v The optional ServeRAID-6i+ controller can be installed only in PCI-X slot 1.
v The server scans the PCI-X slot 2, PCI-X slot 1, mini-PCI-X slot, and PCI slots 5,
4, and 3 to assign system resources. Then, the server starts the PCI devices in
the following order, if you have not changed the default startup sequence: PCI-X
slot 2, PCI-X slot 1, mini-PCI-X slot, system-board integrated drive electronics
(IDE) or SCSI devices (including the optional ServeRAID-6i+ controller), and then
PCI slots 5, 4, and 3.
v For a list of supported options for the server, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/
support/.
See "System-board option connectors" on page 69 for the locations of expansion
slots on the system board.
Complete the following steps to install an adapter:
1. Read "Installation guidelines" on page 23 and the safety information beginning
at "Safety information" on page 107.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords and
external cables; then, remove the side cover. See "Removing the side cover"
on page 26.
3. Follow the cabling instructions, if any, that come with the adapter. Route the
adapter cables before you install the adapter.
4. Follow the instructions that come with the adapter to set jumpers or switches, if
any.
5. Remove the frame-support bracket (see "Removing and installing the support
bracket" on page 28).
6. Rotate the rear adapter-retention bracket to the open (unlocked) position and
remove it from the server. Rotate the front adapter-retention bracket to the
open position. If you are installing a smaller adapter, remove only the rear
adapter-retention bracket.
7. Remove the expansion-slot cover. From the rear of the server, press on the
slot cover. Grasp it and pull it out of the expansion slot. Store it 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. Touch the static-protective package containing 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.
9. 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. Move the adapter directly from the static-protective package to 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.
