General checkout

The server diagnostic prog rams are stored in upgradable read-only memory (ROM) on the system board. These programs are the primary method of testing the major components of the server: The system board, Ethernet controller, video controller, RAM, keyboard, mouse (pointing device), diskette drive, serial ports, hard drives, and parallel port. You can also use them to test some external devices. See Diagnostic programs and error messages on page 10.
Also, if you cannot determine whether a problem is caused by the hardware or by the softw a re, you ca n run the diagnostic programs t o confirm that the hard wa re is working properly.
When you run the diagnostic programs, a single problem might cause several error messages. When this occurs, work to correct the cause of the first error message. After the cause of the first error message is corrected, the other error messages might not occur the next time you run the test.
A failed system might be par t of a shared DASD cluster (two or mor e systems sharing the same external storage device(s)) . Prior to running diagnostics, verify that the failing system is not part of a shared DASD cluster.
A system might be part of a cluster if:
The customer identifies the system as part of a cluster.
One or more external storage units are attached to the system and at least one of
the attached storage units is additionally attached to another system or unidentifiable source.
One or more sy stems are loca te d near the failing system. If the failing system is suspected to be part of a shared DASD cluster, all diagnostic
tests can be run except diagnostic tests which test the storage unit (DASD residing in the storage unit) or the storage adapter attached to the storage unit.
Notes:
1. For systems that are part of a shared DASD clus ter, run one test at a time in looped mode. Do not run all tests in looped mode, as this could enable the DASD diagnostic tests.
2. If multiple error codes are displayed, diagno se the firs t error code dis pla yed.
3. If the computer hangs with a POST error, go to the Chapter . Symptom-to - FRU index, on page 85.
4. If the computer hangs and no error is displayed, go to Undetermined problems on page 100.
5. Po wer supply problems, see Chapter . Symptom-to-FRU index, on page 85.
6. Safety information, see Safety information on page 105.
7. Fo r intermittent problems, check the error log; see POST error mess ages on page 9.
1. IS THE SYSTEM PART OF A CLUSTER?
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2000 1
YES. Schedule maintenance with the customer. Shut down all systems related to the cluster. Run storage test.
NO. Go to step 2.
2. IF THE SY STEM IS NOT PART OF A CLUSTER:
Power-off the computer and all external devices.
Chec k al l cables an d power cords.
Set all display controls to the middle position.
Power-o n all ext e rna l devices.
Power-on the computer.
Record any POST error messages displayed on the screen. If an error is displayed, look up the first error in the POST error codes on page 94.
Check the System Error Log. If an error was recorded by the system, see Chapter . Symptom-to-FRU index,” on page 85.
Start the Diagnostic Programs. See “Diagnostic p rograms and error messages on page 10.
Check for th e following responses:
a. One beep. b. Readable instructions or the Main Menu.
3. DID YOU RECEIVE BOTH OF THE CORRECT RESPONSES?
NO. Find the failure symptom in Chapter . Symptom-to-FRU index, on page 85.
YES. Run the Diagnostic Programs. If necessary, refer to Diagnostic programs and
error messages on page 10.
If you receive an error, go to Chap te r . Sy m p to m-to-F R U i nd e x , on page 85.
If the diagnostics completed successfully and you still suspect a problem, see Undetermined problems on page 100.

Diagnostics

This section provides basic troubleshooting information to help you resolve some common pr oblems that might occur wi th the server.
If you cannot locate and correct the problem using the information in this sec tion, refer to Symptom-to-F RU index on page 85 for more information.

Diagnostic tools overview

The following tools are available to help you identify and resolve hardware-related problems:
POST bee p cod es
The power-on self-test (POST) generates beep codes and messages to indicate successful test completion or the det e ction of a probl e m. See “POST” for more information.
Diagnostic programs and error messages
The server diagnostic programs are provided on the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD. These programs test the major components of the server . See “Diagnostic programs and error messages on page 10 for more information.

POST

When you turn on the server, it performs a series of tests to check the operation of server components an d some of the options installed in th e se rver. This se ries of tests is called the power-on self-test or POST.
If POST finishes without detecting any problems, the first window of the operating system or application program appears.
Note:
1. If you have a power-on passw ord or administrator password set, you must type the password and press Enter, when prompted, before POST will continue.
2. A single problem might cause several error messages. When this occurs, work to correct the cause of the first error message. After you correct the cause of the first error message, the other error messages usuall y will no t occur the next ti m e y ou ru n th e tes t .

