vi Power Systems: Managing PCI adapters for the IBM Power 710 Express or the IBM Power 730 Express

Observe the following precautions when working on or around your IT rack system:

v Heavy equipment–personal injury or equipment damage might result if mishandled. v Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet. v Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet. v To avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always install the heaviest

devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and optional devices starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.

v Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as shelves or work spaces. Do not place objects on top

of rack-mounted devices.

v Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect all power cords in

the rack cabinet when directed to disconnect power during servicing.

v Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the same rack

cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device installed in one rack cabinet into a power device installed in a different rack cabinet.

v An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on the metal parts of

the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.

CAUTION v Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed the

manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your rack-mounted devices.

v Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not

blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air flow through the unit.

v Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that

overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the equipment in the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.

v (For sliding drawers.) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer brackets

are not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one drawer at a time. The rack might become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time.

v (For fixed drawers.) This drawer is a fixed drawer and must not be moved for servicing unless

specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer partially or completely out of the rack might cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.

(R001)

Safety notices vii

CAUTION: Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack stability during relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate a populated rack cabinet within a room or building:

v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the top of the rack

cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. If this configuration is not known, you must observe the following precautions:

– Remove all devices in the 32U position and above. – Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack cabinet. – Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices installed in the rack cabinet below the

32U level.

v If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets, detach the rack cabinet from

the suite.

v Inspect the route that you plan to take to eliminate potential hazards. v Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded rack cabinet. Refer to the

documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.

v Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 230 mm (30 x 80 in.). v Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure. v Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position. v Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet during movement. v Do not use a ramp inclined at more than 10 degrees. v When the rack cabinet is in the new location, complete the following steps:

– Lower the four leveling pads. – Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet. – If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack cabinet from the lowest

position to the highest position.

v If a long-distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack

cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in the original packaging material, or equivalent. Also lower the leveling pads to raise the casters off of the pallet and bolt the rack cabinet to the pallet.

The adapter information that is shown here is used during non-directed service activities. The information can be used to:

v Identify an adapter v Find specific technical information about an adapter v Where applicable, show special installation or cabling instructions v Show signal names for the output-pins of the adapter connectors v Where applicable, show the settings for switches or jumpers

Adapters can be identified by their feature code (FC) or their custom-card identification number (CCIN). Normally, the CCIN number is labeled on the adapter.

The FRU part number (P/N) of your adapter might not match the FRU P/N listed in this information. If the part numbers do not match, verify that the CCIN is the same. If the CCIN is same, the adapter has the same function and can be used in the same way.

Adapters must be placed in specific peripheral component interconnect (PCI), PCI-X, or PCI Express (PCIe) slots to function correctly or optimally. See the PCI adapter placement for system-specific information about which slots are available and which adapters can be placed in those slots.

PCI Express

Learn about PCI Express (PCIe) adapters and slots.

PCI Express (PCIe) adapters use a different type of slot than Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) and Peripheral Component Interconnect-X (PCI-X) adapters. If you attempt to force an adapter into the wrong type of slot, you might damage the adapter or the slot. A PCI adapter can be installed in a PCI-X slot, and a PCI-X adapter can be installed in a PCI adapter slot. A PCIe adapter cannot be installed in a PCI or PCI-X adapter slot, and a PCI or PCI-X adapter cannot be installed in a PCIe slot. The following illustration shows an example of a PCI-X adapter (A) next to a PCIe 4x (B) adapter.

Figure 1. PCI-X adapter and PCIe 4x adapter

PCIe adapters and slots come in 4 different sizes: 1x, 4x, 8x, and 16x. Smaller size adapters do fit in larger slots, but larger size adapters do not fit in smaller slots. The following table shows PCIe slot compatibility.

Handling static sensitive devices

Electronic boards, adapters, media drives, and disk drives are sensitive to static electricity discharge. These devices are wrapped in antistatic bags to prevent damage. Learn about taking precautions to prevent damage to these devices from static electricity discharge.

v Attach a wrist strap to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent electrostatic discharge

from damaging your hardware.

v When using a wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. A wrist strap is for static control. It

does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when using or working on electrical equipment.

