SCSI controller with RAID capabilities and forces PCI-X slots 4 and 5 to 66 MHz. v The optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter can be installed only in PCI slot 1. Use the ribbon cable that comes with this adapter to connect it to the Remote Supervisor Adapter connector (JMGT1) on the system board.
Page 36
If you are installing an optional SCSI adapter, see “Cabling an optional SCSI adapter” on page 18 for additional information. 10. If you have another adapter to install, repeat steps 3 through 9. IBM xSeries 225 Type 8647: Installation Guide...
Page 37
11. If you have installed a full-length adapter, rotate the front adapter-support bracket to the closed (locked) position. 12. Reinstall the rear adapter-retention bracket; then, rotate the bracket to the closed (locked) position. Note: If any adapters in your server are large or have heavy cables attached to them, you can remove the rear adapter-retention bracket and secure all of the adapters with expansion-slot screws.
Installing internal drives Depending on your server model, you might have one or more of the following drives installed: v Diskette v Hard disk v CD-ROM Internal drive bays Some server models come with an IDE CD-ROM drive in bay 1, a 3.5-in., 1.44 MB diskette drive in bay 3, and six hot-swap hard disk drive bays.

11. Connect the power cable to the back of the drive. The connectors are keyed and can be inserted only one way. 12. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise replace the support bracket and then go to “Completing the installation” on page 34. Installing a non-hot-swap hard disk drive Some server models come with non-hot-swap hard disk drives.
Page 44
11. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, replace the support bracket (see “Removing and installing the support bracket” on page 13) and then go to “Completing the installation” on page 34. IBM xSeries 225 Type 8647: Installation Guide...
Power and signal cables for internal drives Your server uses cables to connect IDE and SCSI devices to the power supply and to the system board. (See “System-board internal connectors” on page 7 for the location of system-board connectors.) Review the following information before connecting power and signal cables to internal drives: v The drives that are preinstalled in your server come with power and signal cables attached.
10 minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed in each bay. 1. Review the “Installation guidelines” on page 9, and “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 10. 2. Open the server door. IBM xSeries 225 Type 8647: Installation Guide...
