CAUTION: Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack stability during relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate a populated rack cabinet within a room or building.

v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the top of the rack

cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. If this configuration is not known, you must observe the following precautions:

– Remove all devices in the 32U position (compliance ID RACK-001 or 22U (compliance ID RR001)

and above. – Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack cabinet. – Ensure that there are little-to-no empty U-levels between devices installed in the rack cabinet

below the 32U (compliance ID RACK-001 or 22U (compliance ID RR001) level, unless the

received configuration specifically allowed it.

v If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets, detach the rack cabinet from

the suite.

v If the rack cabinet you are relocating was supplied with removable outriggers they must be

reinstalled before the cabinet is relocated.

v Inspect the route that you plan to take to eliminate potential hazards. v Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded rack cabinet. Refer to the

documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.

v Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 230 mm (30 x 80 in.). v Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure. v Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position. v Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet during movement. v Do not use a ramp inclined at more than 10 degrees. v When the rack cabinet is in the new location, complete the following steps:

– Lower the four leveling pads. – Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet. – If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack cabinet from the lowest

position to the highest position.

v If a long-distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack

CAUTION: Regarding IBM provided VENDOR LIFT TOOL:

v Operation of LIFT TOOL by authorized personnel only. v LIFT TOOL intended for use to assist, lift, install, remove units (load) up into rack elevations. It is

not to be used loaded transporting over major ramps nor as a replacement for such designated tools like pallet jacks, walkies, fork trucks and such related relocation practices. When this is not practicable, specially trained persons or services must be used (for instance, riggers or movers).

v Read and completely understand the contents of LIFT TOOL operator's manual before using.

Failure to read, understand, obey safety rules, and follow instructions may result in property damage and/or personal injury. If there are questions, contact the vendor's service and support. Local paper manual must remain with machine in provided storage sleeve area. Latest revision manual available on vendor's web site.

v Test verify stabilizer brake function before each use. Do not over-force moving or rolling the LIFT

TOOL with stabilizer brake engaged.

v Do not move LIFT TOOL while platform is raised, except for minor positioning. v Do not exceed rated load capacity. See LOAD CAPACITY CHART regarding maximum loads at

center versus edge of extended platform.

v Only raise load if properly centered on platform. Do not place more than 200 lb (91 kg) on edge of

sliding platform shelf also considering the load's center of mass/gravity (CoG).

v Do not corner load the platform tilt riser accessory option. Secure platform riser tilt option to main

shelf in all four (4x) locations with provided hardware only, prior to use. Load objects are designed to slide on/off smooth platforms without appreciable force, so take care not to push or lean. Keep riser tilt option flat at all times except for final minor adjustment when needed.

v Do not stand under overhanging load. v Do not use on uneven surface, incline or decline (major ramps). v Do not stack loads. v Do not operate while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. v Do not support ladder against LIFT TOOL. v Tipping hazard. Do not push or lean against load with raised platform. v Do not use as a personnel lifting platform or step. No riders. v Do not stand on any part of lift. Not a step. v Do not climb on mast. v Do not operate a damaged or malfunctioning LIFT TOOL machine. v Crush and pinch point hazard below platform. Only lower load in areas clear of personnel and

obstructions. Keep hands and feet clear during operation.

v No Forks. Never lift or move bare LIFT TOOL MACHINE with pallet truck, jack or fork lift. v Mast extends higher than platform. Be aware of ceiling height, cable trays, sprinklers, lights, and

other overhead objects.

v Do not leave LIFT TOOL machine unattended with an elevated load. v Watch and keep hands, fingers, and clothing clear when equipment is in motion. v Turn Winch with hand power only. If winch handle cannot be cranked easily with one hand, it is

probably over-loaded. Do not continue to turn winch past top or bottom of platform travel. Excessive unwinding will detach handle and damage cable. Always hold handle when lowering, unwinding. Always assure self that winch is holding load before releasing winch handle.

v A winch accident could cause serious injury. Not for moving humans. Make certain clicking sound

is heard as the equipment is being raised. Be sure winch is locked in position before releasing handle. Read instruction page before operating this winch. Never allow winch to unwind freely. Freewheeling will cause uneven cable wrapping around winch drum, damage cable, and may cause serious injury. (C048)

PCIe adapters placement rules

Use this information while selecting slots for installing PCIe adapters in the 8247-42L system. Use Table 5 on page 5 to identify slot placement priorities in the system and the maximum number of adapters that can be installed in the system.

