Installing an adapter<br />
The following notes describe the types of adapters that the server supports and<br />
other information that you must consider when you install an adapter. Adapter that<br />
the server supports might vary, depending on your server model.<br />
v Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those<br />
instructions in addition to the instructions in this section. If you must change the<br />
switch setting or jumper settings on the adapter, follow the instructions that come<br />
with the adapter.<br />
v Read the documentation that comes with your operating system.<br />
v The server comes with the following adapter connectors or slots:<br />
– Slot 1, PCIe2 x8 (x8, x4, x1) 25W<br />
– Slot 2, PCIe2 x8 (x8, x4, x1) 25W<br />
– Slot 3, PCIe2 x1 10W<br />
– Slot 4, PCI 32bit, 33MHz<br />
– Slot 5, PCI 32bit, 33MHz<br />
Note: If you are installing Intel Ethernet Quad Port Server Adapter I340-T4 (part<br />
number 49Y4240), you can only install the adaptor in slot 1 or slot 2.<br />
v Some server models come with a ServeRAID-BR10il v2 SAS/SATA RAID<br />
controller installed. The ServeRAID-BR10il v2 controller enables integrated RAID<br />
levels-0 and level-1.<br />
v The optional ServeRAID-MR10i adapter can be purchased and supports RAID<br />
levels 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10. The optional ServeRAID-MR10is VAULT adapter with an<br />
encryption 1078 DE chip set can be purchased and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5,<br />
6, and 10. For configuration information, see the ServeRAID documentation at<br />
http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/.<br />
v The optional ServeRAID-MR10i SAS/SATA controller and the optional<br />
ServeRAID-MR10is VAULT controller must be installed in slot 1 or slot 2 (PCI<br />
Express x8).<br />
v You can install full-length adapters that are included in the ServerProven ® list in<br />
slots 3 through 5 (depending on your model).<br />
v The 32-bit slots 4 and 5 support 5.0 V keyed PCI adapters; they do not support<br />
3.3 V keyed adapters. Universal adapters are supported in slots 4 and 5 if they<br />
are universally keyed.<br />
v The server scans PCI Express Gen 2 x8 (x8) slot 1, PCI Express Gen 2 x8 (x8)<br />
slot 2, PCI Express Gen 2 x4 (x4) slot 3, and PCI slots 4 and 5 to assign system<br />
resources. Then, the server starts the PCI devices in the following order, if you<br />
have not changed the default startup sequence: PCI Express Gen 2 x8 (x8) slot<br />
1, PCI Express Gen 2 x8 (x8) slot 2, PCI Express Gen 2 x4 (x4) slot 3, PCI slot<br />
4, and PCI slot 5.<br />
v For a list of supported options for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/<br />
eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.<br />
To install an adapter, complete the following steps.<br />
Note: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the<br />
server is powered-on might cause the server to stop, which might result in the loss<br />
of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist<br />
strap or other grounding system when you work inside the server with the power<br />
on.<br />
