For Oracle Database Appliance X5-2, you have the option of ordering two Sun Dual 10GbE
SFP+ PCIe 2.0 Low Profile Adapters to replace the two standard InfiniBand adapters (one
in each server node) to support an Ethernet fiber connection to the data center or public
network (it cannot be used for the appliance private node-to-node connection).
To replace the standard InfiniBand adapter, refer to the Service Manual for instructions on
replacing a PCIe card in Slot 1. After the card is replaced, refer to the Getting Started Guide
for instructions on cabling and software configuration.

Safety Precautions When Rackmounting

This section describes safety precautions you must follow when installing the server into a rack.
Caution -
Deploy the anti-tilt bar or legs on the equipment rack before beginning an installation. 2)
Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that the rack will not become top-
heavy and tip over. 3) Mount equipment in the rack such that it does not create uneven or
dangerous mechanical loading. 4) Do not use slide-rail mounted equipment as a shelf or
workspace.
For Oracle Database Appliance X6-2L with the default configuration of six NVMe
drives, you have the option of ordering three additional 2.5-inch 3.2 TB NVMe SSDs
for slots NVMe2, NVMe5 and NVMe8. Drives must be installed as a set of three. Drive
slots NVMe9, NVMe10 and NVMe11 are not supported for use with this product.
For Oracle Database Appliance X6-2-HA with a half-populated base configuration
storage shelf (filler panels in slots 10-19), you can upgrade it to a fully populated storage
shelf by adding ten 1.6 TB SAS SSDs to fill the empty drive slots (10-19). Drives must
be installed as a set of ten.
For Oracle Database Appliance X3-2/X4-2/X5-2/X6-2-HA that have a single fully
populated storage shelf, you can add one optional storage expansion shelf.
If you have a Oracle Database Appliance X6-2-HA with a base configuration
Note -
(half populated) storage shelf, you cannot add a storage expansion shelf (which comes
fully populated) unless you first upgrade your storage shelf to be fully populated. The
only supported appliance storage shelf configurations are: appliance with a single half-
populated storage shelf (Oracle Database Appliance X6-2-HA only), appliance with
a single fully populated storage shelf, or appliance with two fully populated storage
shelves.
Personal injury or equipment damage. Prevent the rack from tipping over. 1)