POST beep code descriptions

POST generates beep codes to indicate successful completion or the detection of a problem.
One short beep indicates the successful completion of POST.
More than one beep indicates that POST detected a problem. For more information, see Beep symptoms on page 85“.

POST error messages

The possible types of beep codes that your system might emit are:
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2000 9
Repeating long beeps
Indicates th at a memory error has occurred. Ensure that all DIMM s are correctly installed.
One long beep and two short beeps
Indicates that a video err or has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional i nformation. Ensure that the video adapter is correctly installed.
For a list of POST errors, see POST error co de s on page 94.

When you turn off the power to the server, the test log is cleared.

Diagnostic error message tables

For descriptions of the error messages that might appear when you run the diagnostic programs, see Diagnost ic error codes” on page 89. If diagnostic error messages appear that are not listed in those tables, make sure that the server has the latest levels of BIOS, Advance d System Managemen t P rocessor, ServeRAID, and diagnostics microcode installed.

Power checkout

Power problems can b e difficu lt to trou bleshoot. For instance, a short circui t can exist anywhere on any of the power distributio n busses. Usually a short circuit will cause the power su b s ystem to shut d own because of an overcurrent conditi o n.
A general procedure for troubleshooting power problems is as follows:
Diagnostics 13
1. Power off the server and disconnect the AC cord(s).
2. Check for loose cables in the power subsystem. Also check for short circuits, for
3. Remove adapters and disconnect the cables and power connector s to al l internal
4. R econnect the AC cord and power on the server. If the server powers up
To use this method it is important to know the minimum configuration required for a server to power up (see page 100).

Recovering BIOS

If the BI O S has bec ome c orr up t ed, su ch as fr om a pow er f ai lu r e du ri n g a fl ash up dat e, you can recover the BIOS using the boot block jumper and a BIOS flash diskette. The boot block jumper selects which of two BIOS images to use. In the normal position, the jumper will be installed on pins 2 and 3. In the alternate block position, the jumper will be installed on pins 1 and 2.
Note: You can obtain a BIOS flash diskette fr om one of the following sources:
instance if there is a loose screw causing a short circuit on a circuit board.
and external devices until server is at minimum configuration required for power on (see "Minimum operating requirements" on page 100).
successfully, replace adapters and devices one at a time until the problem is isolated. If server does not power up from minimal configuration, replace FRUs of minimal configuration one at a time until the problem is isolated.
Use the ServerGuide program to make a BIOS flash diskette.
Download files to make a BIOS flash dis kette from the World Wide Web.
Go to http://www.ibm.com/support/ select IBM System Support, and then make the selections for your system.
Do the following to recover the BIOS:
1. Turn off the server and periphera l devic e s and disconnect all external cables and power cords; then, r emo ve t he side cov er, see Removing the side cover on page
40.
2. Locate jumper JROM1 on the system board.

p
14 Hardware Maintenance Manual: xSeries 200
3. Move the JROM1 jumper to the alternate position (pins 1 and 2) to enable the BIOS recovery mode.
4. Reinstall the side cove r, see Installing the cover on page 59.
5. Reconnect all external cables an d pow er cords and turn on the peripheral devices.
6. Insert the BIOS flash diskette in the diskette drive.
7. Restart the server. The BIOS begins the power-on self-test.
8. Select 1 - Update POST/BIOS from the menu that contains various flash (update) options.
9. When prompted as to whether you want to save the current code to a diskette, select N.
10. When prompted to choose a language, select a language (from 0 to 7) and press Enter to accept your choice.
11. Do not restart your server at this time.
12. Remove the BIOS flash diskette from the diskette drive.
13. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and power cords; then, r emo ve t he side cov er, see Removing the side cover on page
40.
14. Move the JROM1 ju mper to the normal position (pin s 2 and 3) to return to normal startup mode.
15. Reinstall the side cover, see Installing the cover on page 59.
16. Reconnect all external cables and power cords and turn on the peripheral devices.
17. Restart the se rver, which should start up normally.

