Installing a PCI adapter
The following illustration shows the PCI adapter expansion slots from the rear of the
server.
Maximal card dimension supported in each slot (rear view)
1 Full height , up to full length 4 Full height , up to full length
2 Full height, half length 5 Full height , up to full length
3 Full height, half length 6 Full height, half length
(Riser 1) (Riser 2)
Note: If you are installing a ServeRAID-M5110, ServeRAID-M5120, or an IBM
LLM-SM dual port 10GbE SFP+ adapter, it can only be installed in PCI slot 1, 2, 4,
or 5.
The following notes describe the types of adapters that the server supports and
other information that you must consider when you install an adapter:
v
To confirm that the server supports the adapter that you are installing, see
http://www.ibm.com/systems/info/x86servers/serverproven/compat/us/.
v Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those
instructions in addition to the instructions in this section.
v
The server provides two internal SAS connectors and two SAS/SATA RAID
riser-card slots on the system board. See “System-board optional device
connectors” on page 38 for the location of the internal SAS/SATA RAID connector
and SAS/SATA RAID riser-card slots. You can install an optional IBM ServeRAID
SAS/SATA adapter in the slot. For configuration information, see the ServeRAID
documentation at http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/,
v
Some high performance video adapters are supported by your server. See
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/ for more
information.
v Do not set the maximum digital video adapter resolution above 1600 x 1200 at
75 Hz for an LCD monitor. This is the highest resolution that is supported for any
add-on video adapter that you install in the server.
v
Do not install memory modules more than 128 GB when Quadro 600 is installed.
v Any high-definition video-out connector or stereo connector on any add-on video
adapter is not supported
v
The server does not support full-length, full-height PCI adapters or legacy 5V PCI
adapters.
v
When you install any PCI adapter, the power cords must be disconnected from
the power source before you remove the PCI Express riser-card assembly and
the PCI-X riser-card assembly. Otherwise, the active power management event
signal will be disabled by the system-board logic, and the Wake on LAN feature
might not work. However, after the server is powered-on locally, the active power
manager active power management event signal will be enabled by the
system-board logic.
The following illustration shows the adapter connectors on the PCI riser-card
assembly.