1. IBM Manufacturing requires that slot P1-C10 hold a local area network (LAN) adapter to install and

test the server. One LAN feature code (FC) 5899, EN0W, EL55, or EN0S should be selected for this purpose. IBM ships the LAN adapter in the P1-C10 slot. If needed, the client can move the LAN adapter to a different slot allowing other PCIe adapters to be placed in P1-C10. The following tables assume that the LAN adapter remains in the P1-C10 slot.

2. The PCIe3 cable adapter (FC EJ08) is supported in slots P1-C3, P1-C6, P1-C5, and P1-C7 on 8247-42L

systems that do not have a GPU adapter installed.

3. Slots P1-C3, P1-C5, P1-C6, and P1-C7, are x16 slots with busses direct from the Processor Modules

and can be used to install high-performance PCIe adapters. For these full-height, full-length slots, first priority must be given to GPU adapters followed by PCIe x16 adapters, CAPI adapters, Single Root IO Virtualization (SR-IOV) capable adapters, FC EJ12 (FPGA Accelerator), high-performance adapters, ending with all other supported adapters.

4. CAPI accelerator adapters are supported in slots P1-C6, P1-C7, P1-C3, and P1-C5.

5. Slots P1-C2 and P1-C4 are x8 slots with busses direct from the Processor Modules and can be used to

install high-performance PCIe adapters.

6. Slots P1-C2, P1-C3, P1-C4, P1-C5, P1-C6, and P1-C7 are slots with busses direct from the Processor

Modules and can be used to install high-performance PCIe adapters that support the Single Root IO Virtualization (SR-IOV) function.

7. PCIe internal slots P1-C14 and P1-C15 are used to install the SAS RAID adapter FC EJ0S and the

internal SAS RAID adapter (CCIN 57D8).

8. When the internal SAS RAID adapter (CCIN 57D8) is installed in an expanded function system and if

FC EJ0Z is installed in the PCIe slot P1-C11, slot P1-C11 is not available for installing any other PCIe adapter.

Verify whether the adapter is supported for your system. For details about the supported adapters, see PCI adapter information by feature type for the 8247-42L, 8286-41A, or 8286-42A (http://www.ibm.com/ support/knowledgecenter/POWER8/p8hcd/p8hcd_82x_84x_pcibyfeature.htm).

Find information about the placement rules and slot priorities for the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Express (PCIe) adapters that are supported for the 8286-41A or 8286-42A system.

PCIe slot descriptions for the 8286-41A and 8286-42A

The 8286-41A and 8286-42A system provides PCIe generation 3 slots. Table 6 provides information about the PCIe slots in the 8286-41A system that has a single POWER8 processor module and the 8286-42A system which offers both a single POWER8 processor module or two POWER8 processor modules. The PCIe slots are enabled to support the PCIe3 cable adapter (FC EJ08) that is used to attach the EMX0 PCIe Gen3 I/O expansion drawer.

Slot is a direct slot from the Processor Module and is a high-performance slot. The connectors in these slots are differently colored than the slots from the PCIe3 switches.

Slot connected by the PCIe3 switches.

Assigned PCIe slot order when the I/O Adapter Enlarged Capacity option is enabled. For example, if the option was enabled with a value of 5 on a two processor system, five slots (P1-C6, P1-C7, P1-C10, P1-C12, and P1-C2) are enabled with the I/O enlarged capacity. If the option was enabled with a value of 6 on a two processor system, then six slots (P1-C6, P1-C7, P1-C10, P1-C12, P1-C2, and P1-C4) are enabled with the I/O enlarged capacity, and so on. Note: Enabling the I/O Adapter Enlarged Capacity option will only affect Linux partitions. If your system does not have Linux partitions, the I/O Adapter Enlarged Capacity setting should be disabled.

The I/O Adapter Enlarged Capacity assignment order value is 5 for one processor or 10 for two processors.

The I/O Adapter Enlarged Capacity assignment order value is 6 for one processor or 8 for two processors.

For platforms with less than 64GB of total system memory, SR-IOV should not be configured in these slots as performance may be severely impacted.