Clearing CMOS

If you need to erase configuration information, you must move the CMOS jumper. See the illustration in Recovering BIOS on page 14 for the location of the CMOS jumper.
The default position is a jumper installed on pins 1 and 2. Before you change the position of this jumper , you must turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect all external cables and power cords . Remove the cover and then move the jumper to pins 2 and 3.
After moving the jumper, wait at least 5 minutes for the CMOS information to clear. Changing the position of this jumper erases all configuration and setup information,
including the power-on and administrator passwords. Therefore, you must reconfigure the server after clearing CMOS memory (see Ch apter . Configuring th e server, on page 29). If possible, record your server configuration information before moving the CMOS jumper.
After you clear the CMOS information, move the jumper back to its normal position (pins 1 and 2). Reconnect the external cables and power cords; then, turn on the peripheral devices and the server.

Troubleshooting the Ethernet controller

This section provides troubleshooting information for problems that might occur with the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet controller.

Network connection problems

If the Ethernet controller ca nnot connec t to the network, check the following:
Make sure that the cable is installed correctly. The network cable must be securely attached at all connections. If the cable is
attached but the problem persists, try a different cable. If you set the Ethernet contr oll er to operate at 100 Mbps, you must use Cate gory 5
cabling. If you directly connect two workstations (without a hub), or if you are not using a
hub with X ports, use a crossover cable. Note: To determine whether a hub has an X port, check the port label. If the label
contains an X, the hub has an X port.
Determine if the hub suppo rts auto-negotiation. If not, try configuring the integrated Ethernet controller manually to match the speed and duplex mode of the hub.
Check the LAN activity light (if available) on the front of the server. The LAN activity light illuminates when the Ethernet controller sends or receives data over the Ethernet network. If the LAN activity light is off, make sure that the hub and network are operating and that the correct device drivers are loaded.
Make sure that you are using the correct device drivers, supplied with your server.
Check for operating server-specific causes for the problem.
Make sure that the device drivers on the client and server are using the same
protocol.
Test the Ethernet controller. The way you test the Ethernet controller depends on which operating system you
are using (see the Ethernet controller device driver README file).

Run the network diagnostic program.
If the problem remains, call for service. Check the following:
Make sure that you have loaded the network device drivers.
The network might be idle. Try sending data from this
workstation.
Run diagnostics on the LEDs.
The function of this LED can be changed by device driver load
parameters. If necessary, remove any LED parameter settings when you load the device drivers.
Data is incorrect or sporadic.
Check the following:
Make sure that you are using Category 5 cabling when operating the server at 100 Mbps.
Make sure that the cables do not run close to noise-inducing sources like fluorescent lights.
The Ethernet controller stopped working when another adapter was added to the server.
Check the following:
Make sure that the cable is connected to the Ethernet controller.
Make sure that your PCI server BIOS is current.
Reseat the adapter.
Determine if the IRQ setting assigned to the Ethernet adapter is

it easier to lay the server on its side. If you do so, rotate the two front feet in towards the server, so they do not break off due to the weight of the server.
38 Hardware Maintenance Manual: xSeries 200
Before you place the server in an upright position, rotate the two front feet a quarter turn away from the server. For complete details, see Moving the stabilizing feet on page 40.
Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical outlets for the server, monitor, and any othe r options that you intend to install.
Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
For a list of supported options for the 200, refer to
http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/c ompat on the World Wide Web.

Working inside the server with the power on

The server is designed with safety in mind. Follow these guidelines when you work inside a server that is turne d on :
Avoid loose-fittin g 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.
Do not allow your necktie to hang inside the server.
Remove jewe lry, such as bracelets, necklaces, rings, and loos e - fitting wrist
watches.
Remove items from your shirt pocket (such as pens or pencils) that could fall into the server as you lean over it.
Avoid dropping any meta l lic ob jec ts, su ch as pape r cl ips, h air pins , or scr ews, in to the server.

System reliability considerations

To help ensure proper coo ling and syst e m reliability, make sure that:
Each of the drive bays either has a drive, or a filler panel and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shield installed.
There is space around the server to allow the server cooling system to work properly. Leave about 127 mm (5 in.) of space around the fron t and rear of the server.
Cables for optional adapters are routed according to the instructions that are provided with the adapters.
A failed fan is replaced within 1 hour.

