FX2s chassis.

To remove the CoreModule FX300
Cauon: !
Always use an-stac handling procedures such as wearing a
wrist-strap before handling the CoreModule FX300 module.
1 Shut down any applicaons running on the CoreModule FX300.
2 Power down the blades that map to the CoreModule FX300 module.
3 Press in the release tab on the top of the module lever.
4 Pull the lever down. This ejects the module from the connectors on the
backplane of the chassis.
5 Carefully draw out the CoreModule FX300 module and t the connector
protector that came with the unit. See Figure 7.
