IBM EMX0 PCIe3, Installing

Page: 35 / 72

8.
Attach the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer location labels to the expansion drawer cable:
Note: While you are completing these steps, refer to Figure 15 as a reference.
a. Locate the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer (H) that you are connecting to the host system.
b. Locate the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer serial number label sheet (I).
c. Match the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer serial number (J) to the serial number shown on the
EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer label sheet (I).
d. Determine the location of the I/O module on the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer where you will
attach the first cable pair.
e. Locate the labels on the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer label sheet that correspond to the I/O
module location.
f. Attach the leftmost Px-T1 label to the connector end of the cable (K). See Figure 15. Wrap the label
with the blank end first so that the location information (F) is visible.
g. Take the second Px-T1 label from the expansion drawer label sheet and place it on the opposite
end of the cable greater than 100 mm (4 in) from the end of the cable (L). See Figure 15.
9. Place and route the labeled cable:
Remember: Do not connect the cable now.
a. Locate the connector end of the cable with the host system Cx-T1 label (E) and place it near the
T1 port on the PCIe3 cable adapter.
b. Route the cable and place the connector end (K) near the I/O module on the EMX0 PCIe3
expansion drawer.
10. Repeat steps 4 on page 18 - 9 for the other cable in the pair.
11.
If you need to label and route more cable pairs, repeat steps 4 on page 18 - 10.
12. Continue with step 14 on page 20.
