you must re-enable the on-board SCSI controller in using the
Configuration/Setup Utility program (see “Starting the Configuration/Setup Utility
program” on page 15).
Complete the following steps to install a non-hot-plug PCI or PCI-X adapter:
1. Review the information in “Installation guidelines” on page 45, “Handling
static-sensitive devices” on page 46, and “Safety information” on page 169.
2. Turn off the server and disconnect all power cords and external cables
(“Turning off the server” on page 9); then, remove the server cover (see
“Removing the server left-side cover and bezel (tower model)” on page 55 or
“Removing the server top cover and bezel (rack configuration)” on page 57).
3. Determine which expansion slot you will use for the adapter.
4. If you are installing an adapter in PCI slot 1 or PCI-X slots 2 through 4, lift the
tab on the expansion-slot cover. Continue with the next step.
If you are installing an adapter in PCI-X slot 5 or 6, slide the
adapter-retention-latch release toward the rear of the server and hold it there
while you lift the adapter-retention latch to the unlocked (open) position, as
shown in the illustration at “Installing a hot-plug adapter (slots 5 and 6)” on
page 62.
Attention: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all empty slots. This
maintains the electronic emissions characteristics of the system and ensures
proper cooling of system components.
5. Remove the expansion-slot cover from the server. Store it in a safe place for
future use.
6. If you are installing an IXA adapter in slot 5 and 6, make sure that the IXA
adapter jumper (J42) is installed between pins 2 and 3; otherwise, make sure it
is installed between pins 1 and 2. (See “System-board switches and jumpers”
on page 51 for the location of J42.)
7. If you are installing a full-length adapter, lift the adapter-retention clip on the
adapter-support bracket. Otherwise, continue with the next step.
8. See the documentation that comes with your adapter for any cabling
instructions. It might be easier for you to route cables before you install the
adapter.
Attention: Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the
adapter.
9. Remove the adapter from the static-protective package.
10. Install the adapter:
a. If you are installing a full-length adapter, remove the blue adapter guide (if
any) from the end of the adapter.
