Chapter 2. Installing the I/O expansion card

This chapter provides detailed instructions for installing the I/O expansion card in your blade server.

Note: The blade server shown in the illustrations in this section might be

different from your blade server. For additional information, see the documentation that comes with your blade server.

Installation guidelines

Before you begin to install the I/O expansion card in your blade server, read the safety information beginning on page v and the guidelines in “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 10. This information will help you work safely with your blade server and options.

Make sure that you are using the latest versions of device drivers, firmware, and BIOS or firmware code for your blade server, management module, and I/O modules that are used by the I/O expansion card. Go to the IBM support Web site, http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ for the latest information about upgrading the device drivers, firmware, and BIOS or firmware code for BladeCenter components. The latest instructions are in the documentation that comes with the updates.

If your blade server has an integrated drive electronics (IDE) hard disk drive installed in the IDE connector location where you are installing the I/O expansion card, you will need to remove it to install the I/O expansion card. The I/O expansion card occupies the same space as this hard disk drive and replaces it. Yo u cannot install a hard disk drive in the IDE connector while an I/O expansion card is installed in that connector location. This means that you must choose to install either an IDE hard disk drive or an I/O expansion card in some types of blade servers.

Important:

v If an IDE hard disk drive must be removed to install the I/O expansion

card, and this disk drive contains any information that you want to keep, back it up to another storage device.

v If an IDE hard disk drive must be removed to install the I/O expansion

card, and this disk drive is part of a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) array, unconfigure this RAID array before removing the hard disk drive. See your operating-system documentation for instructions.

Make sure that an I/O module that supports Fibre Channel operation is installed in I/O-module bay 3, I/O-module bay 4, or both I/O-module bays 3 and 4 in the BladeCenter unit:

v If your blade server type supports installation of one I/O expansion card,

you must install at least one I/O module that supports Fibre Channel operation in the BladeCenter unit when you install an expansion card in the blade server. Installing a second identical I/O module that supports Fibre Channel operation in the BladeCenter unit provides a backup I/O module in case one I/O module fails. If I/O modules are installed in both I/O-module bays 3 and 4, both I/O modules must be of the same type.

v If your blade server type supports installation of two I/O expansion cards,

you must install I/O modules that support Fibre Channel operation in the BladeCenter unit when you install two expansion cards in any blade server that is installed in the BladeCenter unit.

the following BladeCenter documentation for additional information:

See

v The Installation and User’s Guide for your blade server provides blade-server

specific I/O expansion card installation requirements.

v The Installation Guide for your BladeCenter unit shows I/O module bay

locations.

v The Installation Guide for your I/O module has installation and configuration

instructions for the I/O module.

Handling static-sensitive devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system, including your blade 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 any

unpainted metal surface of the BladeCenter chassis or any unpainted metal surface on any other grounded rack component in the rack in which you are installing the device 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 blade

server without setting down the device. If it is necessary to set down the

10 Installation and User’s Guide for HS20/HS40 and JS20 Fibre Channel expansion cards

device, place it back into its static-protective package. Do not place the device on the blade 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.

v Wear an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap, if one is available.

Installing the I/O expansion card in a blade server

To install the I/O expansion card in a blade server, complete the following steps:

1. Before you begin installing the I/O expansion card in your blade server,

read the “Installation guidelines” on page 9. This section contains information about procedures that should be performed before you remove your blade server from the BladeCenter unit to install the I/O expansion card.

2. If the blade server is installed in a BladeCenter unit and operating, shut

down the operating system; then, turn off the blade server. (See the Installation and User’s Guide for your blade server for instructions.)

Attention: Wait at least 30 seconds, until the drives stop spinning, before proceeding to the next step.

Statement 21:

CAUTION: Hazardous energy is present when the blade is connected to the power source. Always replace the blade cover before installing the blade.

3. Remove the blade server from the BladeCenter unit, open the blade server

cover, and locate the connectors where the I/O expansion card will be installed. See the Installation and User’s Guide for your blade server for instructions.

Important:

v If an IDE hard disk drive must be removed to install the I/O expansion

card, and this disk drive contains any information that you want to keep, back it up to another storage device.

v If an IDE hard disk drive must be removed to install the I/O expansion

card, and this disk drive is part of a RAID array, unconfigure this RAID array before removing the hard disk drive. See your operating-system documentation for instructions.

