Important: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of code is supported for the cluster solution before you update the code.
For additional information about tools for updating, managing, and deploying firmware, see the ToolsCenter for System x and BladeCenter at http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=TOOL­CENTER.
v Before you install optional hardware, make sure that the server is working
correctly. Start the server, and make sure that the operating system starts, if an operating system is installed, or that a 19990305 error code is displayed, indicating that an operating system was not found but the server is otherwise working correctly. If the server is not working correctly, see “Running the DSA Preboot diagnostic programs” on page 129 for information about how to run diagnostics.
v Observe good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place removed
covers and other parts in a safe place.
v Do not attempt to lift an object that you think is too heavy for you. If you have
to lift a heavy object, observe the following precautions: – Make sure that you can stand safely without slipping. – Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet. – Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you lift a heavy
object.
– To avoid straining the muscles in your back, lift by standing or by pushing
up with your leg muscles.
v Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical
outlets for the server, monitor, and other devices.
v Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
32 System x3650 M4 BD Type 5466: Installation and Service Guide
v Have a small flat-blade screwdriver available. v To view the error LEDs on the system board and internal components, leave the
server connected to power.
v You do not have to turn off the server to install or replace hot-swap power
supplies, hot-swap fans, or hot-plug Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices. However, you must turn off the server before you perform any steps that involve removing or installing adapter cables and you must disconnect the power source from the server before you perform any steps that involve removing or installing a riser card.
v Blue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the component
to remove it from or install it in the server, open or close a latch, and so on.
v Orange on a component or an orange label on or near a component indicates
that the component can be hot-swapped, which means that if the server and operating system support hot-swap capability, you can remove or install the component while the server is running. (Orange can also indicate touch points on hot-swap components.) See the instructions for removing or installing a specific hot-swap component for any additional procedures that you might have to perform before you remove or install the component.
v When you are finished working on the server, reinstall all safety shields, guards,
labels, and ground wires.

compatibility (EMC) shield installed in it.
v If the server has redundant power, each of the power-supply bays has a power
supply installed in it.
v There is adequate space around the server to allow the server cooling system to
work properly. Leave approximately 50 mm (2.0 in.) of open space around the front and rear of the server. Do not place objects in front of the fans. For proper cooling and airflow, replace the server cover before you turn on the server.
v You have followed the cabling instructions that come with optional adapters. v You have replaced a failed fan within 48 hours. v You have replaced a hot-swap drive within 2 minutes of removal. v You do not operate the server without the air baffles installed. Operating the
server without the air baffles might cause the microprocessor to overheat.
Chapter 2. Installing optional devices 33
Working inside the server with the power on
Guidelines to work inside the server with the power on.
Attention:
v IBM System x3650 M4 BD Type 5466 does not support service on rack. v Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is
powered-on might cause the server to halt, which might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when you work inside the server with the power on.
You might have to have the server turned on while the cover is off, to look at light path diagnostics LEDs or replace hot swap components. Follow these guidelines when you work inside a server that is turned on:
v Avoid wearing 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.
v Do not allow your necktie or scarf to hang inside the server. v Remove jewelry, such as bracelets, necklaces, rings, and loose-fitting wrist
watches.
v Remove items from your shirt pocket, such as pens and pencils, that could fall
into the server as you lean over it.
v Avoid dropping any metallic objects, such as paper clips, hairpins, and screws,
into the server.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Use this information to handle static-sensitive devices.
Attention: Static electricity can damage the server and other electronic devices. 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 The use of a grounding system is highly recommended. For example, wear an
electrostatic-discharge wrist strap, if one is available. Always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with the power on
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, have the device be in
contact to an unpainted metal surface on the outside of the server 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 server
without setting down the device. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its static-protective package. Do not place the device on the server top cover or on a metal surface.
v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating
reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Memory module installation

