v You can install standard full-length adapters, with the adapter guides removed
from the adapters, in slots 3 and 4.
v You can install only a half-length adapter in slot 5.
v A ServeRAID-5i adapter can be installed only in PCI slot 2. The low-profile 2-U
bracket that comes with the controller is required to install the controller.
v The optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter can be installed only in PCI slot 5.
Use the ribbon cable that comes with the adapter to connect the adapter to the
system management connector on the PCI riser card.
v Your server supports 5.0 V and universal PCI adapters on the 32-bit PCI slot 5;
your server supports only 3.3 V and universal PCI adapters in the 64-bit
PCI/PCI-X slot 3 and 4.
v The PCI bus configuration is:
– Non-hot-plug, 64-bit PCI-X slots 1 and 2 (PCI bus A, 100 MHz)
– Non-hot-plug, 64-bit PCI-X slots 3 and 4 (PCI bus B, 133 MHz)
– Non-hot-plug, 32-bit PCI slot 5 (PCI bus C, 33 MHz)
v The server scans PCI and PCI-X slots 1 through 5 to assign system resources.
Then, the server starts (boots) the system devices in the following order, if you
have not changed the default boot precedence: integrated Ethernet controller,
integrated SCSI controller, and then PCI and PCI-X slots 5, 3, 4, 1, and 2.
Notes:
1. If a ServeRAID-5i adapter is installed, it takes control of the integrated SCSI
controller with RAID capabilities and operates at 66 MHz. A ServeRAID-5i
adapter can be installed only in slot 2.
2. To have SCSI capabilities if you remove the ServeRAID-5i adapter or other
RAID adapter, start the Configuration/Setup Utility program, and select
Devices and I/O Ports from the main menu to enable the SCSI controller
with RAID capabilities. See "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on
page 11 for details about using the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
3. To change the startup (boot) precedence for PCI and PCI-X devices, start the
Configuration/Setup Utility program, and select Start Options from the main
menu. See "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 11 for
details about using the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
