Cable connections
Picture 2: iPass connector on IXH610
The IXH610 requires a x8 iPass™ or PCI Express standard cable. A single x8 cable is used to connect to other
devices including transparent I/O devices, another PC with an IXH610 or IXH620 card, or an IXS600 8 port
switch.
To install they cable, match the male portion on the x8 cable with
the female connector on the IXH610 board. Use even pressure to
insert the connector until it is secure. Adhere to ESD guidelines
when installing the cable ensure not to damage the board. The
IXH610 supports both copper and active fiber cables.
The Dolphin Express IXH610 adapter card is compliant with
Dolphins extensive software package for the IXH adapter card and
the IDT Demo software. Please visit
http://www.dolphinics.com/support to download the latest
documentation and software. Dolphin provides software and
documentation for several product families; please remember to
select the IX product family before downloading.

Overview
This document describes the new Dolphin PCI Express IX interconnect family and the IXH610 PCI Express
Gen2 adapter card. The card is based on the PES24NT6G2 PCI Express Gen2 chipset from IDT. The IX product
family consists of the following products:
IXH610 PCI Express Gen2 x8 Host adapter card
IXH611 PCI Express Gen2 x8 Host and Target adapter card
IXH620 XMC PCI Express Gen2 Host and Target adapter card
IXS600 8 port PCI Express Gen3 rack mount switch
IXE60X PCI Express expansion products (contact Dolphin for details)
Information on the cabling infrastructure is available at
http://www.dolphinics.com/products/IX_PCI_Express_cables.html
The IXH610 adapter can be used to connect to any of the above products or to any compliant existing PCI
Express downstream device having a standard PCI Express x8 connector (PCI Express Gen 1 or Gen2, auto
detect).
All Dolphin PCI Express IXH adapters support the complete suite of Dolphin NTB Software including Dolphin
SuperSockets™, optimized TCP/IP drivers, and SISCI Embedded software. It is also compliant with the PXImc
software specification.
Dolphin SuperSockets is a Berkeley compliant Sockets library which provides socket latency below 2
microseconds and close to the wire speed streaming bandwidth for networked applications. SuperSockets™ is
currently available on Linux and Windows. It is a 100% transparent plug and play solutions for commercial and
embedded applications. More on SuperSockets can be found at http://www.dolphinics.com/products/dolphin-
supersockets.html
Dolphin’s optimized TCP/IP driver enables PCI Express to be used as a traditional 10G Ethernet / 40G Ethernet
replacement for e.g. NFS sharing and legacy networking that does not need the low latency provided by
SuperSockets. The TCP/IP driver supports gateway functionality.
The SISCI software provides well defined, easy to use shared memory programming API for PCI Express over
cable. More on SISCI can be found at http://www.dolphinics.com/products/embedded-sisci-developers-kit.html

Installation
Static electricity from your clothes or work environment can damage your PCI Express adapter card or your PC.
Always wear a grounded antistatic wrist strap while opening the PC and when the IXH610 is removed from the
anti- static bag.
Changing the PCI Express bracket
The IXH610 package includes a standard and low profile PCI Express bracket. By default, the standard height
bracket is installed on the board, If you need to replace the mounted bracket with a low profile bracket, carefully
unscrew the two mounting screws to remove the full height bracket. Save the two mounting screws and replace
the bracket with the low profile bracket. Use the two mounting screws to install the low profile bracket. The
screws should be carefully tightened. Be careful not to over-tighten.
Installing the adapter card
Before installing the adapter card, make sure you are properly grounded to avoid static discharges that may
destroy your computer or the adapter card. Ensure you are properly grounded before opening your computer or
the anti-static bag containing the IXH610.Please follow your computers manual on how to install a PCI Express
card.
The IXH610 Adapter card can be installed into any PCI Express x8 or x16 slot. The IXH610 supports both PCI
Express Gen2 and Gen1 signaling. NOTE: A Gen2 slot is recommended as it typically double the performance
compared to a Gen1 slot. The IXH610 is a x8 card so no additional performance can be obtained using a x16
slot. The IXH610 can be installed in a PCI Express Gen3 slot but will operate at Gen2 speed.
The IXH610 supports both hosts using spread spectrum and constant frequency clocking. The card implements
clock isolation and will provide a high quality CREFCLK signal on the cable. Refer to the DIP switch settings for
configuration information.
Installing and removing the cable
The IXH610 supports PCI Express x8 Gen2 cables. Installing and removing cables should be done with both
upstream and downstream device powered off. The Dolphin SuperSockets, TCP/IP drivers and SISCI fully
supports hot plugging (Note: installation and removal) of cables while the system is running). Standard PCI
Express cables are not designed for a high number of installation and removals; the gold applied to the
connector head may wear out and cause loss of communication. Please contact your Dolphin if you intend to
continuously connect and disconnect the PCI Express cables.
Connecting the cable
Please carefully install the PCI Express cable connector into the connector housing on the IXH610 adapter card
or IXS600 Switch box. Computer cables should always use stain relief to protect the connected equipment from
excessive force via the cable. This is especially important for cables between racks.
Disconnecting the cable
Please carefully pull back the thumb tab to release the cable from the connector house and pull back the cable.
EEPROM Programming
Dolphin may from time to time publish updated firmware. Current firmware is normally included in the Dolphin
software distribution and published on www.dolphinics.com/support. Please consult the software documentation
for information on firmware upgrades or Dolphin support if assistance is required.

Software installation
More information on installing Dolphins SuperSockets, SISCI or TCP/IP driver software can be found at
http://www.dolphinics.com/support/installation-ix.html
Identifying the card
The card has a label-sticker with the serial number in the format ‘IXHXXX-YY-ZZZZZZ’, where XXX denotes the
card-type (e.g. 610), YY denotes the card revision (e.g. DE) and ZZZZZZ denotes the serialized production
number (e.g. 012345) – this whole string makes up the serial number of the card (i.e. IXH610-DE-012345).
With the DIS software installed and loaded, you can get this serial number with the ixdiag command;
The top of this output will show information about the card;
Adapter 0 > Type : IXH610
NodeId : 4
Serial number : IXH610-DE-001352
IXH chipId : 0x8091111d
IXH chip revision : 0x00000002 (ZC)
EEPROM version NTB mode : 0024
EEPROM version transp mode : 0009
EEPROM swmode[3:0] : 1100
EEPROM images : 0001
Card revision : DE
Here you will see both the whole serial-number string, as well as the decoded card-type and card-revision
identifiers. The ‘EEPROM version NTB mode’ may be of interest – this shows the firmware-version of the card.
You can also get this information without ixdiag (for instance when the drivers are not loaded or the card is in
transparent mode), using lspci in Linux;
First run lspci, and identify the card. It will show up as something like
02:00.0 PCI bridge: Integrated Device Technology, Inc. Device 8091 (rev 02)
02:00.1 Bridge: Integrated Device Technology, Inc. Device 8091 (rev 02)
02:00.2 System peripheral: Integrated Device Technology, Inc. Device 8091 (rev 02)
Second, do an lspci –vvvv –s <device> , and look for the ‘Serial’ –string
# lspci -s 02:00.0 -vvv | grep Serial
Capabilities: [180 v1] Device Serial Number 00-00-44-45-00-00-05-48
This shows the card as revision 0x4445 (hexadecimal values of the ‘DE’ letters in the ASCII table), with the
production number 0x00000548 (001352 in decimal).
