xSeries 440:Option Installation Guide
• If a single 133 MHz adapter is installed in PCI-X Bus B (slot 3 and 4), and the
other slot in PCI-X Bus B is empty, the adapter will operate at 133 MHz.
• Your server supports six hot-plug 64-bit adapters in the expansion slots located on
the PCI-X board.
Note: You can add up to 12 additional PCI-X slots to your server by connecting
your server to a remote expansion enclosure. For more information about
the expansion enclosure and how to connect your server to it, refer to the
documentation that comes with your expansion enclosure.
• Your server supports 3.3 V adapters; it does not support 5.0 V adapters.
• Your server uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI-X adapters. You
can use this technique to install PCI-X adapters that currently do not support shar-
ing of PCI-X interrupts.
• The system scans PCI-X slots to assign system resources. The system attempts
to start the first device found. The search order is: CD-ROM, disk drives, inte-
grated SCSI devices, PCI-X slots (1, 2, 6, 5, 3, 4), and the integrated Ethernet
controller.
Note: You can use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to change the boot prece-
dence for your server. Select Start Options from the Configuration/Setup Util-
ity program main menu.
Installing adapters
Complete the following steps to install an adapter:
Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid
damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, see “Handling
static-sensitive devices” on page 10.
1. Review the information in “Working inside a server with power on” on page 9,
“Before you begin” on page 9, and “Safety Information” on page 11.
2. You must disable the Active PCI-X slots in your server using the operating system
before you insert or remove a hot-plug PCI or PCI-X adapter.
Note: Some operating systems do not support the enabling and disabling of a
PCI-X slot. If your operating system does not support this function, then
turn off your server, and disconnect all external cables and power cords
before proceeding.
3. Pull out on the quick release latches on each side of the server; then, pull the
server out of its rack enclosure until it stops.
4. Open the top cover.
