Notices and statements used in this book
The caution and danger statements also appear in the multilingual Safety Information
book provided on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD that comes with your xSeries
product. Each statement is numbered for easy reference to the corresponding
statement in the safety book.
The following types of notices and statements are used in this book:
• Note: These notices provide important tips, guidance, or advice.
• Important: These notices provide information or advice that might help you avoid
inconvenient or problem situations.
• Attention: These notices indicate possible damage to programs, devices, or data.
An attention notice is placed just before the instruction or situation in which
damage could occur.
• Caution: These statements indicate situations that can be potentially hazardous
to you. A caution statement is placed just before the description of a potentially
hazardous procedure step or situation.
• Danger: These statements indicate situations that can be potentially lethal or
extremely hazardous to you. A danger statement is placed just before the
description of a potentially lethal or extremely hazardous procedure step or
situation.
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 packages 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 static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal part of the system unit 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 your system unit
without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it in its
static-protective package. Do not place the device on your system unit cover or on
a metal table.
• Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather, because heating
reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

System-board jumpers and switches
The following illustration identifies the jumpers and switches on the system board.
System-board jumper blocks
Any jumper blocks on the system board that are not shown in the illustration are
reserved. For normal operation of the system, the default jumpers shown in the
following table should be installed. To disable the functions listed in the table, install a
jumper (except for J38).
Flash ROM
Flash ROM page jumper J38 determines whether primary or secondary (backup)
POST/BIOS code is used by the system to startup. The default setting for J38 is a
jumper between pins 2 and 3 (primary POST/BIOS). For secondary POST/BIOS,
place a jumper between pins 1 and 2 of J38. Changing the jumper position after
system power-on is not permitted, it may cause unpredictable problems. Refer to the
User’s Reference on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD for additional information
about the flash read-only memory (ROM) page-swap jumper.
Jumper Description Default
J14 Automatic Server Restart (ASR) No jumper
J15 Forces an NMI signal No jumper
J16 On-board Ethernet controller No jumper
J20 Automatic BIOS Recovery (ABR) No jumper
J28 On-board Video controller No jumper
J33 Reserved
J37 On-board SCSI controller No jumper

Automatic Server restart (ASR)
To enable Automatic Server restart, a special device driver must be loaded. This
device driver enables the ASR watch-dog timer and then periodically resets it (within 5
minutes). If not reset, the ASR watch-dog timer will expire and start the system. The
watch-dog timer will re-arm itself after reset. To disable the ASR hardware, a jumper
must be installed between pins 1 and 2 of J14. The default is no jumper installed (ASR
enabled).
System-board switch block
The switch block contains microswitches 1 through 8. As pictured in the previous
illustration, switch 8 is at the right of the switch block, and switch 1 is at the left.
The following table describes the function for each switch. The default setting is Off for
all switches in the switch block.

Chapter 2. Installing options
This chapter provides the basic information that is needed to install hardware options
in your server. If you need more detailed installation information, refer to the User’s
Reference on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.
Before you begin
Before you begin to install options in your server, read the following information:
• Become familiar with the safety and handling guidelines under “Handling staticsensitive devices” on page 3, and read the safety statements in “Safety” on page
v. These guidelines will help you work safely while working with your server or
options.
• Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical
outlets for your server, monitor, and any other options that you intend to install.
• Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
• Have a small, flat-blade screwdriver available.
• For a list of supported options for your server, refer to
http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat on the World Wide Web.
System reliability considerations
To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that:
• Each of the drive bays has either a drive or a filler panel installed.
• The cover is in place during normal operation, or is removed for no longer than 30
minutes while the server is operating.
• There is space around the server to enable the server cooling system to work
properly. Leave approximately 127 mm (5 in.) of space around the front and rear
of the server.
• Cables for optional adapters are routed according to the instructions that are
provided with the adapters.
• A failed fan is replaced immediately.

