Chapter 2. Installing options

This chapter provides basic instructions for installing hardware options in your server. These instructions are intended for users who are experienced with setting

IBM server hardware. If you need more detailed instructions, see the Option

Installation Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.

Installation guidelines

Before you begin installing options in your server, read the following information:

Read the safety information beginning on page v, and the guidelines in “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 8. This information will help you work safely with your server and options.

Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical outlets for your server, monitor, and other devices that you will connect to the server.

Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.

Have a small Phillips screwdriver available.

Have a small flat-blade screwdriver available.

You do not need to turn off the server to install or replace hot-swap power supplies, hot-swap fans, or hot-plug Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices.

The orange color on components and labels identifies hot-swap or hot-plug components. You can install or remove hot-swap and hot-plug components while the server is running, provided that the server is configured to support this capability. See the instructions in this chapter for more information about removing and installing hot-swap and hot-plug components.

The blue color on components and labels indicates touch points, where a component can be gripped, a latch moved, and so on.

For a list of supported options for your server, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/.

System reliability guidelines

help ensure proper system cooling and system reliability, make sure that:

Each of the drive bays has a drive or a filler panel and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shield installed in it.

There is adequate space around the server to allow the server cooling system to work properly. See the documentation that comes with the rack.

You have followed the cabling instructions that come with optional adapters.

You have replaced a failed fan as soon as possible.

You have replaced a hot-swap drive within 2 minutes of removal.

Microprocessor sockets 2, 3, and 4 each contain either a microprocessor baffle

microprocessor and heat sink at all times.

You do not operate the server without the cover for more than 2 minutes.

Working inside a server with power on

Your server supports hot-swap devices and is designed to operate safely while it is turned on and the cover is removed. Follow these guidelines when you work inside

Remove items from your shirt pocket, such as pens and pencils, that could fall into the server as you lean over it.

Avoid dropping any metallic objects, such as paper clips, hairpins, and screws, into the server.

Handling static-sensitive devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices, including your server.

avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages

until you are ready to install them.

reduce the possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge, observe the

following precautions:

Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.

Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.

not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.

not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.

While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal part of the server for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.

Remove 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 your server cover or on

metal surface.

Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Installing memory modules

The following notes describe the types of dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that your server supports and other information that you must consider when installing DIMMs:

Your server supports 2.5 V, 184-pin, error correcting code (ECC), double-data rate (DDR) SDRAM, PC2100 registered DIMMs with Chipkill memory protection.

DIMMs can be removed and replaced through the access doors on the top of the memory cassette.

You can increase the amount of memory in the server by replacing the DIMMs with higher-capacity DIMMs or installing additional pairs of DIMMs in open sockets. The server supports 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB DIMMs. See the ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/ for an updated list of memory modules supported by the server.

For a server with an 8-DIMM-connector memory cassette, you can increase the memory capabilities of your server by upgrading to the 16-connector memory cassette. The 16-connector memory cassette supports memory mirroring and Memory ProteXion. See the ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/ for a list of memory cassettes supported by the server.

Your server uses interleaved DIMMs, which require that you install the DIMMs in specific configurations:

the 8-DIMM-connector memory cassette, install DIMMs in pairs. Each pair must be of the same type, capacity, and speed. The DIMM connectors are arranged in two groups of four rows each; the server comes with one pair of DIMMs installed in DIMM connectors 1 and 5 in the memory cassette.

Use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to enable or disable mirrored mode.

Memory mirroring enables you to improve the memory reliability of your server by creating a mirror of the data in memory port 1 and storing it in memory port 2. For memory mirroring to work, you must have the same amount of memory in both memory ports, and you must have DIMMs of the same size and clock speed

both memory ports.

The DIMMs constitute the following memory banks and use the following memory ports:

Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive

The following notes describe the types of hard disk drives that your server supports and other information that you must consider when installing a hard disk drive:

The server supports up to six 26 mm (1-inch), 3.5-inch, hot-swap hard disk drives

the hot-swap bays.

Each hot-swap drive is in a tray, which has a green activity LED and an amber status LED in the upper-right corner. The activity LED flashes when the drive is active; the status LED is lit if the drive has an error. Each hot-swap drive has a single-connector-attached (SCA) connector, which connects directly into the hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive backplane. The backplane controls the SCSI IDs for the hot-swap drives.

Before you install a hot-swap hard disk drive, take the following actions:

Inspect the drive tray for any signs of damage.

Make sure that the drive is installed in the tray correctly.

your server has an optional RAID adapter installed, see the documentation

Slot 1 is a PCI slot and is dedicated to the Remote Supervisor Adapter II. The adapter will operate in PCI mode only. The bus speed is 33 MHz only. The adapter is not hot-swappable; turn off the server when removing and installing the adapter.

Slot 2 supports hot-plugging only for an adapter with a speed of 100 MHz or higher. You can install an adapter with a speed less than 100 MHz in this slot only while the server is turned off; the bus speed will be set to the speed of the adapter.

For slots 3 through 6, the bus speed will be set to the speed of the adapter; if a PCI adapter is installed, the bus will run in PCI mode.

you install a ServeRAID 6i adapter, it must be installed in slot 2.

you install an IXA adapter, it must be installed in slot 3 and you must set the IXA jumper. Instructions for setting the IXA jumper are provided in the Option Installation Guide.

Each PCI/PCI-X slot is on a separate PCI bus.

Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this chapter.

you need to change switch settings or jumper settings on the adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter.

Your server scans devices and PCI-X slots to assign system resources in the following order: CD-ROM drive; disk drives; integrated Ethernet controller; integrated SCSI devices; and PCI-X slots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. If an RXE-100 enclosure is attached to the server, the scan continues in sequence with PCI-X slots 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18.

Note: You can use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to change the

sequence and have the server scan one of the first six PCI-X slots before

scans the integrated devices. You cannot change the scan sequence of

the PCI-X slots in an RXE-100 enclosure.
