Page 9: Hardware Requirements
Shipping Considerations Legacy Adapters: Legacy High IOPS adapters do not support shipping installed or transported inside IBM System x servers. The Legacy adapters must be packaged in the original box, electrostatic discharge (ESD) bag and packing materials. An alternate packaging equivalent intended for fragile ESD sensitive electronic devices may also be used. Configured Legacy adatpers must be removed and repackaged before shipping. - Page 10 $body Adequate System Cooling 300 LFM: To maximize the longevity and performance of IBM High IOPS Adapters, we recommend at least 300 Linear Feet per Minute (LFM) of airflow across the devices. 55°C Maximum: The ambient air temperature around the device should not exceed 55°C.

I/O's (average written block sizes), the capacity of your IBM High IOPS Adapters, and the version of the ioMemory VSL software. For more information, including a chart on RAM required per GB of IBM High IOPS Adapter capacity, consult the IBM ioMemory VSL Release Notes for the version of ioMemory VSL software that you will install with the device(s). -
Page 12: Installing The Device
: If you have 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. See the IBM ioMemory VSL Release Notes for full Upgrade Notes. - Page 13 For more information on using the PCIe slot to provide additional power, see Hardware Requirements 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.

Replace the computer's access panel. Plug in the computer's power cable and turn on the computer. 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... - Page 15 Align the LEDs on the IBM High IOPS Adapter with the holes in the half-height bracket. Insert the bracket screw holes in the same manner as the full height bracket was inserted. Refer to the example below that matches your device configuration.

Page 16: Power Cables For Second Generation Ibm High Iops Duo Adapters
Power Cables for Second Generation IBM High IOPS Duo Adapters 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 17 Second Generation IBM High IOPS Duo Adapter IBM High IOPS Adapter Hardware Installation Guide for ioMemory VSL 3.2.2 ______ _ [no notes on this page] - 17 -...
- Page 18 NOTE 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.
