Replacing the Remote Supervisor Adapter
The server comes with a non-hot-plug Remote Supervisor Adapter in a dedicated slot
to the right of PCI-X slot number 1 (as viewed from the front).
Complete the following steps to replace the Remote Supervisor Adapter:
Note: It is recommended that after you initially configure the adapter you create a
backup copy of it so that if you need to replace the adapter in the future, you
can restore the configuration and resume normal operation more quickly.
1. Review the safety precautions beginning on page 53, and “Handling static-
sensitive devices” on page 52.
2. Turn off the server, disconnect all power cords and external cables, and remove
the top cover (see “Removing the server top cover and bezel” on page 66).
3. Using the illustrations in “Working with adapters” on page 67 and “Installing a hot-
plug PCI or PCI-X adapter” on page 68 as references for the rest of this
procedure, unplug the cable from the connector (J5) on the upper-rear corner of
the Remote Supervisor Adapter.
4. Slide the Remote Supervisor Adapter-retention tab toward the rear of the server
and lift the adapter-retention latch.
Attention: When you handle Electrostatic Discharge-Sensitive devices (ESD),
take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling
these devices, see “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 52.
5. Lift the adapter out of the slot.
6. Touch the static-protective package that contains the replacement adapter to any
unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the adapter from the
package.
7. Press the replacement adapter firmly into the slot.
Attention: When you install an adapter in the server, be sure that it is completely
and correctly seated in the system-board slot. Incomplete insertion might cause
damage to the system board or the adapter.
8. Reconnect the cable to the connector (J5) on the rear edge of the adapter.
9. Close the adapter-retention latch. The adapter-retention tab snaps into place.
10. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to
“Completing the installation” on page 86.
Note: For information about using the Remote Supervisor Adapter, see the
Remote Supervisor Adapter User’s Guide on the xSeries 360
Documentation CD.
Installing a ServeRAID adapter
You can install an optional IBM ServeRAID adapter in any PCI-X slot in the server to
enable using internal and external hot-swap hard disk drives as disk arrays. The
server supports a variety of ServeRAID adapters for both internal and external
configurations. For the most current list of supported RAID adapters, go to
http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat on the World Wide Web.
