Major components of the Netfinity 5100 server

The orange color on components and labels in your server identif ies hot-swap
components. This means that you can install or remove the component while the
system is running, provided that your system is configured to support this function.
For information about installing or removing a hot-swap component , s ee “Chapter 2.
Installing Options, ” on page 5.

The blue color on components and labels indicates touch points where a component
can be gripped, a latch moved, and so on.

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.

Working with adapters

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.

Installing an adapter

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.

• PCI slots 1 and 2 are on PCI bus A and PCI slots 3, 4, and 5 are on PCI bus B. PCI
bus A is often referred to as bus 0; PCI bus B is often referred to as bus 1. The
system scans PCI slots 1 through 5 to a ssign system resources; then, if you have
not changed the boot precedence from the default, the system starts (boots) the
PCI devices in the following order: PCI slots 1 and 2, system board SCSI
devices, and then PCI slot s 3 through 5.

Note: To change the boot precedence for PCI devices, start the

Configuration/Setup Utility program, and select Start Options from the
main menu. Refer to the User’s Reference on the IBM Netfinity
Documentation CD for details on using the Configuration/Setup Utility
program.

Chapter 2. Installing Options 7

Installing an adapter

To install an adapter:
Attention: When you handle Electrostatic Discharge-Sensitive devices (ESD), take

precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling these
devices, refer to the following Web site and use a search term of ESD:
http://www.ibm.com/

1. Review the safety precautions listed in “Safety” on page v.

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

3. Remove the cover.

4. Remove the adapter-retention bracket.

5. Remove the expansion-slot cover.

6. Refer to the documentation that comes with your adapt er for any cablin g
instructions.

7. Set any jumpers or switches as described by the adapter manufacturer.

8. Install the adapter:

a. If necessary, remove the adapter support bracket retaining clip.
b. Press the adapter firmly into the expansion slot.

Attention: Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system board or
the adapter.

c. Replace the retaining clip on the adapter support bracket, if you removed it.

d. Reinsert the adapter retention bracket.

9. Connect any needed cables to the adapter.
Attention: Route cables so that they do not block the flow of air from the fans.
The following illustration shows the rerouting of the SCSI cable if you install a

ServeRAID adapter (remove the cable from SCSI connector A (J17) on the system
board and attach it to the connector on the RAID adapter).

10. Replace the cover.

11. Reconnect the external cables and power cords; then, turn on the server.

Installing memory modules

Installing memory modules

Installing memory modules

Your server comes with a dual inline memory module (DIMM) installed on the
system board in DIMM connector 1 (J23).

Notes:

1. Install additional DIMM s in the order specified in the documentation that comes
with your option. (See the following illustration for memory connector locations.)

2. Your Netfinity 5100 server supports 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB DIMMs.
Your server supports a maximum of 4GB of system memory. See the
ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat for a list of memory
modules for use with your server.

3. Installing or removing DIMMs changes the confi guration information in the
server. Therefore, after installing or removing a DIMM, you must save the new
configuration information by using the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
When you restart the server, the system displays a message that indicates that the
memory configuration has changed. Start the Configuration/Setup Uti lity
program and select Save Settings. Refer to the User’s Ref erence on the IBM
Netfinity Documentation CD for more information.

Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.

To install memory:
Attention: When you handle Electrostatic Discharge-Sensitive devices (ESD), take

precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling these
devices, refer to the following Web site and use a search term of ESD:
http://www.ibm.com/

1. Review the safety precautions listed in “Safety” on page v.

2. Turn off the server and remove the power cords.

3. Remove the cover.

4. Select the connector in which to install the DIMM.

5. Install the DIMM in the connector.

6. Replace the cover.

7. Reconnect the power cords and turn on the server.
