Installing an adapter
The following notes describe the types of adapters that the server supports and
other information that you must consider when installing 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 need to change
the switch setting or jumper settings on the adapter, follow the instructions that
come with the adapter.
v
Read the documentation that comes with the operating system.
v The server comes with two PCI Express slots and two PCI slots.
v
You can install full-length adapters in PCI slots 3 and 4.
v You can install only 32-bit/33 MHz adapters in the 32-bit PCI slots 3 and 4.
v
The 32-bit PCI slots 3 and 4 support 5.0 V signaling PCI adapters; they do not
support 3.3 V keyed adapters. However, 64-bit adapters are supported if they are
universal adapters.
v
The slot 1, PCI Express x8 and slot 2, PCI Express x1 support any PCI Express
adapter that is on the ServerProven list.
v The server scans the PCI Express x8 slot (slot 1), PCI Express x1 slot (slot 2),
and PCI slots 3 and 4 to assign system resources. Then, the server starts the
PCI and PCI Express devices in the following order, if you have not changed the
default startup sequence: PCI Express x8, PCI Express x1, system-board
integrated drive electronics (IDE) or SCSI devices, and then PCI slots 3 and 4.
v
For a list of supported options for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/support/.
To install an adapter, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Installation guidelines”
on page 7.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables
and power cords; then, remove the side cover. See “Removing the side cover”
on page 9.
3. Follow the instructions that come with the adapter for requirements,
restrictions, or cabling instructions. It might be easier to route any cables
before you install the adapter.
4. Remove the screw from the expansion-slot; then, remove the expansion-slot
cover. From the rear of the server, press on the slot cover. Grasp it and pull it
out of the expansion slot. Store it in a safe place for future use.
Note: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots. This
maintains the electronic emissions standards of the server and ensures
proper ventilation of server components.
5. Touch the static-protective package that contains the adapter to any unpainted
metal surface on the server. Then, remove the adapter from the
static-protective package. Avoid touching the components and gold-edge
connectors on the adapter.
6. Follow the instructions that come with the adapter to set jumpers or switches, if
any.
Attention: Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the
adapter.
7. Carefully grasp the adapter by the top edge or upper corners, and align it with
the expansion-slot guides; then, press the adapter firmly into the expansion
slot. Move the adapter directly from the static-protective package to the
expansion slot.
