Installation guidelines

Before you install options, read the following information:

vRead the safety information that begins on page v, the guidelines in ???Working inside the server with the power on??? on page 8, and ???Handling static-sensitive devices??? on page 9. This information will help you work safely.

vObserve good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place.

vIf 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.

vDo 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.

vMake sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical outlets for the server, monitor, and other devices.

vBack up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.

vHave a small flat-blade screwdriver available.

vYou do not have to turn off the server to install or replace hot-swap power supplies, hot-swap fans, or hot-plug Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices.

vBlue 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.

vOrange 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 and installing a specific hot-swap component for any additional procedures that you might have to perform before you remove or install the component.

vWhen you have to access the inside of the server, you might find it easier to lay the server on its side. Before laying the server on its side, rotate the two front stabilizing feet a quarter turn inward toward the server, so that they do not break. Before returning the server to an upright position, rotate the front stabilizing feet a quarter turn outward from the server.

vWhen you are finished working on the server, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires.

vFor a list of supported options for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/ eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.

System reliability guidelines

To help ensure proper system cooling and system reliability, make sure that the following requirements are met:

vEach of the drive bays has a drive or a filler panel and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shield installed in it.

vThere 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.

vYou have followed the cabling instructions that come with optional adapters.

vYou have replaced a failed fan within 48 hours.

vYou have replaced a hot-swap drive within 2 minutes of removal.

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 could result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with the power on.

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.

vAvoid 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.

vDo not allow your necktie or scarf to hang inside the server.

vRemove jewelry, such as bracelets, necklaces, rings, and loose-fitting wrist watches.

vRemove items from your shirt pocket, such as pens and pencils, that could fall into the server as you lean over it.

vAvoid dropping any metallic objects, such as paper clips, hairpins, and screws, into the server.

8 xSeries 206m Types 8485 and 8490: Installation Guide

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 electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:

vLimit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.

vThe 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.

vHandle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.

vDo not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.

vDo not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.

vWhile 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.

vRemove 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.

vTake additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive in bay 4, 5, 6, or 7

This procedure applies only to server models that have hot-swap hard disk drives. Some server models come with SAS or SATA hot-swap hard disk drives. Before you install a hot-swap hard disk drive, read the following information:

vThe hot-swap drives must be either all SAS hard disk drives or all SATA hard disk drives; the two types cannot be combined.

vInspect the drive tray for signs of damage.

vMake sure that the drive is correctly installed in the tray.

vTo 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 drive bay.

vYou do not have to turn off the server to install hot-swap drives in the hot-swap drive bays.

The server hot-swap bays are connected to a SAS/SATA backplane. This backplane, also known as the hot-swap-drive backplane, is the printed circuit board behind these bays.

Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered-on might cause the server to stop, which could result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with the power on.

Note: If you install the maximum number of hot-swap hard disk drives (four), remove the EMC shield that is attached inside the lower bezel.

Power and signal cables for internal drives

The server uses cables to connect parallel IDE, simple-swap SATA, and SAS devices to the power supply and to the system board. (For the location of the system-board connectors, see the User???s Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.) Review the following information before connecting power and signal cables to internal drives:

vThe drives that are preinstalled in the server come with power and signal cables attached. If you replace any drives, remember which cable is attached to which drive.

vWhen you install a drive, make sure that one of the signal cable drive connectors is connected to the drive and that the connector at the other end of the signal cable is connected to the system board.

vIf you have only one IDE device on a cable, it must be set as a master device.

vIf two IDE devices are used on a single cable, one must be designated as the master device and the other as the subordinate device; otherwise, the server might not recognize some of the IDE devices. The master and subordinate designation is determined by switch or jumper settings on each IDE device.

