IBM 9009-41A Manual page 26

In the image, the inner cable management arm tab is shown on the left side as you are facing
the system from the rear. However, the cable management arm can also be installed so that
the inner cable management arm tab is on the right side of the system.
i) Physically verify that the slot you identified is where you want to install the adapter.
• Use the blue identify LED on the enclosure to locate the system. Ensure that the serial number
of the system matches the serial number to be serviced.
• Look for a flashing amber LED, which identifies the unoccupied slot that was selected by using
the identify function.
j) Select the Toggle LED blink off/on option to stop the LED from flashing.
k) Continue with step "12" on page 13.
11. To prepare the system to install a PCIe adapter by using the Linux operating system, complete the
following steps:
a) Log in to the system console as the root user.
b) Run the following command to list the available slots:
lsslot -c pci -a
The following screen is an example of the information that is displayed by this command:
# Slot
U7879.001.DQD014E-P1-C1 PCI-X capable, 64 bit, 133MHz slot Empty
U7879.001.DQD014E-P1-C4 PCI-X capable, 64 bit, 133MHz slot Empty
U7879.001.DQD014E-P1-C5 PCI-X capable, 64 bit, 133MHz slot Empty
c) Record the empty PCIe slot where you want to install the adapter.
d) Complete the following steps to prepare the slot to accept a PCIe adapter:
1) Type the following command:
drmgr -c pci -r -s locationcode
Where locationcode is the location of the PCIe slot. For example, the location might be
U7879.001.DQD014E-P1-C3.
2) Press Enter. A fast-flashing amber LED at the rear of the system near the adapter indicates that
the slot is identified.
3) Physically verify that the slot you identified is where you want to install the adapter.
Notes:
• Use the blue identify LED on the enclosure to locate the system. Ensure that the serial
number of the system matches the serial number to be serviced.
• Look for the flashing amber LED, which identifies the slot that was selected by using the
identify function.
e) If necessary to view the identify LEDs or to manage cables at the rear of a rack-mounted system,
open the cable management arm by completing the following steps:
1) Release the mounting bracket from the cable management arm assembly by pressing the
indentation (A) on the inner cable management arm tab. The cable management arm releases
from the outer mounting bracket in the direction shown.
12 Power Systems: PCIe adapters for the 9009-41A, 9009-42A, or 9223-42H
CAUTION: To avoid causing damage to the arm, open the cable management arm just
long enough to complete these repairs.
