- Slot 6, PCI 32-bit/33 MHz
– If you install the optional one-slot PCI extender card in the server:
-
One additional PCI Express Gen 1 x8 (x4) slot is available
– If you install the optional two-slot PCI extender card in the server:
- Two additional PCI-X 32-bit/64-bit 133/100/66 MHz slots are available
v You can install full-length adapters that are included in the ServerProven
slots 2, 3, 4, and 5 on the system board, and the slots on the one-slot or two-slot
extender cards. You can only install half-length adapters in slots 1 and 6.
v The 32-bit slot 6 supports 5.0 V keyed PCI adapters; they do not support 3.3 V
keyed adapters. Universal adapters are supported in slots 4 and 5 if they are
universally keyed.
v You can install the IBM ServeRAID-BR10i SAS/SATA controller, the optional IBM
ServeRAID-MR10i SAS/SATA controller, or the optional IBM ServeRAID-MR10is
VAULT SAS/SATA controller in slots 1 of hot-swap SAS or hot-swap SATA
models. These ServeRAID adapters are not supported on the simple-swap
models.
v The ServeRAID-BR10i adapter comes standard on hot-swap SAS and hot-swap
SATA models and provides RAID levels 0, 1, and 1E support. You can order the
ServeRAID-MR10i adapter which provides RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60
support, and the optional ServeRAID-MR10is adapter with an encryption 1078
DE chip provides RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 support.
To ensure that any of your ServeRAID 10i, 10is, or 10M adapters function
properly on UEFI-based servers, make sure that the adapter firmware level is
updated to at least 11.x.x-XXX , and the supporting drivers.
Attention:
Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated
code updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level
of code is supported for the cluster solution before you update the code.
v The server scans PCI Express slot 1, PCI-X slots 4 and 5, and PCI-Express slots
2 and 3 to assign system resources. Then, the server starts the devices in the
following order, if you have not changed the default startup sequence: PCI
Express slot 1, PCI-X slots 4 and 5, PCI Express slot 2, PCI slot 6, and PCI
Express slot 3.
v For a list of supported options for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/
eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.
To install an adapter, complete the following steps:
Note: The instructions in this section apply to any PCI adapter (for example, video
graphics adapters or network adapters).
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and "Installation guidelines"
on page 32.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables
and power cords; then, remove the left-side cover (see "Removing the left-side
cover" on page 36).
3. Carefully lay the server on its side so that it is lying flat and facing up.
Note: Be careful and do not drop the server.
4. Follow the cabling instructions that come with the adapter to set jumpers or
switches, if there are any. Route the adapter cables before you install the
adapter.
5. Rotate the rear adapter-retention bracket to the open (unlocked) position.
