Notices used in this book

This information product contains notices that relate to a specific topic. The Caution and Danger notices also appear in the multilingual safety information provided with your product. Each safety notice is number ed fo r ea sy reference to the corresponding notices in the safety information on the documentation CD.

The following is a list of the notices and their definitions as used in this book:

• Notes: These notices provide important tips, guidance, or advice.

•Impor tant: These notices provide informatio n or advice that might help you

avoid inconvenient or problem situations.

• Attention: These notices indicate possible damage to programs, devices, or

data. An attention notice is placed just before the instruction or situation in which damage could occur.

• Caution: These notices indicate situations that can be potentially hazardous to

you. A caution notice is placed just before the description of potentially hazardous procedure s t ep or situation.

• Danger: These notices indicate situations that can be potentially lethal or

extremely hazardous to you. A danger notice is placed just before the description of potentially lethal or extremely hazardous procedure step or situation.

Chapter 1. Introduction 3

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 until you are ready to install them.

To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:

• Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.

• Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame

• Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.

• Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the device.

• While the device is still in its anti-static package, touch it to an unpa inted metal part of the system 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-protective 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.

Chapter 2. Installing Options

This chapter provides basic information that is needed to install hardware options in your server . For more detailed installation information, ref er to the User’s R efer ence on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.

Working with adapters

Y our server comes with two peripheral component inter connect (PCI) adapter slots on the system board with riser cards installed in them.

Attention: Your server comes with an integrated video controller on the system board. When you install a video adapter in a PCI slot, the server BIOS automatically disables the integrated video controller. This allows the video adapter in the PCI slot to control the video functions for your monitor.

The following illustration shows the location of the 33 MHz PCI expan sion slots on the system board.

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

PCI slot 2 64 bit 33 MHz (J23)

PCI slot 1 64 bit 33 MHz (J10)

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 instructions in this chapter. If you need to change the switch settings or jumper settings on your ada pter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter.

• You can install 32-bit or 64-bit full-length or half-length adapters in the expansion slots. Full-length adapters are installed in slot 1; half-length adapters are installed in either slot 1 or 2.

• Your server supports 5.0V and universal PCI adapters; it does not support 3.3V only adapters.

• Your server uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI adapters. Because of this technique, you can install PCI ad apters that currently do not support sharing of PCI interrupts.

• PCI slots 1 and 2 and the integrated SCSI controller are on PCI bus B; the system board and all other integrated devices are on PCI bus A.

Note: PCI bus A = bus 0; PCI bus B = bus 1.

• The system scans PCI slots 1 and 2 to assign system resources. By default, the system starts (boots) devices in the following order: System SCSI devices, then PCI devices.

Note: To change the boot precedence, start the Configuration/Setup Utility,

select Start Options from the main menu. Then, select the PCI SCSI adapter boot option.

Installing an adapter

Complete the following steps to install an adapter: Attention: When you handle electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive devices, take

precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, refer to “Handling static sensitive devices” on page 4.

1. Review the safety precautions beginning on page v.

2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices.

3. Remove all external cables from the server; then, remove the server fr om the rack and remove the cover as shown. For more information on removing the cover, refer to the User’s Reference on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.

Screws

4. Remove the expansion slot clip that holds the expansion slot cover in place by sliding it upward and off the frame of the server.

5. Remove the expansion-slot cover.

6. Refer to the documentation that comes with your adapter for any cabling instructions.

Attention: You should route adapter cables before you install the adapter.

Note: When installing a ServeRAID adapter, remove the cable from the SCSI

connector (J4) on the system board and attach it to the ServeRAID adapter.

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

8. Install the adapter: Note: When installing an adapter into slot 2, skip steps a and d.

a. Open the adapter retention latch by pushing the blue tab to release it. Then,

push the latch up to the full open position.

b. Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners, and align it with

the connector on the PCI riser card.

c. Press t he adapter firmly into the riser-card connector.

Attention: When you install an adapter, be sure the adapter is correctly seated in the riser-card connector before you turn on the server. Improperly seated adapters might cause damage to the system board, the riser card, or the adapter.

Chapter 2. Installing Options 9

d. Push down on the blue adapter retention latch until it clicks into place,

securing the adapter.

e. Replace the expansion slot clip by slidin g it down until it latches into place

and holds the adapter securely.

9. Connect the internal cables to the adapter.

Attention: Route cables so that they do not block the flow of air from the fans.

10. If you have other options to install, install them now.

11. Replace the cover on the server; then, reinstall the server in the rack and connect all external cables. For more information on re placing the cover, r efer to the User’ s Reference on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.

12. Turn on the server.

Working with memory

Your xSeries 330 server supports 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB , and 1 GB DIMMs. See the ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat for a list of memory modules for use with your server.

Memory considerations

Before you install memory, review the following: Install additional DIMMs in the following order: DIMM connector 2, then 3, then 4.

(See the following illustration for memory connector locations.)
