Installing an IBM MAX5
Use these instructions to install an IBM MAX5.
Note: Before installing the IBM MAX5 expansion blade, make sure that you have updated the firmware on
the BladeCenter HX5 blade server to the latest level. If you attach and try to use the IBM MAX5 expansion
blade without updating the server firmware, you might get unexpected system behavior or the server might
not power on. For information about updating the firmware on the BladeCenter HX5 blade server, see
"Updating firmware and device drivers" on page 84.
There are two versions of the IBM MAX5 expansion blade, referred to as the IBM MAX5 version 1 and IBM
MAX5 version 2 in this document. IBM MAX5 version 2 has a "MAX5" identifying label on the bottom of the
front bezel. The functionality of the two IBM MAX5 expansion blades are equivalent except for the type of
DIMMs supported. The type of DIMMs supported will differ, depending on the version of IBM MAX5
expansion blade installed. For the list of DIMMs available for your IBM MAX5 expansion blade, see the
Problem Determination and Service Guide or go to http://www.ibm.com/supportportal/ for an updated parts
listing.
