"System board internal cable connectors" on page 61 for the location of the
SCSI channel A connector.
Note: If you want to install more than one optional SCSI 5.25-inch device,
install an optional SCSI adapter to control the device.
b. Connect a power cable to the back of the drive. Power cables for non-hot-
swap drives come installed in your server. They are bundled together in the
area behind the CD-ROM drive. The connectors are keyed and can be inserted
only one way.
c. Continue with step 12.
11. To install an IDE device, such as a CD-ROM drive or a DVD-ROM drive, use the
two-drop IDE cable that comes with the option:
a. Remove the cable connecting the CD-ROM drive to the IDE connector on the
system board.
b. Using the two-drop cable that came with your IDE option, connect the CD-
ROM drive and the IDE device to the IDE connector on the system board.
c. Set the jumper on the back of the new IDE device to slave.
12. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to
"Installing the server cover and bezel" on page 92.
Adding memory to your server is an easy way to make programs run faster. You can
increase the amount of memory in your server by installing options called memory-
module kits. Each kit contains one industry-standard, dual-inline memory module
(DIMM). Your server uses a noninterleaved memory configuration.
Notes:
1. Your server comes with a dual inline memory module (DIMM) installed in DIMM
connector 1(J23). Install additional DIMMs as instructed in the documentation
that comes with your option.
2. Your Netfinity 4500R server supports 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB DIMMs.
Your server supports a minimum of 128MB and a maximum of 4GB of system
memory. Refer to the ServerProven™ list on the World Wide Web at
http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat for information about memory modules for
use with your server.
3. Installing or removing DIMMs changes the configuration information in the
server. Therefore, after installing or removing a DIMM, you must save the new
configuration information in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. When
you restart the server, the system displays a message indicating that the memory
configuration has changed. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and
select Save Settings. See for more information.
