System Firmware Compatibility

Ensure that the V5120 Dual Host card in your blade and the user
port to which the blade connects (I9420 I/Port thin client or C7420
C/Port) contain the compatible versions of firmware. For more
information, see support.clearcube.com.

Installing the V5120 Dual Host Card

Perform the following steps to install the V5120 upgrade kit. Use a #2
Phillips head screwdriver and, optionally, a ¼–inch hex–head wrench.

1.

Remove the A1410 blade from the chassis. If the blade is not in a
chassis, ensure that you disconnect power from the blade.

2. Remove the three screws from the top cover and remove the
cover from the blade.

6. Attach the V5120 card to the mounting bracket using the two
pan–head screws included in the upgrade kit. Ensure that the
Ethernet port is facing down, as shown in the following figure.

7. Align the V5120 card and the riser card, as shown in the
following figure. Gently insert the V5120 gold fingers into the
riser card’s slot. Ensure that the cards are fully seated.

8. Insert the cards in the motherboard expansion slot.
a. Lower the connected cards into the blade, and gently

place the edge of the V5120 card between the upper and
lower rails of the support bracket.

b. Align the riser card’s gold connectors with the 16x PCI

Express® expansion slot on the mother board. Press
down firmly to seat the riser card.

Place edge of card

between rails

9. Secure the mounting bracket to the top edge of the blade using
the two SEMS screws included in the kit.

Ensure that you thread the cables under the blade frame’s
center channel after connecting the cables.

11. Replace the top cover and the I/O cover and screw the covers
into place (see step 2 and step 3 for screw hole locations).

12. Remove the backing from the V5120 configuration label included
in the kit and place it on the outside of the A1410 blade frame.

Note: If a video card configuration label is already on the blade

in the indicated location (for example, if you are replacing
or upgrading an existing V5120 or V5140 card), ensure
that you remove the old label before applying the label in
the upgrade kit. If you cannot remove the old label, place
the new label on top of the existing label.

Place configuration label on outside of

blade frame in this location

10. Connect the Ethernet cable and the four–pin signal cable to
the matching connectors on the edge of the V5120 card.

– Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the single

Ethernet connector on the rear of the blade (do not
connect the cable to the dual Ethernet connector
adjacent to the power supply).

– Connect the other end of the signal cable to the four–pin

connector on the I/O motherboard on the rear of the blade
(the letters RGH are printed above the four–pin connector).
