IBM EMX0 PCIe3 Installing page 39

d. Determine the location of the PCIe3 cable adapter on the host system where you will attach the
first expansion drawer cable pair.
e. Locate the labels on the host system label sheet (B) that correspond to the location of the PCIe3
cable adapter on the host system.
f. Select one of the expansion drawer cables as the top cable (D) to attach to port T1.
g. Attach the leftmost Cx-T1 label to the connector end of the cable (E). See Figure 17. Wrap the
label with the blank end first so that the location information (F) is visible.
h. Take the second label Cx-T1 from the host system label sheet (B) and place it on the opposite end
of the cable that attaches to the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer. Ensure that the label is placed
more than 100 mm (4 in) from the end of the cable (G). See Figure 17.

9. Attach the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer location labels to the expansion drawer cable:
Note: While you are completing these steps, refer to Figure 17 as a reference.
a. Locate the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer (H) that you are connecting to the host system.
b. Locate the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer serial number label sheet (I).
c. Match the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer serial number (J) to the serial number shown on the
EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer label sheet (I).
d. Determine the location of the I/O module on the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer where you will
attach the first cable pair.
e. Locate the labels on the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer label sheet that correspond to the I/O
module location.
f. Attach the leftmost Px-T1 label to the connector end of the cable (K). See Figure 17. Wrap the label
with the blank end first so that the location information (F) is visible.
