Chapter 2. Installing optional devices
This chapter provides basic instructions for installing optional hardware devices in the server. These instructions are intended for users who are experienced with setting up IBM server hardware.
Installation guidelines
Before you install optional devices, read the following information:
vRead the safety information that begins on page v and the guidelines in “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 8. This information will help you work safely.
vWhen you install your new server, take the opportunity to download and apply the most recent firmware updates. This step will help to ensure that any known issues are addressed and that your server is ready to function at maximum levels of performance. To download firmware updates for your server, go to http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/support/xseries/index.html, select System x3250 from the Hardware list, click Go, and then click the Download tab. For additional information about tools for updating, managing, and deploying firmware, see the System x and xSeries Tools Center at http:// publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/toolsctr/v1r0/index.jsp.
vBefore you install optional hardware devices, make sure that the server is working correctly. Start the server, and make sure that the operating system starts, if an operating system is installed, or that a 19990305 error code is displayed, indicating that an operating system was not found but the server is otherwise working correctly. If the server is not working correctly, see Chapter 5, “Solving problems,” on page 29 for diagnostic information.
vObserve good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place.
vIf you must start the server while the cover is removed, make sure that no one is near the server and that no tools or other objects have been left inside the server.
vDo not attempt to lift an object that you think is too heavy for you. If you have to lift a heavy object, observe the following precautions:
–Make sure that you can stand safely without slipping.
–Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.
–Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you lift a heavy object.
–To avoid straining the muscles in your back, lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles.
vMake sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical outlets for the server, monitor, and other devices.
vBack up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
vHave a small flat-blade screwdriver available.
vYou do not have to turn off the server to install or replace hot-plug Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices.
vBlue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the component to remove it from or install it in the server, open or close a latch, and so on.
vOrange on a component or an orange label on or near a component indicates that the component can be hot-swapped, which means that if the server and operating system support hot-swap capability, you can remove or install the

component while the server is running. (Orange can also indicate touch points on hot-swap components.) See the instructions for removing or installing a specific hot-swap component for any additional procedures that you might have to perform before you remove or install the component.
vWhen you are finished working on the server, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires.
vFor a list of supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/ servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.
System reliability guidelines
To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that the following requirements are met:
vEach of the drive bays has a drive or a filler panel and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shield installed in it.
vIf the server has redundant power, each of the power-supply bays has a power supply installed in it.
vThere is adequate space around the server to allow the server cooling system to work properly. Leave approximately 50 mm (2.0 in.) of open space around the front and rear of the server. Do not place objects in front of the fans. For proper cooling and airflow, replace the server cover before turning on the server. Operating the server for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes) with the server cover removed might damage server components.
vYou have followed the cabling instructions that come with optional adapters.
vYou have replaced a failed fan within 48 hours.
vYou have replaced a hot-swap drive within 2 minutes of removal.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage the server and other electronic devices. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
vLimit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
vThe use of a grounding system is recommended. For example, wear an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap, if one is available.
vHandle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
vDo not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.
vDo not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
vWhile the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal surface on the outside of the server for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.
vRemove the device from its package and install it directly into the server without setting down the device. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its static-protective package. Do not place the device on the server cover or on a metal surface.
vTake additional care when you handle devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Removing the cover
To remove the cover, complete the following steps:
1.Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Installation guidelines” on page 7.
2.Turn off the server and all attached devices.
3.Disconnect all external cables and power cords.
Cover-release button
4.Press the cover-release button.
5.Slide the cover back approximately 1.27 cm (0.5 inches); then, lift it off the server.
Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, replace the cover before turning on the server. Operating the server for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes) with the cover removed might damage server components.
Installing a memory module
The following notes describe the types of dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that the server supports and other information that you must consider when installing DIMMs:
vThe server supports 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB DIMMs, for a maximum of 8 GB of system memory. See http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/ us/ for a list of memory modules that you can use with the server.
vThe amount of usable memory will be reduced depending on the system configuration. A certain amount of memory must be reserved for system resources. Use the system summary in the Configuration/Setup Utility program to view the total amount of installed memory and the amount of configured memory (see “Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program” on page 26).
vThe server comes with one 512 MB DIMM installed in DIMM connector 1. Some models come with a second 512 MB DIMM installed in DIMM connector 3. If one DIMM is installed, when you install an additional DIMM, it must be installed in DIMM connector 3, and it must be the same size, speed, type, and technology as the DIMM that is installed in DIMM connector 1. You can mix compatible DIMMs from various manufacturers. The third and fourth DIMMs must be installed as a pair, in DIMM connectors 2 and 4.
vIf you install a pair of DIMMs in DIMM connectors 2 and 4, they do not have to be the same size, speed, type, and technology as the DIMMs that are installed in
