Cabling Example For The Serveraid Adapter - IBM 6000R - Netfinity - 8682 Hardware Maintenance Manual

c. Press on the rear of the adapter retention assem-
bly and lift the adapter retention cover.
Attention: Expansion-slot covers must be
installed on all empty slots. This maintains the
electromagnetic emissions characteristics of the
system and ensures proper cooling of system
components.
5. Refer to the documentation that comes with your
adapter for any cabling instructions. It might be easier
for you to route any cables before you install the
adapter.
6. Remove the adapter from the static-protective pack-
age.
Attention: Avoid touching the components and gold-
edge connectors on the adapter.
7. Place the adapter, component-side up, on a flat, static-
protective surface.
8. Install the adapter:
a. Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or
upper corners, and align it with the expansion slot
on the system board.
b. Press the adapter firmly into the expansion slot.
Attention: When you install an adapter in the
server, be sure that it is completely and correctly
seated in the system-board connector. Incom-
plete insertion might cause damage to the system
board or the adapter.
c. Lower the tab over the top corner of the adapter.
Rotate the adapter retention latch clockwise until it
snaps into place.
9. Connect any needed cables to the adapter.
10. Enable the PCI slot from your operating system. (Refer
to the documentation that comes with your operating
system for information about enabling a hot-plug PCI
slot.) Make sure that the power-on light for the hot-plug
PCI slot comes on.
11. If you have other options to install or remove, do so
now; otherwise, go to "Installing the server top cover
and bezel" on page 91.
Cabling example for the ServeRAID
adapter
You can install an optional IBM ServeRAID® adapter in the
server to control the internal hot-swap hard-disk drives; that
is, to enable you to configure the internal hot-swap hard disk
drives into disk arrays. To do this, you must turn off the
server, disconnect the internal SCSI cable from the inte-
grated SCSI controller on the system board, and connect the
cable to a ServeRAID adapter. Refer to the ServeRAID
adapter option documentation for complete instructions on
installing a ServeRAID adapter in the server. Refer to the
Using IBM ServeRAID book on the Documentation CD for
information on ServeRAID adapters and controllers.
The following procedure describes the cable routing that is
necessary when you install a ServeRAID adapter. The fol-
lowing illustrations show the cabling for internal hot-swap
