The IBM xSeries Documentation CD
The IBM xSeries Documentation CD contains documentation for your server in
Portable Document Format (PDF) and includes the IBM Documentation Browser to
help you find information quickly.
Hardware and software requirements
The IBM xSeries Documentation CD requires the following minimum hardware and
software:
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 (with Service Pack 3 or later), Windows 98, or
Windows 2000, or Red Hat Linux.

Acrobat Reader software is included on the documentation CD, and you can
install it when you run the IBM Documentation Browser.
Using the Documentation Browser
Use the Documentation Browser to browse the contents of the documentation CD,
read brief descriptions of the books, and view books using Adobe Acrobat Reader
xpdf. The Documentation Browser automatically detects the regional settings in
use in your system and displays the books in the language for that region (if
available). If a book is not available in the language for that region, the English
version is displayed.
Use one of the following procedures to start the Documentation Browser:
Autostart is enabled, insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive. The
Documentation Browser starts automatically.
Autostart is disabled or is not enabled for all users:
you are using a Windows operating system, insert the CD into your
CD-ROM drive; then, click Start --> Run. In the Open field, type
e:\win32.bat
where e is the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive, and click OK.
you are using Red Hat Linux, insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive and
run the following command from the /mnt/cdrom directory:
runlinux.sh
Select your server from the Product menu. The Available Topics list displays all
the books for your server. Some books might be in folders. A plus sign (+) indicates
each folder or book that has additional books under it. Click the plus sign to display
the additional books.
When you select a book, a description of the book appears under Topic
Description. To select more than one book, press and hold the Ctrl key while you
select the books. Click View Book to view the selected book or books in Acrobat
Reader or xpdf. If you selected more than one book, all the selected books are
opened in Acrobat Reader or xpdf.

Major components of the xSeries 206 Type 8482 server
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.
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.

Chapter 2. Installing options
This chapter provides basic instructions for installing hardware options in your
server. These instructions are intended for users who are experienced with setting
IBM server hardware. If you need more detailed instructions, see the Option
Installation Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.
Installation guidelines
Before you begin installing options in your server, read the following information:
Read the safety information beginning on page vii and the guidelines in “Handling
static-sensitive devices” on page 14. This information will help you work safely
with your server and options.
Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical
outlets for your server, monitor, and other devices that you will connect to the
server.
Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
Have a small flat-blade screwdriver available.
You do not need to turn off the server to install or replace hot-swap drives or
hot-plug Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices.
Blue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the component
remove it from or install it in the server, open or close a latch, and so on.
Orange on a component or 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 and installing a specific
hot-swap component for any additional procedures that you might have to
perform before you remove or install the component.
When you need to access the inside of the server to install options, you might
find it easier to lay the server on its side.
For a list of supported options for your server, go to
http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/.
System reliability guidelines
help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that:
Each of the drive bays has a drive or a filler panel and electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) shield installed in it.
There is adequate space around the server to allow the server cooling system to
work properly. Leave approximately 50 mm (2 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 turning on the server.
Operating the server for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes) with
the server cover removed might damage server components.
When installing the server in a rack, make sure that space is available around
the server to enable the server cooling system to work properly. See the
documentation that comes with the rack for additional information.
You have followed the cabling instructions that come with optional adapters.
You have replaced a failed fan within 48 hours.
You have replaced a hot-swap drive within 2 minutes of its removal.

Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices, including your server.
avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages
until you are ready to install them.
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.
not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.
not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal part of the server for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from
the package and from your body.
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 your server cover or on
metal surface.
Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces
indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Removing the side cover
Complete the following steps to remove the server side cover:
Review the safety information beginning on page vii and the “Installation
guidelines” on page 13.
Turn off the server and all attached devices (see “Turning off the server” on
page 44); then, disconnect all power cords and external cables.
Lay the server on its side.
Unlock the side cover; then, pull the cover-release latch away from the server
and push the cover toward the rear of the server. Lift the side cover off the
server and set it aside.
replace the side cover, see “Replacing the side cover” on page 38.
Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, replace the cover before turning on the
server. Operating the server for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes)
with the cover removed might damage server components.

Removing the bezel
When working with some devices, such as additional optical drives, you must first
remove the bezel to access the device.
Complete the following steps to remove the bezel:
Unlock the side-cover lock.
Remove the side cover (see “Removing the side cover” on page 15).
Locate the bezel-release lever; then, press the bezel-release lever toward the
front of the server.
Pull the top of the bezel away from the chassis; then, push the bezel down to
disengage the bottom tabs.
Remove the bezel from the server and store the bezel in a safe place.
For instructions for replacing the bezel, see “Replacing the bezel” on page 38.
