Cabling example for the ServeRAID adapter

You can install an optional IBM ServeRAID® adapter in your 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 integrated SCSI controller on the system
board, and connect the cable to a ServeRAID adapter. Refer to your ServeRAID
adapter option documentation for complete instructions on installing a ServeRAID
adapter in your 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 following illustrations show the cabling for internal hot-
swap hard disk drives. You can also cable a ServeRAID adapter to external hard disk
drives.

b. Lift the tab on the top of the expansion-slot cover; then, remove the
expansion-slot cover from the server. Store it in a safe place for future use.
c. Press on the rear of the adapter retention assembly 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 package.
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. Incomplete
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.