PCIe adapters placement rules

Use this information while selecting slots for installing PCIe adapters in the 8286-41A or 8286-42A system. Use Table 9 on page 23 to identify slot placement priorities in the system and the maximum number of adapters that can be installed in the system.

1. IBM Manufacturing requires the slot P1-C10 to hold a local area network adapter (LAN) adapter to

install and test the server. One LAN feature code (5899, EN0H, EN0K, EN0M, EN0S, EN0U, EN0W, EN15, or EN17 for systems running AIX or Linux; 5899, EN15, or EN17 for systems running IBM i) should be selected for this purpose. IBM will ship the LAN adapter in the P1-C10 slot. The client can move this LAN adapter to a different slot and can use P1-C10 for different adapters if appropriate. The following tables assume the LAN adapter remains in the P1-C10 slot.

2. The PCIe3 cable adapter (FC EJ08) is supported in slots P1-C3 (Slot 2), P1-C6 (Slot 5), P1-C5 (Slot 4),

and P1-C7 (Slot 6).

3. Slots P1-C3, P1-C5, P1-C6, and P1-C7 are x16 slots with busses direct from the Processor Modules and

can be used to install high-performance PCIe adapters. The adapter priority for these slots is for the FC EJ12 (FPGA Accelerator), then for the high-performance adapters, followed by any other adapter.

22 Power Systems: PCIe adapter placement for the 8247-42L, 8286-41A, or 8286-42A

Page 39

4. CAPI accelerator adapters are supported in slots P1-C6, P1-C7, P1-C3, and P1-C5.

5. Slots P1-C2 and P1-C4 are x8 slots with busses direct from the Processor Modules and can be used to

install high-performance PCIe adapters. The adapter priority for these slots is for the high-performance adapters followed by any other adapter.

6. Slots P1-C2, P1-C3, P1-C4, P1-C5, P1-C6, and P1-C7 are slots with busses direct from the Processor

Modules and can be used to install high-performance PCIe adapters that support the Single Root IO Virtualization (SRIOV) function.

7. FCs 5287 and 5901 are not supported in the slots P1-C8, P1-C9, P1-C10, P1-C11, and P1-C12.

8. PCIe internal slots P1-C14 and P1-C15 are used to install the SAS RAID adapter FC EJ0S and the

high-performance internal SAS RAID adapter (CCIN 57D8).

9. When the internal SAS RAID adapter (CCIN 57D8) is installed in an expanded function system and if

the FC EJ0Z is installed in the PCIe slot P1-C11, slot P1-C11 is not available for installing any other PCIe adapter.

The 8286-42A system can have one or two system processor modules. The PCIe slot configuration in the 8286-42A system with a single processor module is the same as in the 8286-41A system.

The PCIe slot priorities are for the 8286-42A system with two processor modules, while the slot priorities for the 8286-42A system with a single processor module is the same as for the 8286-41A system.

The slot is not available to install other adapters in the expanded function system with the FC EJ0Z installed in this slot.

The adapters FC 5901 and 5287 are not supported in slots 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11.

The adapters FC EJ16, EJ17, and EJ18 are not compatible with the adapters FC EJ12 and EJ13. The FC EJ12 and EJ13 adapters are for gzip compression offload, and the FC EJ16, EJ17 and EJ18 are for

direct-attach fibre channel flash acceleration.

The PCIe Cryptographic Coprocessor must not have any other adapter installed in a slot that is adjacent to it for thermal and cooling reasons. Installing an adapter adjacent to the PCIe Cryptographic Coprocessor invalidates the product warranty.The PCIe Cryptographic Coprocessor can be installed in an end slot, which requires a total of two slots that are adjacent. Otherwise, a total of three slots that are adjacent is required.

PCIe adapter placement rules and slot priorities for the EMX0 PCIe Gen3 I/O expansion drawer

Find information about the placement rules and slot priorities for the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Express (PCIe) adapters that are supported for the EMX0 PCIe Gen3 I/O expansion drawer (EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer).

PCIe slot descriptions for the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer

The number of PCIe slots that are provided in the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer depends on the I/O module configuration of the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer. Your configuration might have one or two PCIe3 6-slot fanout modules (FC EMXF or ELMF) installed in the rear of the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer. Each PCIe3 6-slot fanout module provides six full-length, regular-height, PCIe generation 3 slots. The PCIe3 slots are compatible with generation 2 or generation 1 PCIe adapters. The PCIe slots use generation 3, single-wide, blind-swap cassettes.

