Before you begin

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

• Read the safety information beginning on page v and “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 6. These guidelines will help you work safely with yo ur 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.

• For a list of supported options for the xSeries 440, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/ on the World Wide Web.

Note: Some preconfigured servers have a unique list of supported op tio n s. See the

software documentation provided with those servers for more information.

Chapter 1. Introduction 5

Working inside the server with power on

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

that is turned on:

• Avoid loose-fitting clothing on your forearms. Button long-sleeved shirts before working inside the server; do not wear cuff links while you are working inside the server.

• Do not allow your necktie or scarf to hang inside the server.

• Remove jewelry, such as bracelets, rings, necklaces, and loose-fitting wrist watches.

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

• Take care to avoid dropping any metallic objects, such as paper clips, hair pins , or screws, into the server.

Handling static-sensitive devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic de vices and y our system. To avoid

damage, keep static-sensiti ve devices in their static-prot ective packages until you are ready to install them.

To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the follo wing 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 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 it down. If it is necessary to set down the device, place it back into its static-protective package. Do not place the device on your server cover or on a metal surface.

• Tak e addition al care when handling d e vices during cold wea ther. Heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

PCI and PCI-X adapter considerations

Before you install adapters, review the following:

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

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

• Video adapters are not supported.

• Some long adapters have extension handles or brackets installed. Before installing the adapter, you must remove the extension handle or bracket.

• Your server uses a rotatio nal interrupt t echnique to configure PCI-X ad apters . You can use this technique to install PCI-X adapters that currently do not support sharing of PCI-X interrupts.

• The xSeries 440 server scans devices and PCI-X slots to assign system resources in the following order: CD-ROM drive; disk drives; integrated SCSI devices; PCI-X slots 1, 2, 6, 5, 3, 4; and the integrated Ethernet controller. If an RXE-100 enclosure is attached to the server , the scan contin ues in sequence with PCI slots 11, 12, 9, 10, 7, 8, 17, 18, 15, 16, 13, and 14.

the PCI-X board. Note: You can add up to 12 additional PCI-X slots to your server by connecting

your server to a remote I/O expansion enclosure. For more information about the expansion enclosure and how to connect your server to it, see the documentation that comes with your expansion enclosure.

The Active PCI-X slots in your server must be disabled by the operating system before you insert or remove a PCI or PCI-X adapter.

Note: Before hot-swapping any of the PCI-X adapters, read the information in

“Working inside the server with power on” on page 6.

Complete the following steps to install an adapte r:

1. Review the information in “Safety” on page v, “Before you begin” on page 5, “Working inside the server with power on” on page 6, and “Handling staticsensitive devices” on page 6.

2. Open the top cover. Note: Inside your server there are six PCI-X slots: two 66 MHz, two 100 MHz,

and two 133 MHz. Before attempting to install a new adapter, be sure that there is an available slot for it. If you need additional PCI-X slots, you can purchase a remote I/O exp ansion enclosure either from your IBM marketing representative or authorized reseller.

Cabling a ServeRAID adapter

Some xSeries 440 models come with an optional IBM ServeRAID™ adapter installed to control the internal hot-swap hard disk drives. If you are installing an optional IBM

12 xSeries 440:Installation Guide

ServeRAID adapter , see the ServeRAID documentation and the cabling in f ormation in this section to install the ServeRAID adapter.

Servers that do not come with an IBM ServeRAID adapter installed come with two SCSI cables:

• One end of the first SCSI cable is attached to the connector on the SCSI backplane, and the ot her end is a ttach ed to t he conn ector for the integr a ted SCSI controller behind fans 3 and 4.

• The second SCSI cable is preinstalled along the inside of the server and both ends are loose inside the server. When you install a ServeRAID adapter, you will connect this cable to the adapter and to the SCSI backplane.

The following procedure describes the internal cabling needed to install a ServeRAID adapter.

Important: When installing multiple ServeRAID adapters in a server th at ha s th e PCIX slot enabled for high scan (boot) priority, ensure that the ServeRAID adapter controlling the startup (boot) drive is installed in a PCI slot that is scanned before the PCI slots that contain the other ServeRAID adapters. See “PCI and PCI-X adapter considerations” on page 10.

Complete the following steps to cable the ServeRAID adapter.

1. Review the information in “Safety” on page v, “Before you begin” on page 5, and “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 6.

2. Turn off the server and disconnect all power cords and e xternal cables; then, open the server cover (see “Opening the cover” on page 9).

3. Remove fans 3 and 4, which are located just behind the PCI-X slots (see the illustration on page 5 for the location of the fans).

4. Disconnect the short SCSI cable from the SCSI backplane and the integrated SCSI controller; then, store this short cable in a safe place for future use.

5. Install the ServeRAID adapter in a PCI-X slot (see “Installing adapters” on page

11).

The SMP Expansion Module contains the XceL4 system cache, DIMMs , microprocessors, and v oltage regulator modules (VRMs) needed to run your server. In this section, you will find the information needed to remove and install the SMP Expansion Module, microprocessors, VRMs, and DIMMs.

SMP Expansion Module considerations:

• Use two hands to install or remove an SMP Expansion Module. Do not allo w the expansion module to come in contact with the center planar while lifting it out or putting into the server.

• For your server to operate properly, there must be a minimum of one SMP Expansion Module installed.

• An SMP Expansion Module must contain at least one microprocessor and four DIMMs.

• If there is only one SMP Expansion Module installed in the server, an SMP baffle must be installed in place of the up pe r SMP Expan sion Mo dules t o ensur e pr ope r cooling of the server.

• When the minimum number of microprocessors are inst alled in the SMP Expansion Module, a microprocessor baffle must be installed in microprocessor socket 4 to ensu re proper cooling within the server.

• Before removing or installing SMP Expansion Modules, you must remove the retention bracket or brac k ets and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shield from the rear of the server.

• You must run the Configuration/Setup Utility program whenever you remove or replace an SMP Expansion Module or one of its associated options.
