Page 13: Installing The Device
Attention! Upgrade Previous Devices First If you have Legacy IBM High IOPS Adapters configured for ioMemory VSL 2.x or earlier that you wish to use with ioMemory VSL software version 3.x, you must upgrade the firmware on the previously installed devices before installing new devices in the system. - Page 14 Installing Power Cables on page 18 for instructions and to see if the power cable is required for your device. 7. Grasp the IBM High IOPS Adapter by the top edge and seat it gently but firmly in the available PCIe slot, for example: Attention! This illustration is an example of one type of IBM High IOPS Adapter, your specific device will install in the same manner.
- Page 15 10. Plug in the computer's power cable and turn on the computer. 11. Your operating system may detect the IBM High IOPS Adapter and ask if you want it to install a hardware driver for the device. In that case, click Cancel.

Page 18: Installing Power Cables
Installing Power Cables Some IBM High IOPS Adapters are compliant with the PCIe 2.0 bus specification of 25W and do not require external power in compliant PCIe slots. Other devices require more than the 25W to function. Second Generation IBM High IOPS Duo Adapters do require additional power through the provided power cable. - Page 19 IBM High IOPS Duo Adapters: IBM High IOPS Hardware Installation Guide for ioMemory VSL 3.2.6...
- Page 20 Attention! There are two power cables supplied with the IBM High IOPS Duo Adapters, a 2x3 pin supporting one Duo and a 2x4 pin supporting three Duos. These power cables mate directly to the corresponding aux power connectors available in most IBM servers.