The I/O module in the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer is connected to the system with an expansion drawer cable pair. Each cable pair must be the same length and are attached to the T1 and T2 ports in the I/O module and to the corresponding ports in the PCIe3 cable adapter in the system.

Figure 4 on page 33 shows the rear view of the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer with the location codes for the PCIe adapter slots in the PCIe3 6-slot fanout module.

Table 10 on page 33 lists the PCIe adapter slot locations and details for the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer.

Note:

The left I/O module bay (as viewed from the rear) is configured with the first PCIe3 6-slot fanout module slot location codes P1-C1 through P1-C6.

The right I/O module bay (as viewed from the rear) is configured with the second PCIe3 6-slot fanout module slot location codes P2-C1 through P2-C6.

The SR-IOV capability varies in slots P1-C4 and P2-C4 based on the amount of system memory. If the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer is connected to a system with a total amount of physical memory greater than or equal to 128 GB, slots P1-C4 and P2-C4 are SR-IOV capable.

The Dynamic direct memory access (DMA) window capability varies based on the amount of system memory. If the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer is connected to a system with a total amount of physical memory greater than or equal to 64 GB, the slot is Dynamic direct memory access (DMA) window capable. If the total amount of physical memory is less than 64 GB, the slot is not Dynamic direct memory access (DMA) window capable.

Slots P1-C1 and P2-C1 inherit the I/O Adapter Enlarged Capacity attribute from the slot in the system that connects to the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer.

Notes:

v All slots are PCIe generation 3 slots. v All slots support full-length, regular-height adapters or short form-factor with a regular-height tailstock

in single-wide, generation 3, blind-swap cassettes.

v Slots C1 and C4 in each PCIe3 6-slot fanout module are x16 PCIe3 buses and slots C2, C3, C5, and C6

are x8 PCIe buses.

v All slots support enhanced error handling (EEH). v All PCIe slots are hot swappable and support concurrent maintenance.

PCIe adapters placement rules

Use this information while selecting slots for installing PCIe adapters in the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer attached to the system. Use Table 11 on page 35 to identify slot placement priorities and the maximum number of adapters that can be installed in the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer based on the operating system.

Note: You can click the link that appears in the feature code column for more technical information specific to the PCIe adapter.

1. If the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer is configured with two PCIe3 6-slot fanout modules, distribute

the PCIe adapters across both I/O modules whenever possible.

2. If FC EC46 is driving the internal DVD, it must be installed in the IO expansion drawer that is closest

to the system. The system and IO expansion drawer must be in the same rack.

Note: If slot P1-C2 of the first node contains a controller adapter (CC), it must be the first option to consider for wiring the module (FanOut or DirectSlot) with the USB adapter driving the internal DVD. If it is a FanOut module, install FC EC46 in slot Px-C3 of the FanOut module.

3. Do not attempt to install x16 adapters in x8 slots. Doing so can damage the x16 connectors in the

EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer.

Find procedures that are related to PCI adapter placement rules and slot priorities.

Finding the current system configuration in IBM i

You can use the System Service Tools in the IBM i operating system to find the current system configuration.

Before you begin, you must know the location codes of the PCI adapter slots in the system with which you are working.

To find the current system configuration, start an IBM i session and sign on. If you have more than one system, start a session on the system that is being upgraded and for which you have service tools authority.

To find the current system configuration, complete the following steps:

1. Type strsst on the command line of the Main Menu and then press Enter.

2. Type your service tools user ID and service tools password on the Start Service Tools (STRSST) Sign

On display and then press Enter.

3. Select Start a service tool from the System Service Tools (SST) display and then press Enter.

4. Select Hardware service manager from the Start a Service Tool display and then press Enter.

5. Select Packaging hardware resources (system, frames, cards) from the Hardware Service Manager

display and then press Enter.

6. Type 9 on the System Unit line and then press Enter.

7. Select Include empty positions.

8. Look for the PCI adapter location codes in the Location column.

9. Write down the Type-Model number for each PCI adapter location. Some adapters can show

multiple, virtual ports. It is not necessary to write down these virtual locations.

10. Write down any PCI adapter locations that are listed in the Description column as an Empty

Position. The Type-Model number is blank for empty positions.