Rotating the stabilizing feet
The feet attached to the bottom cover rotate 90 degrees to provide additional stability
for your server.
Place the server in an upright position; then, rotate the feet a quarter turn away from
the server. Carefully position the server on its feet.
When you need to access the inside of the server to install options, you might find it
easier to place the server on its side, so that the system board is facing you. If you do
so, rotate the feet in towards the server, so that they do not break off due to the weight
of the server.
Chapter 2. Installing options 11
Removing the side cover
The following information describes how to remove the side cover.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
To remove the left-side cover from the server, do the following:
1. Review the information in “Before you begin” on page 9.
2. Turn off the server and all attached devices, and disconnect all power cords; then,
disconnect all external cables.
3. If necessary, unlock the server cover.
4. Rotate the stabilizing feet on the bottom of the server, and place the server on its
side to install or remove components (see “Rotating the stabilizing feet” on page
10).
5. Pull out on the cover-release latch; then, slide the cover toward the rear of the
server and remove it.

Removing the support-bracket assembly
When working with some options such as hard disk drives and microprocessors, you
must first remove the support-bracket assembly to access the location of the option.
The support-bracket assembly consists of a support bracket, an air baffle, and a fan.
To remove the support-bracket assembly, do the following:
1. Review the safety precautions in “Safety” on page v.
2. Turn off the server and all attached devices, and disconnect all power cords; then,
disconnect all external cables.
3. Remove the cover (see “Removing the side cover” on page 11 for details).
4. Disconnect the fan 1 cable (connector J10) from the system board. (See “System-
board internal cable connectors” on page 6 for connector locations.)
Note: Remember to reconnect this cable after you reinstall the support-bracket
assembly.
5. Carefully pull up on the end of the support-bracket assembly that is closer to the
rear of the server; then, rotate and lift the support-bracket assembly out of the
server.
6. Store the support-bracket assembly in a safe place.
Chapter 2. Installing options 13
Working with adapters
You can install up to five peripheral component interconnect (PCI) adapters in the PCI
slots on the system board.
Your server comes with an integrated video controller. When you install a video
adapter, the server BIOS code automatically disables the integrated video controller.
The following illustration shows the location of the PCI expansion slots.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
Adapter considerations
Before you install adapters, review the following:
Attention: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots. This maintains
the electronic emission characteristics of the system and ensures proper cooling of
system components.
• Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those
instructions in addition to the instructions given in this chapter. If you need to
change switch or jumper settings on your adapter, follow the instructions that
come with the adapter.
• In general, you can install full-length adapters in all expansion slots.
Note: Due to variations in adapters, particularly adapter component heights and
locations, some adapters might be easier to install in specific slots.
• You can install a 32-bit adapter in any of the PCI slots, but you might want to
install it in a 32-bit slot and use the 64-bit slots for 64-bit adapters.
• Your server supports 5.0 V and universal PCI adapters; it does not support 3.3 V
adapters.
• Your server uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI adapters. You
can use this technique to install a variety of PCI adapters that currently do not
support sharing of PCI interrupts.
• The server has two PCI buses. PCI slots 1 and 2 are on PCI bus A, and PCI slots
3, 4, and 5 are on PCI bus B.
Note: PCI bus A is sometimes referred to as bus 0; PCI bus B is sometimes
referred to as bus 1.

14 xSeries 220: Installation Guide
The system scans PCI slots 1 through 5 to assign system resources; then, the
system starts (boots) the PCI devices in the following order: PCI slots 1 and 2,
system board SCSI devices, and then PCI slots 3 through 5.
• If you plan to use the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter function in the server, you
must install the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter in PCI slot 2. Only PCI slot 2
supports the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter. For additional information on the
IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter, refer to the documentation that comes with the
adapter.
Installing an adapter
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid
damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, see “Handling
static-sensitive devices” on page 3.
To install an adapter, do the following:
1. Review the safety precautions in “Safety” on page v and the information in
“Adapter considerations” on page 13.
2. Turn off the server and all attached devices and disconnect all power cords; then,
disconnect all external cables.
3. Remove the cover (see “Removing the side cover” on page 11 for details).
4. Carefully remove the support-bracket assembly from the server (see “Removing
the support-bracket assembly” on page 12). Store the cover and the supportbracket assembly in a safe place.
5. Determine which expansion slot you will use for the adapter.
Note: Check the instructions that come with the adapter for any requirements or
restrictions.
