Step 11. Perform any configuration tasks that are required for the adapter.
If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to “Completing the installation” on
page 117.
Installing the N2215 SAS/SATA Host Bus Adapter for System x
User this information for instructions on how to install the N2215 SAS/SATA Host Bus Adapter.
You can purchase an optional N2215 SAS/SATA Host Bus Adapter for System x. This solid-state drive
controller provides no RAID support; however, it helps to provide optimized performance for applications
that do not need RAID support. For configuration information, see the documentation that comes with the
adapter.
Attention:
Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code updates. If the device is
part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of code is supported for the cluster solution before you
update the code.
Notes:
• You must install this adapter only in the PCIe slots in the storage book. See “Storage book” on page 24 for
the location of the connectors.
• For additional information and notes about installing the adapters “Installing an adapter” on page 83.
• Follow the general rule for connecting the SAS signal cables to the adapter and drive backplane: port 0 on
the adapter to port 0 on the drive backplane and port 1 on the adapter to port 1 on the drive backplane
(depending on the type of drive backplane you install in the server).
To install the adapter, complete the following steps:
Step 1. Before you begin, read “Safety” on page v and “Installation guidelines” on page 44.
Step 2. Turn off the server (see “Turning off the server” on page 40) and all attached peripheral devices.
Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external cables from the server.
Step 3. Remove the storage book from the server (see “Removing the storage book” on page 273).
Step 4. Open the PCIe retention lever and remove the expansion slot cover from the slot where you want to
install the adapter.
Step 5. Touch the static-protective package that contains the adapter to any unpainted surface on the
outside of the server; then, grasp the adapter by the top edge or upper corners of the adapter and
remove it from the package.
Step 6. Align the adapter so that the keys align correctly with the connector on the storage book board
Step 7. Insert the adapter into the connector, aligning the edge connector on the adapter with the
connector on the storage book board. Press the edge of the connector on the adapter
firmly
into
the connector. Make sure that the adapter snaps into the connector on the storage book board
securely.
Attention:
Make sure that the adapter is correctly seated into the connector before you turn on the
server. An incorrectly seated adapter might cause damage to the storage book board or the
adapter.
Step 8. Connect any cables to the adapter, if applicable.
Note:
Follow the general rule for connecting the SAS signal cables to the adapter and drive
backplane: port 0 on the adapter to port 0 on the drive backplane and port 1 on the adapter to port
1 on the drive backplane (depending on the type of drive backplanes you installed in the server).
Step 9. Close the PCIe retention lever.