Chapter 5. Using the IBM FAStT MSJ utility

This chapter provides an overview of the IBM FAStT MSJ (Management Suite Java™) utility that can be used by advanced users to customize the configuration of the IBM Eserver BladeCenter JS20 Fibre Channel Expansion Card when it is installed in a BladeCenter JS20 blade server. Yo u can perform the custom configuration procedures that are described in this chapter only when the SUSE LINUX operating system or another Linux operating system is running. If you are using the AIX operating system, use the standard “Config Manager and Diagnostics Routine” procedures that are described in the applicable AIX operating-system documentation. For more detailed information, see the IBM FAStT Management Suite Java User’s Guide version 1.0 or later that is available at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.

Overview of the IBM FAStT MSJ utility

The FAStT MSJ utility is used to configure a SAN environment that consists of IBM FAStT Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs). It is a network-capable application that can connect to and configure remote systems, enabling centralized management and configuration of an entire SAN containing HBA components, storage devices, and host systems.

You can use IBM FAStT MSJ to manage and control one or more expansion cards that are installed on local or remote systems. The FAStT MSJ utility is used, along with problem determination procedures (PDPs), on new or existing installations to help diagnose Fibre Channel (FC) subsystem problems in adapters, controllers, and devices that are attached to the FC fabric or loop.

You can also perform the following operations by using the FAStT MSJ utility to configure devices in your system:

Disable (unconfigure) a device on a host bus adapter

When a device is set as unconfigured, it is not recognized by the HBA and is not accessible to the HBA on that system.

Enable a device

This operation adds a device and makes it accessible to the HBA on that system.

Designate a path as an alternate or preferred path

When a device is accessible from more than one adapter in the same system, you can assign one path as the preferred path and the other path as an alternate path. If the preferred path fails, the system switches to the alternate path to make sure that the transfer of data is not interrupted.

Note: The diagnostic functions of the FAStT MSJ utility are available for all

supported operating systems. The configuration functions of the FAStT MSJ utility are available only for Linux operating systems.

Installation and system requirements

Make sure that you are using the latest version of the IBM FAStT MSJ utility for the IBM Eserver BladeCenter JS20 Fibre Channel Expansion Card. Go to the IBM support Web site at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ for the latest information about the IBM FAStT MSJ utility. The latest instructions and system requirements are in the documentation that comes with the utility.

24 Installation and User’s Guide for HS20/HS40 and JS20 Fibre Channel expansion cards

Update Flash utility

Through the Utilities section of the FAStT MSJ utility, you can update I/O expansion card firmware and perform adapter-level configurations on a host-connected adapter.

When you click Update Flash in the Utilities section of the FAStT MSJ utility, and the adapter accepts the update, the application prompts for the file name of the new flash BIOS or firmware code. The latest version of expansion card flash BIOS or firmware code is available from the IBM support We b site at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.

After you enter a valid flash BIOS or firmware code file name, click OK to complete the update, or click Cancel to stop the update. When you click OK, the FAStT MSJ utility verifies the file name and format of the new file. If the file is valid, the application then compares the version of the file with the adapter flash version that is currently installed. If the installed adapter version is the same or newer than the file flash version that you are trying to install, the application asks if you still want to update the flash.

If the firmware update fails, an error message is displayed.

Important notes

Processor speeds indicate the internal clock speed of the microprocessor; other factors also affect application performance.

CD drive speeds list the variable read rate. Actual speeds vary and are often less than the maximum possible.

When referring to processor storage, real and virtual storage, or channel volume, KB stands for approximately 1000 bytes, MB stands for approximately 1 000 000 bytes, and GB stands for approximately 1 000 000 000 bytes.

When referring to hard disk drive capacity or communications volume, MB stands for 1 000 000 bytes, and GB stands for 1 000 000 000 bytes. Total user-accessible capacity may vary depending on operating environments.

Maximum internal hard disk drive capacities assume the replacement of any standard hard disk drives and population of all hard disk drive bays with the largest currently supported drives available from IBM.

Maximum memory may require replacement of the standard memory with an optional memory module.
