Handling static-sensitive devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective bag until you are ready to install them.

To reduce the possibility of 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.

• Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.

• Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the

device.

• While the device is still in its anti-static package, touch it to an un painted metal part of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.)

• Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it on its static-protective package. (If your device is an adapter, place it component side up.) Do not place the device on your system unit cover or on a metal table.

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

Working with adapters

Your server comes with adapter connectors, called slots. The AGP video adapter is installed in the AGP slot. You can install up to five PCI adapters in PCI expansion slots 1 through 5. All PCI expansion slots are 32-bit, 33 MHz slots.

Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware. The following illustration shows the location of the PCI expansion slots on the system

and PCI extender boards.

AGP slot PCI slot 1

PCI slot 2 PCI slot 3 PCI slot 4 PCI slot 5

Adapter considerations

Before you install an adapter, review the following:

• Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to the instructio ns given in this chapter. If you need to change switch or jumper settings on your adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter.

• You can install full-length adapters in all five PCI expansion slots.

• Your server supports 5.0V and universal PCI ad apters; it does not support 3.3V

adapters.

• Your server uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI adapters. Because of this technique, you can install a variety of PCI adapters that currently do not support sharing of PCI interrupts.

• PCI slots 1 through 5 are on PCI bus 0. The system scans the AG P slot and PCI expansion sl ots 1 through 5 to assign

system resources; then, the system starts (boots) the PCI devices in the following order, if you have not changed the default boot sequence: PCI expansion slots 1 and 2, system board integrated drive electronics (IDE) or small computer system interface (SCSI) devices, and then PCI expansion slots 3 through 5.

Note: To change the boot sequence for PCI devices, start the

Configuration/Setup Utility program, and select Start Options from the main menu, select Startup Sequence; then, select Second device (SCSI) to designate the adapter boot sequence. Refer to the User’s Reference on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD for details on using the Configuration/Setup Utility program.

Your server comes with a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) installed on the system board in DIMM connector 1.

Memory considerations:

• When installing additional memory modules, install the second memory module in DIMM connector 2, and the third in DIMM connector 3. (See the illustration in this section for mem ory connector locations.)

• Your xSeries 200 server supports 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, and 512 MB DIMMs. Your server supports a minimum of 64 MB and a maximum of 1.5 GB of system

memory. See the ServerProven list of memory modules for use with your server.

• Installing or removing DIMMs changes the configuration information in the server. Therefore, after installing or removing a DIMM, you must change and save the new configuration informa tion by using the Configuration/Setup Utility program. When you restart the server, the system displays a message indicating that the memory configuration has changed. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program an d select Save Settings. Refer to the User’s Reference on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD for more information.

The IBM Warranty for Machines

IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and workmanship and 2) confor ms to IBM’s Official Published Specifications. The warranty period for a Machine is a specified, fixed period commencing on its Date of Installation. The date on your sales receipt is the Date of Installation, unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise.

During the warranty period IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to provide warranty service, will provide repair and exchange service for the Machine, without charge, under the type of service designated for the Machine and will manage and install engineering changes that apply to the Machine.

If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, and IBM or your reseller are unable to either 1) make it do so or 2) replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent, yo u may return it to your place of purchase and your money will be refunded. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order.

Extent of Warranty

The warranty does not cover the repair or exchange of a Machine resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, improper maintenance by you, or failure caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible. The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of Machine or parts identification labels.

THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHE R RI GHTS WHICH VARY FRO M JU RI S D IC TION TO JURISDICTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.

Items Not Covered by Warranty

IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine. Unless specified otherwise, IBM provides non-IBM machines WITHOUT

WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.

Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such as assistance via telephone with "how-to" questions and those regarding Machine set-up and installation, will be provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
