Is the Intel N3000 FPGA PAC compatible with Supermicro SYS-2029GP-TR server.

Hi,

Can I know which version of N3000 PAC card you are using? 10G or 25G?

There is two Supermicro that is qualified by Intel

1. SuperServer 1019P-FHN2T
2. SuperServer 2029U-MTNRV

You may refer the link below for detail
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/products/boards_and_kits/dev-kits/altera/intel-fpga-pac-n3000/buy.html

I don’t see Supermicro SYS-2029GP-TR server in the Intel Qualified list

BUT…..

• Whenever that is not qualified, does not mean that it cannot work with VC.
• Please ensure that your server has enough airflow and power to the card
• Other than that, you might need to check the compatibility of the server based on mechanical fitting, software BIOS, is it able to support Gen3 and other etc…

For the Supermicro server power connection,

• I wish to answer that, but I afraid my answer would not be so accurate
• I do suggest you refer back to Supermicro if possible

For N3000 Led Blinking,

• Can I know which LED that you mention? Connectivity LED ? Activity LED
• The Intel FPGA PAC N3000 follows PCIe standards for 150 W add-in cards where the maximum current from the 12 V slot power source is 5.5 A (max) and the 12 V Auxilary connector is 6.25 A (max).
• Initially, I do suggest that you can try to remove the card from the slot and ensure edge connector is clean
• Last, please ensure the fan is at maximum speed
• In some case, setting server fan to maximum and having connected an AUX does not mean that you have enough cooling or power to the card.
• You may try to monitor fpgainfo bmc on “Die temperature” “12V AUX Voltage” to confirm it

N3000 Power port detail

• Please refer to datasheet page 9/31 session 2.2.5. Power,
• https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/ds/ds-pac-n3000.pdf
• Table 2. Shows detail of AUX power connector pinout table.
  
  

Let me know if this helps.
