Chapter 2. Installing Options This chapter provides basic information that is needed to install hardware options in your server. For more detailed installation information, refer to the User’s Reference on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD. Working with adapters Your server comes with two peripheral component interconnect (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.
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 adapter, 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.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware. Expansion slot clip Adapter card Retention latch Tab Expansion slot cover Expansion slot 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.
d. Push down on the blue adapter retention latch until it clicks into place, securing the adapter. e. Replace the expansion slot clip by sliding 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. ServeRAID adapter card Extra cable length SCSI connector (J4) 10. If you have other options to install, install them now. 11.
Connector 1 Connector 2 Connector 3 Connector 4 Installing memory modules Complete the following steps to install a DIMM: 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 from the rack and remove the cover. For more information on removing the cover, refer to the User’s Reference on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.
Connector 1 Connector 2 Connector 3 Connector 4 Note: If you have other options to install, install them now. 7. Replace the cover on the server; then, reinstall the server in the rack and connect all external cables. For more information on replacing the cover, refer to the User’s Reference on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD. 8. Turn on the server.
Working with hard disk drives Your server supports two, 1-inch (26 mm) slim 3.5-inch low voltage differential (LVD) hard disk drives. If a ServeRAID adapter configured in a RAID 1 configuration is installed in your system, you can hot swap hard disk drives. Note: Refer to the User’s Reference on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD for information on ServeRAID adapters and hot swapping hard disk drives.
3. Remove the filler panel or defective hard drive from one of the hard disk drive bays. 4. Install the new hard disk drive in the drive bay: a. Ensure the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the drive). b. Align the rails on the drive assembly with the guide rails in the drive bay. c. Gently push the drive assembly into the bay until the drive connects to the backplane. d. Push the tray handle toward the closed position until it locks the drive in place. 5.
Microprocessor considerations Before you install a microprocessor, review the following: • Ensure that the microprocessors are the same type, and have the same cache size, and have the same clock speed. • Ensure that the microprocessor internal and external clock frequencies are identical. • See the ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat for a list of microprocessors for use with your server.
Slot Heatsink release lever Clip Heatsink Top view of heatsink Microprocessor Terminator card 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.
Working with cables Your server has two different cabling options, the Advanced System Management bus (ASM) and the cable chain technology (C2T). The following sections discuss each of these options. While reading about these options, keep in mind that they are independent of each other. Note: Refer to the following illustration to locate the connectors on the back of your server. The ASM ports on the back of the server will be referred to in this book as RS-485 (A) and RS-485 (B).
Connecting the ASM bus The servers in the Advanced System Management (ASM) bus are referenced by their assigned addresses and not their position in the rack. Complete the following steps to connect the ASM bus: 1. Turn off the servers. 2. Locate the RS-485 ports on the rear of the servers and several cables with RJ-14 connectors on both ends. 3.
Connecting the servers with a C2T chain To share the same monitor, keyboard, and pointing device with several servers, you must connect the servers together with Cable Chain Technology (C2T) chaining cables through the Console (In) and Console (Out) ports. Before you begin, review the following: • You can connect a maximum of 40 servers with the C2T chaining cables. • When connecting servers on two separate racks, you must use a C2T chaining cable that is 2-m (6.5 ft.
Complete the following steps to connect the servers: 1. Gather several of the C2T chaining cables. Note: Your server comes with a short C2T chaining cable that can span approximately 3 U’s, if needed. A longer C2T cable is available in the C2T cable kit. 2. Connect the servers together: a. Connect one end of the C2T chaining cable to the Console (Out) port of the top server. b. Connect the opposite end of the C2T chaining cable to the Console (In) port of the server below it.
Testing the C2T chain After connecting the C2T chain, you will need to test the monitor, keyboard, and pointing device to be sure that they work with each of the servers. Follow these steps to test the C2T cabling: 1. With the servers powered up and the monitor on, press the select button on server 1 in the C2T chain. 2. Check the monitor to see if it is working. 3. Use the mouse or pointing device to open an application. 4. Test your keyboard by typing a few words within an application. 5.

Chapter 3. Server power, controls and indicators This chapter describes how to turn on and turn off the server, and what the controls and indicators mean. Turning on the server Turning on the server refers to the act of plugging the power cord of your server into the power source and starting the operating system. Complete the following steps to turn the server on: 1. Plug the power cord of your server into the power source.
Turning off the server Turning off the server refers to the act of disconnecting the server from the power source. Complete the following steps to turn off the server: 1. Refer to your operating system documentation for the proper procedure to shut down the operating system. Note: Each operating system is different. Some will allow an immediate shut down, while others require an orderly shut-down procedure. 2. Press the power control button on the front of the server.
Server controls and indicators This section identifies the controls and indicators on the front and the back of your server.
Rear view Ethernet 1 speed indicator (green) Ethernet 1 link indicator (green) Console port out Advanced systems management RS-485 Select light (green) USB 2 Serial port USB 1 Ethernet 2 link Console port in Ethernet 2 speed indicator (green) indicator (green) Power-on light (green) System error light (amber) Ethernet 1 speed indicator: This green LED lights when the speed of the Ethernet LAN that is connected to Ethernet port 1 is 100 Mbps.
Chapter 4. Configuring your server The following configuration programs are provided with your server: • Configuration/Setup Utility The Configuration/Setup Utility program is part of the basic input/output system (BIOS) code that comes with your server. You can use this program to configure serial port assignments, change interrupt request (IRQ) settings, change the drive startup sequence, set the date and time, and set passwords.
Using the ServerGuide CDs The ServerGuide CDs provide state-of-the-art programs to detect the server model and hardware options that are installed, configure server hardware, provide device drivers, and install your network operating system (NOS). Note: If the ServerGuide CD does not start, see “ServerGuide startup problems” on page 32. 1. Insert the Setup and Installation CD, and restart the server. 2. Follow the on-screen instructions to: a. Select your language. b.
