34 System x3100 M5 Type 5457: Installation and Service Guide

Installation guidelines

Use the installation guidelines to install the IBM System x3100 M5 Type 5457.

Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered-on might cause the system 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 removing or installing a hot-swap device.

Before you install optional devices, read the following information: v Read the safety information in “Safety” on page vii and the guidelines in

“Working inside the server with the power on” on page 37, and “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 37. This information will help you work safely.

v Make sure that the devices that you are installing are supported. For a list of

supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/systems/ info/x86servers/serverproven/compat/us.

v When you install your new server, take the opportunity to download and apply

the most recent firmware updates. This step will help to ensure that any known issues are addressed and that your server is ready to function at maximum levels of performance. To download firmware updates for your server, go to http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral.

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 DSA Preboot diagnostic programs” on page 138 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. v Have a small flat-blade screwdriver available.

Chapter 2. Installing optional devices 35

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.

System reliability guidelines

The system reliability guidelines to ensure proper system cooling.

To help ensure proper system cooling and system reliability, make sure that the following requirements are met:

v Each of the drive bays has a drive or a filler panel and electromagnetic

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. Operating the server for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes) with the server cover removed might damage server components.

v You have followed the cabling instructions that come with optional adapters. v You have replaced a failed fan as soon as possible. v You have replaced a hot-swap drive within 2 minutes of removal. v You do not operate the server without the air baffle installed. Operating the

server without the air baffle might cause the microprocessor to overheat.

36 System x3100 M5 Type 5457: Installation and Service Guide

Working inside the server with the power on

Guidelines to work inside the server with the power on.

Attention: 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.

The server supports hot-plug, hot-add, and hot-swap devices and is designed to operate safely while it is turned on and the server cover is removed. Follow these guidelines when you work inside a server that is turned on:

Note: In order to work inside the server with the power on, you have to disable the power cut-off switch before removing the server cover.

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 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, touch it 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 cover or on a metal surface.

Chapter 2. Installing optional devices 37

v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating

reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Installing a memory module

Use this information to install a memory module

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 (see “System-board internal connectors” on page 30).

If you are replacing a memory module, make sure that: v The server supports industry-standard, 1066, 1333 and 1600 MHz, PC3-12800

(single-rank or dual-rank) double-data-rate 3 (DDR3), registered or unbuffered, synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) with error correcting code (ECC). For a list of supported options for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/systems/info/x86servers/ serverproven/compat/us; then, select your country and navigate to the list of options for the server.

v The maximum amount of memory that the server supports is dependent on the

type of memory that you install in the server.

v 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 “Using the Setup utility” on page 98.

v The maximum operating speed of the server is determined by the slowest

DIMM in the server.

v If you install a pair of DIMMs in DIMM connectors 1 and 3, the size and speed

of the DIMMs that you install in DIMM connectors 1 and 3 must match each other. However, they do not have to be the same size and speed as the DIMMs that are installed in DIMM connectors 2 and 4.

v You can use compatible DIMMs from various manufacturers in the same pair. 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.

Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered-on might cause the server to stop, which could result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with the power on.

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 where: – ggg is the total capacity of the DIMM (for example, 1GB, 2GB, or 4GB) – e is the number of ranks

- 1 = single-rank

- 2 = dual-rank

- 4 = quad-rank

– ff is the device organization (bit width)

- 4 = x4 organization (4 DQ lines per SDRAM)

- 8 = x8 organization

- 16 = x16 organization

44 System x3100 M5 Type 5457: Installation and Service Guide

– wwwww is the DIMM bandwidth, in MBps

- 8500 = 8.53 GBps (PC3-1066 SDRAMs, 8-byte primary data bus)

- 10600 = 10.66 GBps (PC3-1333 SDRAMs, 8-byte primary data bus)

- 12800 = 12.8 GBps (PC3-1600 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) – aa is the 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 xxxxx nRxxx PC3-xxxxx-xx-xx-xxx. The numeral in the sixth numerical position indicates whether the DIMM is single-rank (n=1) or dual-rank (n=2).
