Chapter 2. Installing options
This chapter provides basic information that is needed to install hardware options in
your server. For more detailed installation information, see the User’s Reference on
the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.
Removing the cover
Use the following procedure to remove the cover.
1. Review the safety precautions beginning on page v.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and
power cords.
3. Remove the two screws on the rear of the server.
4. Pull the cover-release lever back.
5. Slide the cover off the server.
Note: You might need to remove the clear plastic shield to reach some parts in the
server. For proper cooling and airflow, replace the clear plastic shield before
replacing the cover.
Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, replace the cover before turning on the
server. Operating the server for extended periods of time (over 30 minutes) with the
cover removed might damage server components.
Working with adapters
Your server comes with two peripheral component interconnect (PCI) adapter slots on
the system board with riser cards installed in them.
Attention: Your server comes with an integrated video controller on the system
board. When you install a video adapter in a PCI slot, the server BIOS automatically
disables the integrated video controller. This enables the video adapter in the PCI slot
to control the video functions for your monitor.