Managing PCI adapters 3

v If you do not have a wrist strap, before removing the product from ESD packaging and installing or

replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of 5 seconds.

v Do not remove the device from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install the device in the

system.

v With the device still in its antistatic bag, touch it to the metal frame of the system. v Grasp cards and boards by the edges. Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the

adapter.

v If you need to lay the device down while it is out of the antistatic bag, lay it on the antistatic bag.

Before picking it up again, touch the antistatic bag and the metal frame of the system at the same time.

v Handle the devices carefully to prevent permanent damage.

Important partitioning considerations with dual-slot and multi-adapter configurations

Learn about partitioning considerations with dual-slot and multi-adapter configurations.

Logical partitions can own physical I/O resources. Physical I/O resources are assigned to logical partitions at the slot level. Assigning a slot to a logical partition enables the operating system that runs in the logical partition to control the functionality of the I/O resource and power for that slot. When the operating system powers a slot on or off, the physical I/O resource is powered on or off.

In some I/O configurations, the functionality of an adapter or I/O resource depends on two or more physical slots. For example, if you have a double-wide RAID adapter (FC 2053, 2054, or 2055) that take up two adjacent adapter slots or two separate RAID adapters paired together, both physical slots must be assigned to the same logical partition. For example, if you install the FC 2053, 2054, or 2055 adapter in slot 2, then the adjacent slot 3 cannot be used to install another adapter even though the slot 3 is reported as empty. It is important to understand the wanted configuration and function being provided before completing the logical partitioning and activation of the resources involved.

There are two I/O configurations involving adapter pairs:

v Mult-initiator and high availability v Auxiliary Write Cache

Multi-initiator and high availability

The terms multi-initiator and high availability (HA) refer to connecting multiple adapters (typically two adapters) to a common set of disk expansion drawers for increasing availability. This configuration is also referred to as Dual Storage IOA configuration. This type of connection is commonly done in either of the following configurations:

Note: Some systems have SAS RAID adapters integrated onto the system boards and use a Cache RAID Dual IOA Enablement Card (FC 5662) to enable storage adapter Write Cache and Dual Storage IOA (HA RAID Mode). For these configurations, installation of the Cache RAID - Dual IOA Enablement Card places the two integrated adapters into a HA RAID configuration. There are no separate SAS cables required to connect the two integrated SAS RAID adapters to each other.

HA two-system configuration

An HA two-system configuration provides a high-availability environment for system storage by enabling two systems or partitions to have access to the same set of disks and disk arrays. This feature is typically used with the IBMPowerHA®SystemMirror®. The IBMPowerHA SystemMirror software provides a commercial computing environment that ensures that mission-critical applications can recover quickly from hardware and software failures. The support for this configuration is operating system dependent.

4 Power Systems: Managing PCI adapters for the IBM Power 710 Express or the IBM Power 730 Express

HA single system configuration

An HA single system configuration provides for redundant adapters from a single system to the same set of disks and disk arrays. This feature is typically referred to as Multi-Path I/O (MPIO). MPIO support is part of the operating system support and can be used to provide a redundant IBM SAS RAID controller configuration with RAID protected disks.

Auxiliary write cache adapter

The auxiliary write cache (AWC) adapter provides a duplicate, nonvolatile copy of write cache data of the RAID controller to which it is connected.

Protection of data is enhanced by having two battery-backed (nonvolatile) copies of write cache, each stored on separate adapters. If a failure occurs to the write cache portion of the RAID controller, or the RAID controller itself fails in such a way that the write cache data is not recoverable, the AWC adapter provides a backup copy of the write cache data to prevent data loss during the recovery of the failed RAID controller. The cache data is recovered to the new replacement RAID controller and then written out to disk before resuming normal operations.

The AWC adapter is not a failover device that can keep the system operational by continuing disk operations when the attached RAID controller fails. The system cannot use the auxiliary copy of the cache for runtime operations even if only the cache on the RAID controller fails. The AWC adapter does not support any other device attachment and performs no other tasks than communicating with the attached RAID controller to receive backup write cache data. The purpose of the AWC adapter is to minimize the length of an unplanned outage, due to a failure of a RAID controller, by preventing loss of critical data that might have otherwise required a system reload.

It is important to understand the difference between multi-initiator connections and AWC connections. Connecting controllers in a multi-initiator environment refers to multiple RAID controllers connected to a common set of disk enclosures and disks. The AWC controller is not connected to the disks, and it does not perform device media accesses.

