Product Information

Product Name: XpressSX AGI-FH400G

Description: Full height, half length PCIe Gen5
Network Processing board

Specifications:

  • FPGA Configuration: 2700 KLE PCIe Edge Gen5 x16, CXLTM
  • Network Speed: 400GbE (8 x 56)
  • Memory: 3x DDR4
  • Connectors: 4x HSI connectors (PCIe Gen5 x16 EP)
  • Features: Security SmartNIC, Networking Acceleration

Product Usage Instructions

Step 1: Ensure that you have a PCIe Gen5
compatible server to achieve the full PCIe Gen5 x16
performances.

Step 2: If you are using a PCIe Gen4 compatible
server, use the provided PCIe Gen4 x16 daughter card. This will
allow the system to achieve 2x Gen4 x16 performances similar to
PCIe Gen5 x16. The daughter card also supports x8x8 bifurcation
mode.

Step 3: Connect the XpressSX AGI-FH400G board
to the server’s PCIe slot. Make sure it is securely inserted.

Step 4: Connect the power supply to the board.
The board is powered by the PCIe slot and an additional 8 pin PCIe
Aux ATX external connector.

Step 5: Connect any required interfaces to the
board, such as USB devices or HSI cables.

Step 6: Once the board is properly connected,
you can start using it for high-speed packet processing. The board
is equipped with FPGA configuration, memory, and network
acceleration features to facilitate your design.

Additional PCIe Gen4 x16 daughter
The XpressSX AGI-FH400G board needs to be inserted in a PCIe Gen5 compatible server in order to deliver the full PCIe Gen5 x16 performances.
In case the user is only using a PCIe Gen4 compatible server, the XpressSX AGI-FH400G is delivered with this PCIe Gen4 x16 daughter card. This way, the system will achieve 2x Gen4 x16 performances similar to PCIe Gen5 x16, using two R-Tile PCIe Hard IPs inside the FPGA.
The daughter card also supports x8x8 bifurcation mode.
