Chapter 2. Installing options

This chapter provides the basic information needed to install options in your server. This section is for all users, but it is written with the experienced user in mind. If you need more detailed installation information, see the Option Installation Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.

Installation guidelines

Be sure to review the information in this section before you begin.

System reliability considerations

Before you begin to install options in your server, read the following information:

v Become familiar with the information provided in “Safety” on page v and

“Handling static-sensitive devices”. These guidelines will help you work safely

while working with your server options.

v Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical

outlets for your server, monitor, and any other options that you intend to install.

v Back up all important data before you make changes to hard disk drives. v For a list of supported options for your server, go to

http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/ on the World Wide Web.

v To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 10

minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed in each bay.

v During normal operation, each power-supply bay must have either a power

supply or power-supply blank installed for proper cooling.

v Do not leave open spaces above or below an installed server in your rack

cabinet. To help prevent damage to server components, always install a blank filler panel to cover the open space and to help ensure proper air circulation. See the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for more information.

Working inside the server with the power on

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

v Avoid 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 or pencils) that could fall into

the server as you lean over it.

v Avoid dropping any metallic objects, such as paper clips, hair pins, or screws,

into the server.

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 packages until you are ready to install them.

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

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

you.

v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame. v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry. v Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the

device.

v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted

metal part of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.)

v 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 in its static-protective package. Do not place the device on your system unit cover or on a metal table.

v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather because heating

reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Installing adapters

This section describes how to install PCI or PCI-X adapters. Before you continue with the adapter-installation procedure, review the following:

v To ensure system reliability, an optional SCSI adapter cannot control internal

hard disk drives.

v You can install only low-profile adapters in slots 1 and 2. v You can install standard full-length adapters, with the adapter guides removed

from the adapters, in slots 3 and 4.

v You can install only a half-length adapter in slot 5. v The optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter can be installed only in PCI slot 5.

Use the ribbon cable that comes with the adapter to connect the adapter to the system management connector on the PCI riser card.

v Your server supports 5.0 V and universal PCI adapters in the 32-bit PCI slot 5;

your server supports only 3.3 V and universal PCI adapters in the 64-bit PCI/PCI-X slots 3 and 4.

v The PCI bus configuration is:

– Non-hot-plug, 64-bit PCI-X slots 1 through 2 (PCI bus A, 100 MHz) – Non-hot-plug, 64-bit PCI-X slots 3 through 4 (PCI bus B, 133 MHz) – Non-hot-plug, 32-bit PCI slot 5 (PCI bus C, 33 MHz)

v The system scans PCI and PCI-X slots 1 through 5 to assign system resources;

then, the system starts (boots) the system devices in the following order, if you have not changed the default boot precedence: integrated Ethernet controller, integrated SCSI controller, and then PCI and PCI-X slots 5, 3, 4, 1, and 2.

Note: If you are installing the optional ServeRAID-5i controller, please review the

following: v No rerouting of the internal SCSI cable is required if you are installing the

ServeRAID-5i controller. The ServeRAID-5i controller uses the SCSI connector on the system board for output.

v The ServeRAID-5i controller can be installed only in PCI slot 2. v The low-profile 2-U bracket that comes with the controller is required to

install the controller.

6 IBM xSeries 345 Type 8670: Installation Guide

v If the ServeRAID-5i controller is installed, it takes control of the integrated

SCSI controller with RAID capabilities and operates at 66 MHz.

This section contains the procedure for installing an adapter. For more detailed instructions, see the Option Installation Guide on the xSeries Documentation CD.

The following illustrations show the location of the PCI and PCI-X adapter expansion slots on the system board and PCI riser card.

Note: Make sure that the PCI riser-card assembly is properly seated on the

system-board connector and that the cables under the PCI riser-card assembly are not pinched.

8. Connect any needed cables to the adapter. Attention: When you route the cables, do not block the ventilated space

around any of the fans. In addition, route any cables that are plugged into the PCI adapter under adjacent adapters so they are not pinched between the top edge of the adapter and the server side wall.

9. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to “Completing the installation” on page 17.

Installing memory modules

When you install memory, you must install a pair of matched double-data-rate (DDR) dual-inline-memory modules (DIMMs). Before you install memory, review the following:

v The system board contains four DIMM connectors and supports two-way memory

interleaving.

v The DIMM options available for your server are 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB. v The amount of usable memory will be reduced, depending on the system

configuration. The BIOS will display the total amount of installed memory and the amount of configured memory.

v Your server supports a minimum of two 256 MB DIMMs (for a total of 512 MB)

installed in the DIMM 1 and DIMM 2 memory connectors (J1 and J2, respectively). When you install additional DIMMs, install them in pairs, with the next pair in DIMM connectors 3 and 4 (J3 and J4).

v Both DIMMs in a pair must be the same size, speed, type, and technology. You

can mix compatible DIMMs from various manufacturers.

Chapter 2. Installing options 9

v The second pair of DIMMs do not have to be of the same size, speed, type, and

technology as the first pair.

v Install only 100 MHz, 2.5 V, 184-pin, double-data-rate (DDR), PC2100, registered

synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) with error correcting code (ECC) DIMMs. These DIMMs must be compatible with the latest PC2100 (and downward compatible with PC1600) SDRAM Registered DIMM specification, which is available from http://www.jedec.org/ on the World Wide Web. For a list of supported options for your server, go to http://www.ibm.com/us/compat/ on the World Wide Web.

™

v Your server supports Chipkill

technology, if the DIMMs are all of the type 4x.

v Save new configuration information only if you replace a faulty DIMM that was

marked as Disabled in the Configuration/Setup Utility program Memory Settings menu. In this case, re-enable the memory row in the Configuration/Setup Utility program or reload the default memory settings. See the User’s Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD for more information.
