Chapter 2. Installing options

This chapter provides detailed instructions for installing hardware options in your server.

Installation guidelines

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

v Read the safety information beginning on page v, and the guidelines in “Handling

static-sensitive devices”. This information will help you work safely with your

server and options.

v 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.

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

v Have a small flat-blade screwdriver available.

v For a list of supported options for your server, go to

http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/.

System reliability guidelines

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

v Each of the drive bays has a drive or a filler panel and electromagnetic

compatibility (EMC) shield installed in it.

v There is adequate space around the server to allow the server cooling system to

work properly. See the documentation that comes with the rack.

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

v You have replaced a failed fan as soon as possible.

Handling static-sensitive devices

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

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:

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

you.

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

v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.

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

v 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.

v 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

a metal surface.

v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces

indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Server power features

When the server is connected to an ac power source but is not turned on, the operating system does not run, and all core logic except for the service processor (also called the baseboard management controller) is shut down; however, the server can respond to requests from the service processor, such as a remote request to turn on the server. The power-on LED flashes to indicate that the server is connected to ac power but not turned on.

Turning on the server

Approximately 20 seconds after the server is connected to ac power, the power-control button becomes active, and you can turn on the server and start the operating system by pressing the power-control button.

The server can also be turned on in any of the following ways:

v If a power failure occurs while the server is turned on, the server will restart

automatically when power is restored.

v If the server is connected to an Advanced System Management interconnect

network that contains at least one server with an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II installed, the server can be turned on from the Remote Supervisor Adapter II user interface.

v If your operating system supports the system-management software for an

optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II (when available), the system-management software can turn on the server.

v If your operating system supports the Wake on LAN

feature can turn on the server.

feature, the Wake on LAN

Turning off the server

When you turn off the server and leave it connected to ac power, the server can respond to requests from the service processor, such as a remote request to turn on the server. To remove all power from the server, you must disconnect it from the power source.

Some operating systems require an orderly shutdown before you turn off the server. See your operating-system documentation for information about shutting down the operating system.

Statement 5:

10 IBM Eserver 325 Type 8835: Option Installation Guide

The server can be turned off in any of the following ways:

supports this feature. After an orderly shutdown of the operating system, the

server will be turned off automatically.

v You can press the power-control button to start an orderly shutdown of the

operating system and turn off the server, if your operating system supports this

feature.

v If the operating system stops functioning, you can press and hold the

power-control button for more than 4 seconds to turn off the server.

v If the server is connected to an Advanced System Management interconnect

network that contains at least one server with an optional Remote Supervisor

Adapter II installed, the server can be turned off from the Remote Supervisor

Adapter II user interface.

v If an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II is installed in the server, the server

can be turned off from the Remote Supervisor Adapter II user interface.

v If the Wake on LAN feature turned on the server, the Wake on LAN feature can

turn off the server.

v The service processor can turn off the server as an automatic response to a

critical system failure.

v You can turn off the server through a request from the service processor.

Removing the cover and bezel

Complete the following steps to remove the cover and bezel (with the server out of the rack):

1. Read the safety information beginning on page v, and “Installation guidelines” on

v Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those

instructions in addition to the instructions in this section. If you need to change switch settings or jumper settings on the adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter.

v The server comes with two 64-bit 100 MHz peripheral component

interconnect-extended (PCI-X) adapter expansion slots on the system board. The server is designed specifically for PCI-X adapter support, but it also supports PCI adapters.

v The expansion slots support both 32-bit and 64-bit adapters. You can install

half-length adapters in slot 2. You can install full-length adapters in slot 1.

installing a non-hot-swap hard disk drive. It is not necessary if you are installing other options in the server.

Note: If you install both 32-bit and 64-bit adapters, the PCI bus will operate at

the slower speed.

v The server supports 3.3 V and universal PCI and PCI-X adapters; it does not

support 5.0-V-only adapters.

v The integrated video controller is on PCI bus 1. The integrated Ethernet

controllers and the integrated SCSI controller are on PCI-X bus 2. PCI-X slot 1 and PCI-X slot 2 are on PCI-X bus 3.

v The server scans PCI-X slots 1 and 2 to assign system resources. By default,

the server starts (boots) devices in the following order: system IDE and SCSI devices; then, PCI and PCI-X devices.

Note: To change the boot precedence for PCI and PCI-X devices you must

disable the devices through the Configuration/Setup Utility program. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and select Startup from the main menu. Then, select Startup Sequence and use the arrow keys to specify the startup order. For more information, see the User’s Guide on the IBM Eserver Documentation CD.

v If you plan to install either an optional SCSI adapter or an optional redundant

array of independent disks (RAID) adapter, you can install it in either of the PCI-X slots if the size of the adapter permits. The server supports a variety of RAID adapters for both internal and external configurations. For the most current list of supported RAID adapters, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/ on the

12 IBM Eserver 325 Type 8835: Option Installation Guide

World Wide Web. For details about installing a RAID adapter, see the documentation that comes with the adapter.

