Getting Started with Metis PCIe

This guide is for customers who have a Metis AIPU PCIe card. It links everything you need to get up and running: system compatibility, hardware and software installation, CAD files, and regulatory certifications.

System compatibility​

As a standard half-height, half-length, PCIe Gen3 4-lane card, the Metis PCIe fits a wide variety of systems.

• Integration requirements
• Tested host PCs

Installation​

Install the card following the Metis PCIe installation guide. Each host has its own procedure, so also refer to your system's user manual.

Next, install the Voyager SDK, which enables inference with Metis (drivers, evaluation tools, and APIs). Clone the Voyager SDK GitHub repository and run the install script, following the install guide. Then try the first inference walkthrough, and see the SDK documentation for an overview.