Handling static-sensitive devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective bag un til you are ready to install them.
To reduce the po ssib ility of ele ctrostat ic disch a rge, observ e the following precautions:
Limit your movement. Movement can ca use static el e ctricity to build up around you.
Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
Do not touch so lder joints, pins, or exposed pr inted circuitry.
Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the device.
Installing options 39
While the device is still in its anti-static package, touch it to an unpainted metal part of th e sy stem unit for at least two seconds. (This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.)
Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it on its static-pro tective package. (If your device is an adapter, place it component side up.) Do not place the device on your system unit cover or on a metal table.
Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather as heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Moving the stabilizing feet

The two front feet attached to the bottom of the server rotate 90 degrees to provide additional sta bilit y.
When you need to access the inside of the server to ins tall options, you might find it easier to lay the server on its side. If you do so, rotate the feet in towards the server, so they do not break off due to the weight of the server.
When you are finished installin g option s and ha ve ins talled the side cov er, turn the two fro nt st abili zin g feet a quar ter turn out from t he s erv er and set it car ef ully bac k on its feet.

4. Pull out, about 152.4 mm (6 in.), on the end of the support bracket assembly located at the rear of the server.
5. Pull the front end of the support bracket assembly away from the server and place the assembly aside.
To reinstall the support bracket assembly, reverse the previous steps.

Working with ad ap ters

Your server comes with adapter connectors, called slots. The AGP video adapter is installed in the AGP slot. You can install up to five PCI adapters in PCI slots 1 through
5. All PCI expansion slots are 32-bit, 33 MHz slots.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware. The following illustration shows the location of the system expansion slots on the
system and PCI extender boards.
Installing options 43
AGP slot PCI slot 1
PCI slot 2 PCI slot 3 PCI slot 4
PCI slot 5

Adapter considerations

Before you install an adapter, review the following:
Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions given in thi s chapter. If you need to change the switch or jumper settings on your adapter, follow the instructio ns that come with th e adapter.
You can install full-length adapters in all five PCI expansion slots.
The 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 techni que, you can install a variety of PCI adapters that currently do not support sharing of PCI interrupts.
PCI expansion slots 1 through 5 are on PCI bus 0. The system scans the AGP slot and PCI expansi on slots 1 throu gh 5 to assign system r e sources; th e n, the system starts (boots) the PCI devices in the following order, if you have not changed the default boot seq uence: P CI ex pansi on slots 1 and 2, sy ste m board int egrat ed drive electronics (IDE) or SCSI devices, and then PCI expansion slots 3 through 5.
Note: To change the boot sequence for PCI devices, start the
Configuration/Setup Utility program, select Start Options from the main menu, select Startup Sequence; then, select Second device (SCSI) to designate the adapter boot sequence. See Chapter . Configuring the server, on page 29 for details on using the Configuration/Setup Utility program.

Ethernet connector
Your server comes with an integrated Ethernet controller. This controller provides an interface for connecting to 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps networks and provides full-duplex capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet LAN .
To access the Ethernet connector, connect a Category 3, 4, or 5 unshi elded twis ted -pair (UTP) cable to the RJ-45 connector on the rear of your server. See I/O connector locations on page 60.
Note: The 100BASE-TX Fast Ethe rnet standard requires that the cabling in the
network be Category 5.
Configuring the Ethernet controller: When you connect your server to the network, the Ethern e t controller automatically detec ts the data-transfer rate (1 0Mbps or 100 Mbps) on the network and then sets the controller to operate at the appropriate rate. In addition, if the Ethernet connector that your server is connected to supports auto-negotiation, the Ethernet c ontroller will set the appropriate duplex state. That is, the Ethernet controller will adjust to the network data rate, whether the data rate is standard Ethernet (10BASE-T), Fast Ethernet (10 0BASE-TX) , half duplex (HDX), or FDX. The controller supports HDX and FDX modes at both speeds.
The Ethernet controller is integrated on the system board. You do not need to set any jumpers or configure the controller for your operating system before you use the Ethernet controller. However, you must install a device driver to enable your operating system to address the Ethernet controller. The device drivers are provided on the ServerGuide CDs.

