Installing
an
adapter
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
Locate
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
adapter
and
follow
those
instructions
in
addition
to
the
instructions
in
this
section.
If
you
must
change
the
switch
or
jumper
settings
on
the
adapter,
follow
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
adapter.
v
Avoid
touching
the
components
and
gold-edge
connectors
on
the
adapter.
v
PCI
slot
6
supports
half-length
5.0
V
PCI
adapters
only.
v
PCI
slot
1
supports
half-length
3.3
V
PCI
adapters
only.
v
PCI
slots
2
through
5
support
full-length
3.3
V
signaling
adapters
only.
v
The
PCI
configuration:
–
Slot
1
is
a
PCI-Express
x8
slot
with
x4
links,
PCI
Express
1.0a
compliant.
–
Slot
2
and
3
are
PCI-Express
x8
slots
with
x8
links,
PCI
Express
1.0a
compliant.
is
the
default
slot
for
the
optional
ServeRAID-10is
controller
or
the
ServeRAID-8s
controller.
–
Slots
4
and
5
are
PCI-X
133/64
slots,
PCI-X
2.0
compliant.
–
Slot
6
is
a
PCI
33/32
slot,
PCI
2.2
compliant.
Note:
The
ServeRAID-8k,
ServeRAID-8s,
and
the
optional
ServeRAID-10is
SAS
controllers
override
the
standard
functionality
of
the
integrated
SAS/SATA
controller
with
RAID
capabilities.
v
The
system
scans
PCI
slots
1
through
6
to
assign
system
resources.
The
system
then
starts
(boots)
the
system
devices
in
the
following
order,
if
you
have
not
changed
the
default
boot
precedence:
integrated
Ethernet
controller,
ServeRAID-8k
SAS
controller,
and
then
PCI,
PCI-X,
and
PCI-Express
slots.
Note:
To
change
the
boot
precedence
for
PCI
and
PCI-X
devices,
start
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
and
select
Start
Options
from
the
main
menu.
See
the
User’s
Guide
on
the
IBM
System
x
Documentation
CD
for
details
about
using
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program.
v
The
server
uses
a
rotational
interrupt
technique
to
configure
PCI
adapters
so
that
you
can
install
PCI
adapters
that
do
not
support
sharing
of
PCI
interrupts.
v
In
models
with
12
hard
disk
drives,
a
ServeRAID-8s
controller
must
be
installed
in
PCI
slot
2
and
a
ServeRAID-8k
controller
in
the
ServeRAID
connector
on
the
system
board.
To
install
an
adapter,
complete
the
following
steps:
1.
Read
the
safety
information
that
begins
on
page
vii
and
“Installation
guidelines”
on
page
7.
2.
Turn
off
the
server
and
peripheral
devices,
and
disconnect
the
power
cords
and
all
external
cables.
Remove
the
left-side
cover.