Chapter 2. Installing options 17

Installing a 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:

v The server supports two 25.4-mm (1-inch), slim, 3.5-inch hard disk drives. SCSI

server models come with a hot-swap SCSI backplane.

v The SCSI server models support low voltage differential (LVD) hot-swap drives.

Each hot-swap drive is in a tray, which has a green activity LED and an amber status LED in the upper-right corner. These LEDs are lit if the drive is active and, in some cases, if the drive fails. Each hot-swap drive has a single-connectorattached (SCA) connector, which is connected directly into the hot-swap SCSI backplane. The backplane is attached to connector J12 on the system board and controls the SCSI IDs for the hot-swap drives.

Note: The drive in bay 1 is assigned SCSI ID 0; the drive in bay 2 is assigned

SCSI ID 1.

v A non-hot-swap hard disk drive does not require a backplane or tray and it does

not have indicator LEDs. However, you must attach the blue rails that come with the drive before installing it in the server.

v A non-hot-swap hard disk drive has a jumper block on the rear. Install a jumper

in the cable-selection position of the jumper block. For details, see the notes under step 4 on page 20, and the documentation that comes with the drive.

v If you install only one hard disk drive, for faster startup, install it in the primary

startup device bay. For hot-swap SCSI drives, the drive in bay 1 is the primary startup device. For IDE drives, the drive in bay 2 is the primary startup device.

v If you are installing a hot-swap drive, continue with “Installing a hot-swap hard

disk drive” on page 19. If you are installing a non-hot-swap drive, go to “Installing a non-hot-swap hard disk drive” on page 20.

18 IBM Eserver 325 Type 8835: Option Installation Guide

Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive

Before you install a hot-swap hard disk drive, review the following information:

v Inspect the drive tray for any signs of damage.

v Ensure that the drive is installed in the tray correctly.

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

provided with the adapter for information about installing a hard disk drive.

Complete the following steps to install a hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive:

Drive bay 1

Drive bay 2

Installing a memory module

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:

v Your server uses interleaved dual inline memory modules (DIMMs), which you

must add, remove, or replace in pairs. Each pair must be of the same type, capacity, and speed. The server comes with one pair of DIMMs installed in DIMM slots 1 and 2 on the system board.

v You can increase the amount of memory in the server through one of the

following methods:

– Replacing the installed DIMMs with higher-capacity DIMMs

– Installing an additional pair of DIMMs in slots 3 and 4 for a single

microprocessor configuration

– Installing an additional pair of DIMMs in slots 5 and 6 for a

dual-microprocessor configuration

Note: For optimal dual-microprocessor performance, install DIMMs in slots 1,

2, 5, and 6.

v The server supports 512 MB and 1 GB DIMMs. See the ServerProven

http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/ for a list of memory modules that are supported by the server. The following illustration shows the memory slots on the system board.

DIMM 4 (DDR4)

DIMM 3 (DDR3)

DIMM 2 (DDR2)

DIMM 1 (DDR1)

DIMM 6 (DDR6)

DIMM 5 (DDR5)

Chapter 2. Installing options 21

Complete the following steps to install DIMMs:

1. Review the safety information beginning on page v, and “Installation guidelines”

on page 9.

2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and all external cables.

3. Remove the server from the rack; then, remove the server cover (see “Removing the cover and bezel” on page 11).

Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors, open and close the clips gently.

4. Open the retaining clip on each end of the DIMM connector.

5. Touch the static-protective package containing the DIMM to any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the DIMM from the package.

6. Turn the DIMM so that the DIMM keys align correctly with the slot.

7. Insert the DIMM into the connector by aligning the edges of the DIMM with the slots at the ends of the DIMM connector. Firmly press the DIMM straight down into the connector by applying pressure on both ends of the DIMM simultaneously. The retaining clips snap into the locked position when the DIMM is firmly seated in the connector. If there is a gap between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the DIMM has not been correctly inserted; open the retaining clips, remove the DIMM, and then reinsert it.

Important: In some memory configurations, the 3-3-3 beep code might sound during POST, followed by a blank monitor screen. If this occurs and the Boot Summary Screen, Boot Diagnostic Screen,orQuickBoot Mode feature on the Boot Features menu of the Configuration/Setup Utility program is enabled (its default setting), you must restart the server three times to force the basic input/output system (BIOS) to reset the configuration to the default configuration (the memory connectors enabled).

v If one microprocessor is installed, it is installed in microprocessor socket 1 (U1)

and supports both the startup and application processes.

v If you install a second microprocessor in the server, the server operates as a

symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server, and operating-system application programs can distribute the processing load between the microprocessors. This enhances performance for database and point-of-sale applications, integrated manufacturing solutions, and other applications. Microprocessor 2 is installed in socket 2 (U2).

v Read the documentation that comes with the microprocessor to determine

whether you need to update the BIOS code. The most current level of BIOS code for the server is available at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/. For additional information, see the User’s Guide on the IBM Eserver Documentation CD.

v To use SMP, obtain an SMP-capable operating system. For a list of supported

operating systems, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/.