The RAID controller and the AWC adapter each require a PCI bus connection and are required to be in the same partition. The two adapters are connected by an internal connection. For the planar RAID enablement and planar auxiliary cache features, the dedicated connection is integrated into the system planar.

FC 5289 and 5290 are both the same adapter. FC 5289 is a full-height adapter, and the FC 5290 is a low-profile adapter. The names of these two adapters are:

v FC 5289: PCIe 2-port Async EIA-232 Adapter v FC 5290: PCIe LP 2-port Async EIA-232 Adapter (tailstock only)

The FC 5289 and FC 5290 are 2-port EIA-232 asynchronous serial communications PCI Express (PCIe) adapters that can be installed in the PCIe slots. The adapters are based on the PCIe 1.1 host bus interface. The parallel port function is not implemented on these adapters.

Each of the two Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) channels contain 128 byte receiver-transmitter, first-in first-out (FIFO), full modem-control signaling, and standard host interrupts. If either of the two UART interrupts are active, the host can be interrupted through a single PCI interrupt. The two-port adapter provides RJ45 Ethernet ports, which are connected by DB-9 connectors.

Replacing Fibre Channel adapters using hot swap

When hot swapping fibre channel adapters, be aware that device-related software for the storage devices might have additional devices (for example, the dar device associated with the FAStT or DS4800) that need to be removed. Refer to specific storage device documentation for information about how to remove these additional devices.

The new adapter has a unique worldwide port name (WWPN). Check the zoning and LUN assignments to ensure that the new adapter will function as expected.

Managing PCI adapters 41

Figure 16. PCIe LP POWER GXT145 Graphics Accelerator adapter and converter cable

1 DVI connector (28 pin), analog, or digital 2 Converter cable with dual DVI-I (analog/digital video) connectors

If your monitor has a DVI connector, connect it directly to the main DVI connector (labeled 1/3) of your converter cable.

If attaching a device that requires a 15 pin D-Shell receptacle for a VGA connection (eg. when the graphic adapter output is routed directly to a 7316-TF3 display or indirectly through a KVM switch), order a VGA to DVI Connection Converter, feature number 4276 and connect it to the main DVI connector (labeled 1/3) of your converter cable.

Overview

The PCIe2 LP 4-Port (10Gb+1GbE) SR+RJ45 Adapter is a PCI Express (PCIe) generation 2, x8, short form-factor, low-profile adapter. The adapter provides two 10 Gb SR optical ports and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports. This adapter provides a PCIe 2.0 host bus interface. The adapter supports the Ethernet network interface controller (NIC) function. The adapter is a high-performance adapter that consolidates traffic for networking. The link aggregation and failover features of the adapter make it suitable for critical network applications that require redundancy and high availability.

The four-port adapter provides two 10 Gb small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) optical SR transceiver ports and two 1 Gb RJ45 Ethernet ports. The two 10 Gb SR ports have little connector (LC) duplex-type connectors. The optical transceiver uses shortwave laser optics and is attached with MMF-850nm fiber cabling with LC connectors. See “Cables” on page 60 for more information about the optical cables. Each 10 Gb port provides Ethernet connectivity with a nominal data rate of 10 Gbps (gigabits per second). Figure 21 on page 60 shows the FC EN0T adapter.

Each of the 1 Gb RJ45 port provides Ethernet connectivity at a data rate of 1 Gbps. Each of the 1 Gb ports is connected with a 4-pair, CAT-5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable or with a cable of higher specification, and is supported for distances of up to 100 meters. In addition to 1 Gb (1000 Mb) networks, 100 Mb networks are also supported.

PCIe3 RAID SAS quad-port 6 Gb Adapter (FC EJ0J; CCIN 57B4)

Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) EJ0J adapter.

Overview

The PCIe3 RAID SAS quad-port 6 Gb Adapter is a PCI Express (PCIe), generation 3, RAID SAS adapter that has a low-profile, short-form factor, but packaged for full height installation. The adapter is used in high-performance and high-density, serial attached SCSI (SAS) applications. It supports the attachment of SAS disk and SAS tape by using four mini SAS high-density (HD) x4 connectors that allow the physical links to be used in various narrow and wide-port configurations. SAS tape attachment is only supported in a single adapter configuration and cannot be mixed with SAS disk on the same adapter. The adapter does not have write cache. Figure 23 on page 65 shows the PCIe3 RAID SAS quad-port 6 Gb Adapter.