Failover for redundant Ethernet: The IBM 10/100 Ethernet adapter or the IBM 10/100 Etherjet™ PCI family of adapters are optional, r e dundant network interface card (NIC) adapters that you can install in your server. If you install this NIC adapter and connect it to the s ame logical segment as the primary Ethernet controller, you can configure the server to support a failover function. You can configure either the integrated Ethernet controller or the NIC adapter as the primary Ethernet controller. In failover mode, if the primary Ethernet controller detects a link failure, all Ethernet traffic that is associated with it is switched to the redundant (secondary) controller. This switching occurs without any user intervention. When the primary link is restored , the Ethernet traffic switches back to the primary Ethernet controller.
High Performance Ethernet Modes: Your Ethernet controller supports optional modes, such as teaming, priority packets, and virtual LANs, which provide higher performance and throughput for your server.
Teaming Mode: Your Ethernet controller provides options, called teaming opt io n s. These options increase throughput and fault tolerance when running with Windows NT 4.0 or NetWare 4.1x or later.
Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT) provides automatic redundancy for your adapter.
If the primary adapter fails, the secondary adapter takes ov er. Adapter fault tolerance supports from 2 to 4 adapters per team.
Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) enables you to balance the transmission data
flow among 2 to 4 adapters. ALB also includes the AFT option. You can use ALB with any 100BASE-TX switch.
Cisco Fast EtherChannel (FEC) creates a team of 2 to 4 adapters to increase
transmission and reception throughp u t. FEC also includ e s the AFT option. You can only use FEC with a switch that has FEC capability.
Teaming requires yo u to instal l a t leas t o ne addi tio nal Et hernet adapte r. For additional information about th e teami n g modes, refer to the documentat i on th at comes with these additional adapters.
Priority Packet Mode: Priority Packet is a traffic-prioritization utility that enables you to set up filters to process high-priority traffic before normal traffic. You can send information from critical nodes or applications with an indicated priority. Because you set this priority at the host or en try poin t o f the network, the network devices can base forwarding decisions on priority information defined in the packet.
Priority Packet information is available on the IBM Network ing Web site at http://www.ibm.com/networking/support
Priority Packet prioritizes traffic based on priority filters. These are parameters you assign to outgoing (transmit) pac kets. Using the Priorit y Filter Wizard, you can set u p predef ined or custom p ri o rity filte rs based on a node medium access cont rol (MAC) address, Ethernet type, or by various properties of the protocol and connector. Priority Packet provides two different methods for prioritizing traffic: IEEE 802.1p tagging and High Priority Queue.
IEEE 802.1p is a new IEEE standard for tagging, or adding additi onal bytes of information to packets with different priority l evels. Packet s ar e tagged with 4 additional bytes, which increase the packet size and indicate a priority level. When you send these packets out on the network, the higher priority packets are transferred first. Priority packet tagging (also know n as Traffic Class Expediting) enables the adapter to work with other elements of the network (such as switches and routers) to deliver priority packe ts firs t. You can assign specific priority levels from 0 (low) to 7 (high).
Y o u can ass ign val ues to packets based on thei r prior ity when y ou use the IE EE 802.1p standard for packet tagging. Th is method requires a network infra structure that
66 Hardware Maintenance Manual: xSeries 200
supports packet tagging. The routing devices receiving and transferring these packets on your network must support 802.1p for tagging to be effective.
After you set up the priority fi lter in Priority Packet, you must start IBMSet and select
802.1p/802.1Q Tagging on the Advanced tab.
Note: IEEE 802.1p tagging increases the size of the packets it tags. Some hubs and
switches will not recognize the larger packets and will drop them. Check your hub or switch documentation to see if they support 802.1p. (You can configure the switch to strip the tags from the packets and send it on to the next destination as normal traffic.) If these devices do not support 802.1p, or if you are not sure, use high priority queue (HPQ) to prioritize network traffic.
The requirements for effectively using IEEE 802.1p tagging are:
The other devices receiving and routing 802.1p tagged packets must support
802.1p.
The adapters on these devices must support 802.1p. The Ethernet controller in your xSeries 200 and all IBM 10/100 Ethernet Security Adapters support 802.1p.
The adapter cannot be assigned to an adapter team.
If you are setting up virtual local area networks (VLANs) and packet tagging on
the same adapter, 802.1p/802.1Q tagging must be enabled on the IBMSet Advanced tab.
If your n etwo rk in fras tru ctur e d evi ces do not su ppo rt IEEE 802 .1p o r you ar e no t sure, you can still define filters and send packets as high priority. While HPQ does not provide the precise priority levels of 802.1p tagging, it does assign traf fi c as either high or low priority and sends high priority packets first. Therefore, if there are multiple applications on a system sending packets, the packets from the application with a filter are sent out first. HPQ does not change network routing, nor does it add any information to the packets.
To assign HPQ, you can specify it using Priority Packet when you create or assign a filter.
To effectively use HPQ, the adapter cannot be assigned to an adapter team.
Virtual LAN Mode: A virtual LAN is a logical grouping of network devices put together as a LAN, regardless of their physical groupin g or collisio n dom ain s. Usin g VLANs increases network performance and improves network security.
VLANs offe r you the ability to group users and devices together into logical workgroups. Thi s can simplif y network admi nistration when connecting clients to servers that are geographically dispersed across the building, campus, or enterprise network.
Typically, VLANs are configured at the switch and any computer can be a member of one VLAN per installed network adapter. Your Ethernet controller supersedes this by communicating directly with the switch, enabling multiple VLANs on a single network adapter (up to 64 VLANs).
To set up VLAN membership, your Ethernet controller must be attached to a switch that has VLAN capability. You also need to use Windows NT 4.0 or later, or Novell NetWare 4.1x or later.
Notes:
1. Windows NT versions prior to 4.0 do not support VLANs.
2. VLANs require NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3.0 and the network driver interfac e specification (NDIS) driver hotfix from Microsoft.
Installing options 67
3. In Windows NT, VLANs cannot be implemented on controllers that have been configured for teaming op tions. NetWare can support team ing options and VLANs on the sa me adapters.
Complete the following steps to join a VLAN from Windows NT 4.0:
1. Create a VLAN on the switch. Use the parameters you assign there to join the VLAN from the server. Refer to your switch documentation for more information.
2. Double-click the Network icon in the Control Panel window.
3. On the Adapters tab, select the adapter you want to be on the VLAN and select Properties.
4. In IBMSet, select Join VLAN. Note that VLANs cannot be assi g ned to adapters that are already defined to have an adapter teaming option.
5. Enter the VLAN ID and VLAN name. The VLAN ID must match the VLAN ID of the switch. The ID range is from 1 to 1000. The VLAN name is for information only and does not need to match the name on the switch.
6. Select Join VLAN. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each VLAN you want the server to join. The VLANs you add are listed on the Adapters tab.
7. Select Close and restart the computer.

