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 server scans PCI Express x8 slot 1, PCI Express x4 slot 2, PCI-X slot 3, and PCI slots 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 x8 slot 1, PCI Express x4 slot 2, PCI-X 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/. 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. See "System-board optional-device connectors" on page 18 for the locations of the expansion slots and the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine connector. To install an adapter, complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 20. 2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and power cords; then, remove the side cover. See "Removing the side cover" on page 24. 3. Follow the cabling instructions, if any, that come with the adapter. Route the adapter cables before you install the adapter. 4. Follow the instructions that come with the adapter to set jumpers or switches, if any. 5. Rotate the rear adapter-retention bracket to the open position and remove it from the server. 42 System x3200 M2 Types 4367 and 4368: User's Guide
