About this task
Remember: Before you can connect a system to an EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer, your system must
have the required number of PCIe3 cable adapters installed and the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer must
have the wanted number of PCIe3 6-slot fanout modules installed.
• For instructions to install a PCIe3 cable adapter when you do not have an HMC, see PCIe
adapters (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER9/p9hak/pciadapters.htm).
• For instructions to install a PCIe3 6-slot fanout module when you do not have an HMC, see Installing
the PCIe3 6-slot fanout module in the PCIe Gen3 I/O expansion drawer (http://www.ibm.com/support/
knowledgecenter/POWER9/p9egv/p9egv_emx0_kickoff_install.htm).
• For instructions to install a PCIe3 cable adapter or PCIe3 6-slot fanout module when your system is
managed by an HMC, see Installing a part by using the HMC (http://www.ibm.com/support/
knowledgecenter/POWER9/p9haj/hmcinstall.htm).