Note: If you install a RAID adapter, you can move the SCSI signal cable from the
SCSI connector on the SCSI adap ter to an internal channel conne ctor o n the RAID adapter to control th e internal drives from the RAID adapt er.
SCSI cabling requirements: You can install fi ve internal SCSI dev ices using the SCSI signal cable that comes with your server. If you plan to attach external SCSI devices, you must order additional SCSI cables. To select and order the correct cables for use with external devices, contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative. To recei ve an indication of SCSI hard disk drive acti vity, you must also connect the SCSI adapter to the SCSI LED (J3) connector on the system board. See System and PCI extender board options connectors on page 35 f or the location of the SCSI connector.
For information about the maximum length of a SCSI cable b e tween the terminate d ends of the cable, refer to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) SCSI standards. Adhering to these standards will help ensure that your server operates correctly.
Setting SCSI IDs: Each SCSI device connected to a SCSI controll e r must have a unique SCSI ID. This ID enab les the SCSI cont roller to iden tify the dev ice a nd en su re that different devices on the same SCSI channel do not attempt to transfer data simultaneously. SCSI devices that are connected to differ ent SCSI channel s can have duplicate SCSI IDs.
To install exter nal SCSI devices, you must first install an optional SCSI PCI adapter. Refer to the information that is provided with the device for instructions to set its SCSI ID.
Wi th a SCSI adapter installed in your server, you can use its 68-pin SCSI connector to connect different types of SCSI devices. The following table shows the pin-number assignments for the SCSI connector.
