Installation Instructions
1
Install the Dell X410 Host Interface Card (HIC) in an available x16 PCIe slot
in the host.
2
Connect the Dell X410 HIC port to the C410x, with the provided cables.
NOTE: For R710 systems, it is recommended that you install the optional x16 riser 2 to
accommodate the HIC card and provide optimal bandwidth.
