Connecting an EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer to your system
Learn how to connect an EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer to your system.
Use the following criteria to determine whether you can connect an EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer with
the system power turned on.
v If you have an 8408-44E system with firmware FW860.10 or later installed, or a 9080-MHE, 9080-MME,
9119-MHE, or 9119-MME system with firmware FW840.xx or later installed, you can connect the EMX0
PCIe3 expansion drawer to the system with the system power turned on. For instructions, see
“Connecting an EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer to your system with the system power turned on.”
Note: For instructions to view system firmware levels, see Viewing existing firmware levels
(http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER8/p8ha5/viewexistlevel.htm).
v If you do not meet the criteria for connecting an EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer with the system
power turned on, or you want to connect your EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer with the system power
turned off, see “Connecting an EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer to your system with the system power
turned off” on page 21.

Learn how to connect an EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer to your system with the system power turned
on.
Remember: Before you can connect a system to an EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer, the system must have
the required number of PCIe3 cable adapters installed and the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer must have
the wanted number of PCIe3 6-slot fanout modules installed.
v For instructions about installing a PCIe3 cable adapter or PCIe3 6-slot fanout module when the system
power is turned on, see Installing a part by using the HMC (http://www.ibm.com/support/
knowledgecenter/POWER8/p8haj/hmcinstall.htm).
v For PCIe adapter placement rules and slot priorities for your system or expansion drawer, see PCIe
adapter placement rules and slot priorities (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/
POWER8/p8hak/p8hak_pciadapters_slot_all_mtms.htm).
Important: To avoid damage to the connectors on the expansion drawer cables, do not remove the
protective covers until just before you need to plug the cable into the host system or the EMX0 PCIe3
expansion drawer.
To connect the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer to a system, complete the following steps:
Note: During steps 1 - 14 on page 20, label and route the expansion drawer cables but do not connect
them to the host system or the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer. Later in this procedure, you access the
HMC and are instructed to connect the cables and activate the link.
1. Determine the expansion drawer cable pair that can be used to connect the system to the EMX0
PCIe3 expansion drawer.
Notes:
v Each cable pair must be the same length. You can verify the cable lengths by viewing the length
labels that are on the plug ends or near the pull tabs on each cable.
v If your system and EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer are in the same rack and the system uses a
cable management bracket, use the 2-meter cables.
v
If your system and EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer are in the same rack and the system uses a
cable management arm, use the 3-meter cables.
