Lenovo 6241, Installation And Service Manual

Page: 105 / 1990

Attention: Do not install the optional NVIDIA Grid K1 and K2, the NVIDIA Tesla K20 and K40, and the NVIDIA
Quadro K4000 and K6000 adapters in systems containing 1TB of system memory or more. If these options
are installed in systems with 1TB of memory or more, it might cause undetected data corruption and system
instability. These options are only supported in systems containing less than 1TB of memory. This limitation
applies to both the 4-socket (4U) and the 8-socket (8U) configurations.
Step 1. Before you begin, read “Safety” on page v and the “Installation guidelines” on page 44.
Step 2. Turn off the server (see “Turning off the server” on page 40) and all attached peripheral devices.
Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external cables from the server.
Step 3. Follow the cabling instructions, if any come with the adapter. Route the adapter cables before you
install the adapter.
Step 4. Remove the I/O book in which the failed adapter is installed. Follow the removal instructions as
documented for the I/O book.
Step 5. Open the PCIe retention lever and remove the expansion slot cover from the slot in which you want
to install the adapter.
Step 6. Make sure that the PCIe retention lever is in the open position.
Step 7. Touch the static-protective package that contains the adapter to any unpainted surface on the
outside of the server; then, grasp the adapter by the top edge or upper corners of the adapter and
remove it from the package.
Step 8. Align the adapter so that the keys align correctly with the connector on the board
Step 9. Insert the adapter into the connector, aligning the edge connector on the adapter with the
connector on the I/O book board. Press the edge of the connector on the adapter firmly into the
connector. Make sure that the adapter snaps into the connector on the I/O book board securely.
Attention: Make sure that the adapter is correctly seated into the connector before you turn on the
server. An incorrectly seated adapter might cause damage to the I/O book board or the adapter.
Step 10. Close the PCIe retention lever.
Step 11. Connect any cables to the adapter, if applicable.
Note: Follow the general rule for connecting the SAS signal cables to the adapter and drive
backplane: port 0 on the adapter to port 0 on the drive backplane and port 1 on the adapter to port
1 on the drive backplane (depending on the type of drive backplanes you installed in the server).
Step 12. Perform any configuration tasks that are required for the adapter.
If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now.
