For a list of supported optional devices 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 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 the switch setting or jumper settings on the adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter. v Read the documentation that comes with your operating system. v The server comes with three PCI slots and two PCI Express slots. v You can install full-length adapters that are included in the ServerProven list in slots 1 through 5 (depending on your model). v The 32-bit slots 3, 4, and 5 support 5.0 V keyed PCI adapters; they do not support 3.3 V keyed adapters. Universal adapters are supported in slots 3, 4, and 5 if they are universally keyed. v An optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine can be installed only in the dedicated connector on the system board. For additional information, see the documentation that comes with this adapter. v When you start the server for the first time after you install a Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, the startup process will take several minutes longer than a typical startup. v The optional ServeRAID-8s adapter can be installed only in PCI Express x8 slot 2. v The server scans PCI Express x1 slot 1, PCI Express x8 slot 2, PCI slots 3, 4, and 5 to assign system resources. Then, the server starts the PCI devices in the following order, if you have not changed the default startup sequence: PCI Express x1 slot 1, PCI Express x8 slot 2, PCI slot 3, PCI slot 4, and PCI slot 5. v For a list of supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/ servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/. For the locations of the expansion slots on the system board, see the User's Guide on the IBM System x 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 might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when you work inside the server with the power on. Chapter 2.

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
the
switch
setting
or
jumper
settings
on
the
adapter,
follow
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
adapter.
v
Read
the
documentation
that
comes
with
your
operating
system.
v
The
server
comes
with
three
PCI
slots
and
two
PCI
Express
slots.
v
You
can
install
full-length
adapters
that
are
included
in
the
ServerProven
list
in
slots
1
through
5
(depending
on
your
model).
v
The
32-bit
slots
3,
4,
and
5
support
5.0
V
keyed
PCI
adapters;
they
do
not
support
3.3
V
keyed
adapters.
Universal
adapters
are
supported
in
slots
3,
4,
and
5
if
they
are
universally
keyed.
v
An
optional
IBM
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
SlimLine
can
be
installed
only
in
the
dedicated
connector
on
the
system
board.
For
additional
information,
see
the
documentation
that
comes
with
this
adapter.
v
When
you
start
the
server
for
the
first
time
after
you
install
a
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
SlimLine,
the
startup
process
will
take
several
minutes
longer
than
a
typical
startup.
v
The
optional
ServeRAID-8s
adapter
can
be
installed
only
in
PCI
Express
x8
slot
2.
v
The
server
scans
PCI
Express
x1
slot
1,
PCI
Express
x8
slot
2,
PCI
slots
3,
4,
and
5
to
assign
system
resources.
Then,
the
server
starts
the
PCI
devices
in
the
following
order,
if
you
have
not
changed
the
default
startup
sequence:
PCI
Express
x1
slot
1,
PCI
Express
x8
slot
2,
PCI
slot
3,
PCI
slot
4,
and
PCI
slot
5.

For
the
locations
of
the
expansion
slots
on
the
system
board,
see
the
User’s
Guide

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