64 Power Systems: Managing PCI adapters for the IBM Power 710 Express or the IBM Power 730 Express

The adapter is a 64 bit, 3.3 V, bootable SAS adapter that provides RAID 0, 5, 6, and 10 capability, and system level mirroring via the operating system. The adapter provides both single and dual RAID controller configurations. Dual controller configurations (dual storage IOA) must run RAID. JBOD (512 byte) functionality is supported only in a single controller configuration based on the operating system. Best performance is achieved when multiple RAID sets are configured and optimized under a pair of adapters in a high availability, multi-initiator RAID configuration (dual storage IOA) which allows for an Active-Active mode of operation.

The adapter support a maximum of 98 attached disk devices that depends on the drive enclosure attached. A maximum of 48 devices can be solid-state devices (SSDs). Externally attached devices are designed to run at a maximum data rate of 6 Gbps for SAS disk devices and 3 Gbps for SAS tape devices. This adapter supports RAID and non-RAID DASD, and SAS tape devices. Specific device attachment support rules apply. This adapter supports the multi-initiator and high availability (dual storage IOA) configurations in AIX, IBM i, and Linux partitions.. This adapter enables configuring the SAS drives as dedicated hot-spares with equal or higher capacity.

Important: See the SAS RAID controllers for AIX, SAS RAID controllers for Linux, or SAS RAID controllers for IBM i topics for more information and important considerations for multi-initiator and high availability or dual storage IOA configurations

PCIe3 12 GB Cache RAID SAS quad-port 6 Gb Adapter (FC EJ0L; CCIN 57CE)

Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) EJ0L adapters.

Overview

The PCI Express (PCIe) generation 3, 12 GB Cache RAID SAS quad-port 6 Gb Adapter is a large cache PCIe3 SAS adapter that provides high-performance capabilities and supports the attachment of serial-attached SCSI (SAS) disks and SAS solid-state drives (SSDs) through four mini SAS high-density (HD) connectors. The feature code (FC) EJ0L has up to a 12 GB write-cache via compression. The adapter is a 64 bit, 3.3 V, bootable SAS adapter that supports RAID levels 0, 5, 6, and 10 as well as system level mirroring via the operating system. The adapter must be installed in pairs and must be used in a high availability, multi-initiator RAID configuration with two adapters in dual-controller mode (dual storage IOA configuration). Two FC EJ0L adapters provide additional performance and adapter redundancy with mirrored write-cache data and mirrored RAID parity footprints between the adapters. If the FC EJ0L pairing is broken, then the write cache is disabled. Integrated flash memory with capacitors provides protection of the write cache in case of power failure, without the need for batteries as were used with some previous large cache adapters.

Figure 24 on page 68 shows the PCIe3 12 GB Cache RAID SAS quad-port 6 Gb adapter. The connector plug (A) is installed in an empty port and prevents damage to that port whenever a cable for the adjacent port connectors is plugged-in or removed.

Managing PCI adapters 67

Figure 24. PCIe3 12 GB Cache RAID SAS 6 Gb Adapter

To provide the highest bandwidth between two paired feature EJ0L adapters for the mirroring of cache data and parity update footprints, two SAS Adapter-to-Adapter (AA) cables are required by default on the third and fourth adapter ports until maximum device quantity attachment is required. When all connectors are attaching SAS drives, the communication between the adapter pair is performed through the SAS fabric via the I/O drawer and cabling.

The FC EJ0L is a single wide, full-height, short adapter. Figure 24 shows the FC EJ0L adapter. Every FC EJ0L requires another FC EJ0L on this server, or on another server, which pairs with the SAS RAID adapter and enables cache functionality and the other multi-initiator high availability (dual storage IOA) functions.

Systems running the AIX or Linux operating systems support either having both EJ0L features in the same system or partition, or in two separate systems or partitions. Systems running the IBM i operating system do not support the pairing of adapters on different servers or different partitions, so both the EJ0L features must be installed on the same system or partition.