The following cables are provided:

vPower cables: Four-wire power cables connect the drives to the power supply. At the end of these cables are plastic connectors that can be attached to different drives; these connectors vary in size. Use either a four-wire power cable or SATA power cable with SATA drives, but do not use both at the same time (use one or the other).

vSignal cables: Signal cables are typically flat cables, also called ribbon cables, that connect parallel IDE, SATA, SAS, and diskette drives to the system board. Two or three types of signal cables come with the server:

???IDE: The wider IDE signal cable has three connectors. One of these connectors is attached to the drive, one is a spare, and the third is attached to the primary or secondary IDE connector on the system board. The spare connector can be used to connect an additional IDE drive to the server.

The CD-ROM drive is attached to an ATA 100 signal cable. ATA 100 signal cables are color-coded. The blue connector is attached to the system board. The black connector is attached to the master IDE device. The gray middle connector is attached to the subordinate IDE device.

24 xSeries 206m Types 8485 and 8490: Installation Guide

???(Optional) Diskette drive: The narrower signal cable has two connectors. One is attached to the diskette drive, and the other is connected to the connector (FDD1) on the system board.

???SATA: The narrower, black signal cable has two connectors. One is connected to the non-hot-swap SATA drive, and the other is attached to the connector on the system board.

Simple-swap SATA models come with four SATA cables that are already connected to the system board and the back panel at the rear of the simple-swap drives.

Hot-swap SATA models come with a single data cable that connects the SAS/SATA controller to the hot-swap backplane. This cable provides inherent connectivity for the four SATA drives that the server supports. Therefore, additional cabling is not required for these drives.

???SAS: Hot-swap SAS models come with a single data cable that connects the SAS/SATA controller to the hot-swap backplane. This cable provides inherent connectivity for the four SAS drives that the server supports. Therefore, additional cabling is not required for these drives.

For more information about the requirements for SAS cable and connecting SAS devices, see the documentation that comes with these devices.

For a list of supported options for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/ eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.

Installing an adapter

The following notes describe the types of adapters that the server supports and other information that you must consider when installing an adapter.

vLocate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this section. If you need to change the switch setting or jumper settings on the adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter.

vRead the documentation that comes with your .

vThe server comes with two PCI slots and two PCI Express slots on the main system board. If your model comes with the optional PCI-X expansion card, it provides two PCI-X slots.

vYou can install full-length adapters that are included in the ServerProven list in slots 1 through 6 (depending on your model).

vThe 32-bit slots 3 and 4 support 5.0 V keyed PCI adapters; they do not support 3.3 V keyed adapters. Universal adapters are supported in slots 3 and 4 if they are universally keyed and the server is not a hot-swap model. If you are installing 64-bit adapters in a hot-swap model, you must install them only in slots 5 and 6.

vAn optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II can be installed only in the following slots: PCI slots 3 and 4. Use the ribbon cable that comes with this adapter to connect it to the Remote Supervisor Adapter II cable connector on the system board. For additional information, see the documentation that comes with this adapter.

vWhen you start the server for the first time after installing a Remote Supervisor Adapter II, the startup process will take several minutes longer than a typical startup.

vIf you install an optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II, you must disconnect the video cable from the system board and connect it to the optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II.

vThe optional ServeRAID-8i adapter can be installed only in PCI-X slot 6.

Chapter 2. Installing options 25

vThe server scans PCI Express x1 slot 2, PCI Express x8 slot 1, and PCI slots 3 and 4 to assign system resources. If the optional PCI-X expansion card is attached to the system board, the server also scans PCI-X slots 5 and 6 to assign additional system resources. Then, the server starts the PCI devices in the following order, if you have not changed the default startup sequence: PCI Express x8 slot 1, PCI-X slot 5 (optional), PCI-X slot 6 (optional), PCI Express x1 slot 2, PCI slot 3, and PCI slot 4.

vFor a list of supported options for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/ eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.

For the locations of the expansion slots on the system board and the optional PCI-X expansion card, see the User???s Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.

Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered-on might cause the server to stop, which could result in the loss of data.
