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 the Problem Determination and Service Guide on the IBM Documentation CD for diagnostic information.

v Observe good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place removed

covers and other parts in a safe place.

v If you must start the server while the cover is removed, make sure that no one is

near the server and that no tools or other objects have been left inside the server.

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.

Chapter 2. Installing optional devices 35

v Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives. v Have a small flat-blade screwdriver available. v To view the error LEDs on the system board or internal components, use the light

path diagnostics button on the system board when the server is not connected to power.

v You do not have to turn off the server to install or replace redundant hot-swap ac

power supplies 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 or non-hot-swap optional devices or components.

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. It also indicates that non-hot-swap component that you need to turn off the server before performing any action on it.

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.

v For a list of supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/

systems/info/x86servers/serverproven/compat/us/..

System reliability guidelines

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 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 baffle installed. Operating the

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

Working 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.

36 System x3630 M4 Type 7158: Installation and User’s Guide

The server supports hot-plug, hot-add, and hot-swap devices and is designed to operate safely while it is turned on and the cover is removed. 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 might 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

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.

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

indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Installing 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:

v To confirm that the server supports the DIMM that you are installing, see

http://www.ibm.com/systems/info/x86servers/serverproven/compat/us/. for a list of supported memory modules for the server.

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), 1066,

1333, or 1600 MHz, synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) registered dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) with error correcting code (ECC).

Chapter 2. Installing optional devices 71

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) 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

wwwww is the DIMM bandwidth, in MBps

6400 = 6.40 GBps (PC3-800 SDRAMs, 8-byte primary data bus) 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 = 12.80 GBps PC3-1600 SDRAMs, 8-byte primary data bus) 14900 = 14.93 GBps PC3-1866 SDRAMS, 8-byte primary data bus) 17000 = 17.06 GBps (PC3-2133 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 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 dd is the revision number of the reference design of the DIMM

v Do not install registered and unbuffered DIMMs in the same server. v The server supports 1.35-volt (low-voltage) and 1.5-volt DIMMs. v The server supports a maximum of 12 DIMMs (single-rank, dual-rank, or

quad-rank) on the base system board. If you mix single-rank, dual-rank, or quad-rank DIMMs in the server, quad-rank DIMMs must be installed first. When one quad-rank DIMM is installed, it must be installed in DIMM slot 1.

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 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

72 System x3630 M4 Type 7158: Installation and User’s Guide

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 2 GB and a maximum of 384

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 Chapter 3, “Configuring the server,” on page 95

v The following table shows the DIMM connectors that are associated with each

microprocessor:

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 The server provide single-socket memory mirroring support. Memory channel 2 is

mirrored exactly to channel 3. This mirroring provides redundancy in memory but reduces the total memory capacity to one third. Channel 1 DIMM connectors 1, 2, 7, and 8 are not used in memory-mirroring mode.

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.

v The server supports independent mode, rank sparing mode, and mirroring mode.

Memory mirroring

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 99. 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

v The maximum available memory is reduced to one third of the installed memory

v Channel 1 DIMM connectors 1, 2, 7, and 8 are not used in memory-mirroring

Rank sparing

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.

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:
