Chapter 2. Installing Options
This chapter provides the basic information needed to ins tall hardware options in
your server. This section is for all users, but is written with the experienced user in
mind. If you need more detailed installation information, refer to the User’s Reference
on the IBM Netfinity Documentat ion CD.
Removing the support bracket
When working with some options such as hard disk drives , microprocessors, and
memory modules you must first remove the support bracket to access the location for
the option.
To remove the sup port bracket:
1. Remove the screw from the bottom front corner.
2. Pull the front corner of the bracket away from the server, then lift the bracket out
of the server.
3. Store the screw and bracket in a safe place.

Working with adapters
Y ou 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, which is a component on the
system board. When you install a video adapter, the server BIOS automatically
disables the integrated video controller.
The following illustration shows the location of the 33 M Hz PCI expansion slots on
the system board.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
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 instructio ns given in this chapter. If you need to
change the switch or jumper settings on your adapter, follow the instructions
that come with the adapter.
• You can install full-length adapters in all expansion slots.
• You ca n install a 32-bit adapter in an y of the PCI slots, but you might want to
install it in a 32-bit slot and use the 6 4-b it slots for 64-bit adapters.
• Your server supports 5.0V and universal PCI adapters; 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.
