Replacing An Adapter - IBM x3100 M5 Type 5457 Installation And Service Manual

Replacing an adapter

Use this information to replace an adapter
Attention: When installing the Intel x520 Dual Port 10GbE SFP+ adapter (option
part number is 49Y7960), the maximum number that can be installed in the server
is two.
For the locations of the expansion slots and connectors, please see "System-board
internal connectors" on page 30.
To install a replacement adapter on 4U server models with non-hot-swap power
supplies, complete the following steps. For the 5U server model with hot-swap
power supplies, please see the next sub-section.
1. Read the safety information in "Safety" on page vii and "Installation
guidelines" on page 35.
2. Check the instructions that come with the adapter for any requirements,
restrictions, or cabling instructions. It might be easier to route cables before
you install the adapter.
3. Follow the instructions that come with the adapter to set jumpers or switches,
if any.
4. Touch the static-protective package that contains the adapter to any unpainted
metal surface on the server. Then, remove the adapter from the
static-protective package. Avoid touching the components and gold-edge
connectors on the adapter.
5. Follow the cabling instructions, if any, that come with the adapter. Route the
adapter cables before you install the adapter.
6. Follow the instructions that come with the adapter to set jumpers or switches,
if any.
7. Remove the expansion-slot cover by unscrewing the screw that secures it to
the chassis. Store the expansion-slot cover and screw in a safe place for future
use.
Note: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots. This
maintains the electronic emissions standards of the server and ensures proper
ventilation of server components.
8. Carefully grasp the adapter by the top edge or upper corners, and align it
with the expansion slot guides; then, press the adapter firmly into the
expansion slot.
Attention: Make sure that the adapter is correctly seated in the expansion
slot before you turn on the server. Incomplete installation of an adapter might
damage the system board or the adapter.
