Note: Some IBM Netfinity servers support Hot-plug PCI features, which allow
you to install or remove PCI controllers without turning off the server. If
your Netfinity model provides Hot-plug PCI support and you are using
Windows NT, Windows 2000, or NetWare 5.x, you do not need to turn
off your server to install this controller. This operation is referred to as a
hot-add operation. Review the following information before performing
this operation on a ServeRAID-4H and your server:
v
Information that is provided with your server to determine if your
model supports these features.
v
Documentation that is provided with your operating system for using
these features.
v
Refer to “Using a ServeRAID controller in a server with Hot-plug PCI
features” on page 17.
v
If you intend to perform a hot-add operation using Windows NT 4.0,
use the documentation that is provided with the IBM Netfinity Hot
Plug for Windows NT 4.0 package.
2. If your server model does not support Hot-plug PCI, turn off the server and
disconnect all power cords and cables from the server.
3. Remove the server cover and locate an empty PCI expansion slot for the
controller. Choose a slot that is farthest from other installed components, such
as the microprocessor. If necessary, see your server documentation for more
detailed information about the expansion slots.
Note: For Netfinity 3000 servers, the ServeRAID controllers are supported
only when installed in PCI slot 3. Do not install these controllers in PCI
slots 1 or 2. Before you can install a ServeRAID controller in a Netfinity
3000, you must first remove the standard SCSI controller that comes in
PCI slot 3. You can install and use the standard SCSI controller in PCI
slots 1 or 2, but devices attached to the standard SCSI controller will no
longer provide startup (boot) support.
4. Remove the expansion-slot cover, if applicable.
5. Touch the static-protective package containing the controller to an unpainted
metal expansion-slot cover on the server. This drains any static electricity from
the package and from your body.
6. Remove the controller from the static-protective package, holding the controller
by the edges. Do not touch any exposed components on the controller.
7. Insert the controller in the PCI expansion slot. Press the controller firmly into
the slot so that it is fully seated.
