Cable stain relief

Strain-relief on the PCIe cables are important to protect the PCIe card from fatigue loading and damages. The cable should be

mechanically connected to the rack or cabinet. This is especially important for long heavy cables and cables going between cabinets

and racks.

Supported Cables

The MXH930 supports both copper and PCIe active optical cables (AOC) available from Dolphin. Maximum lengths between two

MXH930 cards can be found in Table 1 below. The max distance may change when connecting to other PCIe products.

Copper PCIe 4.0 cable

Copper PCIe 3.0 cable

PCIe Active Optical cables (AOC)

Disconnecting the Cable

Please carefully pull the release tab to release the cable from the locking latches and gently pull the cable out of the connector

guides.

Step 7 - Installing the Dolphin eXpressWare Software

The MXH930 adapter card is compliant with Dolphin's eXpressWare software package for the MX product line. Please visit

to register and download the latest documentation and software. It is recommended to follow the quick installation guide found

on the web page above to install the software for your operating system.

TIP: Dolphin provides software and documentation for several product families; please remember to select the MX product family

before downloading. The MXH930 requires Dolphin software version DIS 5.17.0 or higher to operate.

The software download requires a password to log in. The password will automatically be emailed to you if you follow the

instructions found on the getting started document bundled with the adapter card. If you fail to provide the correct software

serial number found on the getting started document, your request will be managed manually.

Note: Please consult the eXpressWare release note for detailed information on available software functionality. Functionality

described in this manual may not currently be supported by the current version of eXpressWare. Please contact Dolphin for more

information.

Step 7 – Verify Installation & LEDs

The MXH930 comes with 4 bi-color LEDs which show the corresponding cable port status according to Table 2: LED below.

The LEDs are visible through cut-outs in the PCIe bracket on each side of the cable connector block.
