Chapter 2. Installing options
This chapter provides the basic information needed to install hardware options in
your server. This section is for all users, but is written with the experienced user in
mind. If you need more detailed installation information, see the User’s Reference on
the IBM Netfinity Documentation CD.
Working inside a server with power on
Your server supports hot plug, hot add, and hot swap devices and is designed to
operate safely while turned on with the cover removed. Follow these guidelines when
you work inside a server that is turned on:
• Avoid loose-fitting clothing on your forearms. Button long-sleeved shirts before
working inside the server; do not wear cufflinks while you are working inside
the server.
• Do not allow your necktie or scarf to hang inside the server.
• Remove jewelry, such as bracelets, necklaces, rings, and loose-fitting wrist
watches.
• Remove items from your shirt pocket (such as pens or pencils) that could fall
into the server as you lean over it.
• Take care to avoid dropping any metallic objects, such as paper clips, hair pins,
or screws, into the server.
Installing adapters
This section describes how to install hot-plug PCI adapters. Before you continue with
the adapter-installation procedure, review the following:
• Slots 1 and 2 support 3.3 V and universal non-hot-plug PCI adapters only.
• Slots 3–6 support 5.0V and universal PCI adapters.
Note: Universal PCI adapters support both 3.3V and 5.0V operation.
• The system scans PCI slots 1 through 6 to assign system resources; then, the
system starts (boots) the PCI devices in the following order: processor and I/O
board devices, slots 1 and 2, and then slots 3 through 6.
• You can install hot-plug PCI adapters in PCI slots 3-6. You can also install non-
hot-plug PCI adapters in these slots.
