Verifying compatibility between network adapters and device drivers
Your server supports several types of network adapters. If you are having trouble
with the installation or operation of a network adapter or network operating system,
ensure that the network-adapter device driver supports multiple processors. Refer
to your network-adapter documentation for additional information about adapter
compatibility requirements.
Installing and cabling a ServeRAID adapter (optional)
You can install an optional ServeRAID adapter in your server to enable you to
configure the internal hot-swap hard disk drives into disk arrays. To do this, you
must disconnect the cable from the integrated SCSI controller on the I/O function
card, and connect the cable to a ServeRAID adapter. To cable a ServeRAID
adapter to the internal hard disk drives in your server, or to make this adapter a
startup device, you must install the ServeRAID adapter in PCI slot 10, 11, or 12.
Refer to your ServeRAID adapter option documentation for complete instructions on
installing a ServeRAID adapter in your server.
The following procedure describes the cable routing that is necessary when you
install the ServeRAID adapter. Refer to the following illustration while you perform
the steps in this procedure.
Note: It might be easier for you to route the cable before you install the adapter.
