Installing A Microprocessor - IBM Netfinity 4500R Type 8656 Hardware Maintenance Manual

Installing a microprocessor

• If you are installing a digital linear tape (DLT) backup drive, use the metal
slide rails and screws that are shipped in the box that contains the server
documentation.
8. Place the drive so that the slide rails engage in the bay guide rails. Push the drive
into the bay until it clicks into place.
9. If you are installing a SCSI device, continue with the next step. If you are
installing an IDE device, go to step 12..
10. To install a SCSI device:
a. Attach the connector on the 1-drop SCSI cable for the non-hot-swap drive
bays to the back of the drive. The cable is shipped restrained in a cable clamp
on the bottom of the server chassis near the bays. Connect the other end of the
cable to SCSI channel A on the system board, if it is not already attached. See
"System board internal cable connectors" on page 41 for the location of the
SCSI channel A connector.
Note: If you want to install more than one optional SCSI 5.25-inch device,
install an optional SCSI adapter to control the device.
b. Connect a power cable to the back of the drive. Power cables for non-hot-
swap drives come installed in your server. The connectors are keyed and can
be inserted only one way.
c. Continue with step 12.
11. To install an IDE device, such as a CD-ROM drive or a DVD-ROM drive, use the
two-drop IDE cable that comes with the option:
Note: If you add an IDE device such as a CD-ROM R/W drive or a DVD-ROM
drive, you will no longer be able to use the slim-high CD-ROM that came
with the system.
a. Remove the cable connecting the CD-ROM drive to the IDE connector on the
system board.
b. Using the two-drop cable that came with your IDE option, connect the IDE
device to the IDE connector on the system board.
c. Set the jumper on the back of the new IDE device to master.
12. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to
"Installing the server cover and bezel" on page 60.
Your server comes with one microprocessor installed on the system board. If you
install an additional microprocessor, your server can operate as a symmetric
multiprocessing (SMP) server. With SMP, certain operating systems and application
programs can distribute the processing load between the microprocessors.
Notes:
1. Before you install a new microprocessor, review the documentation that comes
with the microprocessor, so that you can determine whether you need to update
the server basic input/output system (BIOS). The latest level of BIOS for your
server is available through the World Wide Web and the IBM Bulletin Board
System (BBS). The latest level of BIOS for your server is available through the
World Wide Web
2. Obtain an SMP-capable operating system (optional). For a list of supported
operating systems, see http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/ on the World
Wide Web.
