Steps in this topic require you to have connector information for the hardware in your configuration.
For details about PCIe storage enclosure or system connector locations, see “Connector locations” on
page 115.
About this task
To add a PCIe storage enclosure to the system with the system powered on, complete the following steps:
1. Record the current date and time for use later in the procedure when checking for serviceable
events.
2. Verify the existing PCIe hardware topology by completing the steps in Verifying the PCIe hardware
topology (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/hw/topic/p7ham/
p7ham_pcistor_conntopverify.htm). All PCIe hardware topology problems that are discovered in this
step must be corrected before continuing with this procedure.
Important: If the PCIe storage enclosure is connected to two systems, complete this step for each
system.
3. If the system has a rear cover, remove or open it.
Important: If the PCIe storage enclosure is connected to two systems, complete this step for each
system.
4. Locate the PCIe GX++ adapter or adapters to which the PCIe storage enclosure will be connected.
Note: This procedure assumes that the PCIe GX++ adapters are already installed. If the adapters are
not installed, stop now and follow the instructions that came with the adapters to install them. After
the PCIe GX++ adapters are installed, continue with the steps in this procedure to connect the PCI
storage enclosure.
5.
Using PCIe cables, connect the PCIe storage enclosure to the GX adapters that were identified in step
4.
Note: If you are connecting a PCIe cable to an unused PCIe connector that is covered with a plastic
or metal clip, remove the clip before installing the PCIe cable.
6. Identify the PCIe link information that is associated with the connections to the PCIe storage
enclosure by completing the following steps.
Note: Two PCIe links connect a PCIe storage enclosure.
Important:
If the PCIe storage enclosure is connected to two systems, complete this step for each
system. Each system will host one of the PCIe links that connect the PCIe storage enclosure.
a. Determine the location codes of the PCIe connectors on the system to which you connected the
PCIe storage enclosure.
b. Choose one of the following options:

If your system is managed by a Hardware Management Console (HMC), complete the
following steps:
1) From the navigation bar, expand Systems Management .
2) Click Servers .
3) Select the server you are working with.
4)
In the Tasks area, expand
Hardware Information
.
5) Click PCIe Hardware Topology .
v
If your system is not managed by an HMC, complete the following steps:
1) Access the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI) by using an authority level of
administrator or authorized service provider. For details about using the ASMI, see
