13. Route the signal cables from the drive backplane over the blue adapter
retention bracket as shown in the following illustration.
SAS/SATA RAID
riser-card
Connector for
drive bays 4 - 5
signal cable
Connector for
drive bays 0 - 3
signal cable
ServeRAID-MR10i
adapter
14. Take the signal cable that is attached to the drive backplane for drive bays 0
through 3 and connect it to the SAS/SATA RAID adapter connector that is
closest to the power-supply cage. Connect the other signal cable so that it is
attached to the drive backplane for drive bays 4 and 5 and connect it to the
other connector on the adapter.
Note: When you restart the server, you are prompted to import the existing
RAID configuration to the new ServeRAID adapter.
If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to
“Completing the installation” on page 85.
Installing a second microprocessor and heat sink
The following notes describe the type of microprocessor that the server supports
and other information that you must consider when you install a microprocessor and
heat sink:
v The server supports up to two Intel Xeon dual-core or quad-core
microprocessors. See http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/
us/ for a list of supported microprocessors.
v
Do not mix dual-core and quad-core microprocessors in the same server.
v The upgrade of microprocessors are not supported on this server. For example, if
the server came with a 2.0 GHz microprocessor, you cannot upgrade the
microprocessor to a 2.3 GHz microprocessor, it is not supported.
v
The first microprocessor must always be installed in microprocessor socket 1 on
the system board.
v
When one microprocessor is installed, a heat sink filler is not required for
microprocessor socket 2, however, the microprocessor 2 air baffle and the DIMM
air baffle must be installed to provide proper system cooling.
v Do not remove the first microprocessor from the system board when you install
the second microprocessor.
v
When you install the second microprocessor, you must also install additional
memory. See “Installing a memory module” on page 52 for details about the
installation sequence.