The following notes describe the types of dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that the server supports and other information that you must consider when you install DIMMs.
About this task
v Confirm that the server supports the DIMM that you are installing, see
http://www.ibm.com/systems/info/x86servers/serverproven/compat/us/.
v When you install or remove DIMMs, the server configuration information
changes. When you restart the server, the system displays a message that indicates that the memory configuration has changed.
v The server supports only industry-standard double-data-rate 3 (DDR3) - 1600 or
1866 MHz (depending on the configuration) , synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) registered dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) with error correcting code (ECC).
v The specifications of a DDR3 DIMM are on a label on the DIMM, in the
following format. ggg eRxff-PC3-wwwwwm-aa-bb-cc-dd where: – ggg is the total capacity of the DIMM (for example, 1GB, 2GB, or 4GB) – eis the number of ranks
1 = single-rank 2 = dual-rank
–xff is the device organization or bit width (for example, x4, x8, or x16)
4 = x4 organization (4 DQ lines per SDRAM) 8 = x8 organization 16 = x16 organization
wwwww is the DIMM bandwidth, in MBps
12800 = 12.80 GBps PC3-1600 SDRAMs, 8-byte primary data bus) 14900 = 14.93 GBps PC3-1866 SDRAMS, 8-byte primary data bus)
m is the DIMM type
E = Unbuffered DIMM (UDIMM) with ECC (x72-bit module data bus) R = Registered DIMM (RDIMM) U = Unbuffered DIMM with no ECC (x64-bit primary data bus) L = Load Reduction DIMM (LR-DIMM)
aa is the DDR3 SDRAM CAS latency, in clocks at maximum operating
frequency – bb is the JEDEC SPD Revision Encoding and Additions level – cc is the reference design file for the design of the DIMM – d is the revision number of the reference design of the DIMM
Note: To determine the type of a DIMM, see the label on the DIMM. The information on the label is in the format xxx nRxxx PC3-xxxxx-xx-xx-xx-xx. The numeral in the fourth numerical position indicates whether the DIMM is single-rank (n=1) or dual-rank (n=2).
v Do not mix registered and unbuffered DIMMs in the server. v Do not mix load reduced DIMMs with other types of DIMMs in the server. v DO not mix ECC and non-ECC DIMMs in the server.
60 System x3650 M4 BD Type 5466: Installation and Service Guide
v The server supports 1.35-volt (low-voltage) and 1.5-volt DIMMs. v The server supports a maximum of 16 DIMMs (single-rank and dual-rank) on
the base system board.
v The DIMM options that are available for the server are 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, and
32 GB (when available).
v The server supports memory sparing. Memory sparing reserves memory
capacity for failover in the event of a DIMM failure, and the reserved capacity is
deducted from the total available memory. Memory sparing provides less
redundancy than memory mirroring does. If a predetermined threshold of
correctable errors is reached, the contents of the failing DIMM are copied to the
spare memory, and the failing DIMM or rank is disabled. To enable memory
sparing through the Setup utility, select System Settings > Memory.
v The server system board supports a minimum of 4 GB and a maximum of 512
GB of system memory.
Note: The amount of usable memory is reduced depending on the system
configuration. A certain amount of memory must be reserved for system
resources. To view the total amount of installed memory and the amount of
configured memory, run the Setup utility. For additional information, see
“Configuring the server” on page 88.
v The following table shows the DIMM connectors that are associated with each
microprocessor:

v When you replace a DIMM, the server provides automatic DIMM enablement
capability without you having to go to Setup to enable the new DIMM
manually.
v The maximum operating speed of the server is determined by the slowest
DIMM installed in the server.
v A minimum of one DIMM must be installed for each microprocessor. For
example, you must install a minimum of two DIMMs if the server has two
microprocessors installed.
v The server comes with a minimum of one DIMM installed in slot 1. When you
install additional DIMMs, install them in the order shown in the information in
the following tables to optimize system performance.

Memory mirroring
Memory-mirroring mode replicates and stores data on two pairs of DIMMs within two channels simultaneously.
About this task
Memory-mirroring mode replicates and stores data on two pairs of DIMMs within two channels simultaneously. If a failure occurs, the memory controller switches from the primary pair of memory DIMMs to the backup pair of DIMMs. You must enable memory mirroring through the Setup utility. For details about enabling memory mirroring, see “Using the Setup utility” on page 91. When you use the memory mirroring feature, consider the following information:
v DIMMs must be installed in pairs. The DIMMs in each pair must be the same
size and type.
v The maximum available memory is reduced to one third of the installed
memory when memory mirroring is enabled. For example, if you install 96 GB
of memory, only 32 GB of addressable memory is available when you use
memory mirroring.
v Channel 1 DIMM connectors 1, 2, 7, and 8 are not used in memory-mirroring
mode.

Rank sparing
Sparing enables a failing rank to be replaced by ranks installed in an unoccupied space. An unused spare rank on the channel can be used to copy the contents of a failing rank on that channel.
About this task
When you use the memory mirroring feature, consider the following information: v In rank sparing mode, one rank of a DIMM in each populated channel is
reserved as spare memory. The spare rank is not available as active memory. When the active rank memory fails, its content is copied to the spare rank memory which becomes active. The spare rank must have identical or larger memory capacity than all the other ranks on the same channel.
v DIMMs must be installed in sets of three. The DIMMs in each set must be the
same size and type.
v The following table lists the DIMM installation sequence for rank sparing mode
when one or two microprocessors is installed in the server:
