Attention: To avoid damage to the hard disk drive connectors, make sure that the cover is in place and fully closed whenever you install or remove a hard disk drive. 1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 11. 2. Make sure that the server cover is in place and fully closed. 3. Remove the filler panel from the bay. Store it in a safe place for possible future use. Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 10 minutes without either a drive or filler panel installed in each bay. 4. Open the drive tray handle. 5. Gently push the drive assembly into the bay until the drive stops. 6. Close the drive tray handle. 7. Check the hard disk drive status LED to make sure that the hard disk drive is operating correctly. If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a drive is lit continuously, that drive is faulty and must be replaced. If the green hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, the drive is being accessed. If you have other devices to install, do so now. Otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 24. Installing an adapter The following notes describe the types of adapters that the server supports and other information that you must consider when you install an adapter: v Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this section. If you have to change switch settings or jumper settings on the adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter. v The adapter slots are on the riser-card assembly. You must first remove the riser-card assembly to access the adapter slots. v The two PCI Express slots on the riser-card assembly support PCI Express x8 1.0a adapters. v You can install one full-height three-quarter-length adapter in expansion slot 1 and one low-profile half-length adapter in expansion slot 2. Note: When the optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine is installed in the server, you can install only a half-length adapter in expansion slot 1. v If you have installed an optional PCI-X riser-card assembly in the server, you can install a full-height, three-quarter-length PCI-X 64/133 MHz adapter in the PCI-X slot on the riser-card assembly. Note: When the optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine is installed in the server, you can install only a half-length adapter in the PCI-X slot. v The optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine can be installed only in the dedicated connector on the system board (see "System-board optional-device connectors" on page 9 for the location of the connector). To install the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, see "Installing a Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine" on page 22. v The server uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI Express adapters so that you can install PCI Express adapters that do not support sharing of interrupts. 18 IBM System x3250 M2 Types 4190 and 4194: Installation Guide

Installing
an
adapter
The
following
notes
describe
the
types
of
adapters
that
the
server
supports
and
other
information
that
you
must
consider
when
you
install
an
adapter:
v
Locate
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
adapter
and
follow
those
instructions
in
addition
to
the
instructions
in
this
section.
If

settings
on
the
adapter,
follow
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
adapter.
v
The
adapter
slots
are
on
the
riser-card
assembly.
You
must
first
remove
the
riser-card
assembly
to
access
the
adapter
slots.
v
The
two
PCI
Express
slots
on
the
riser-card
assembly
support
PCI
Express
x8
1.0a
adapters.
v
You
can
install
one
full-height
three-quarter-length
adapter
in
expansion
slot
1
and
one
low-profile
half-length
adapter
in
expansion
slot
2.
Note:
When
the
optional
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
SlimLine
is
installed
in
the
server,
you
can
install
only
a
half-length
adapter
in
expansion
slot
1.
v
If
you
have
installed
an
optional
PCI-X
riser-card
assembly
in
the
server,
you
can
install
a
full-height,
three-quarter-length
PCI-X
64/133
MHz
adapter
in
the
PCI-X
slot
on
the
riser-card
assembly.
Note:
When
the
optional
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
SlimLine
is
installed
in
the
server,
you
can
install
only
a
half-length
adapter
in
the
PCI-X
slot.
v
The
optional
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
SlimLine
can
be
installed
only
in
the
dedicated
connector
on
the
system
board
(see
“System-board
optional-device
connectors”
on
page
9
for
the
location
of
the
connector).
To
install
the
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
SlimLine,
see
“Installing
a
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
SlimLine”
on
page
22.
v
The
server
uses
a
rotational
interrupt
technique
to
configure
PCI
Express
adapters
so
that
you
can
install
PCI
Express
adapters
that
do
not
support
sharing
of
interrupts.
