4. Open the front adapter-support bracket and remove the rear adapter-retention bracket from the PCI-X slots (see "Installing an adapter" on page 51 for instructions). You might also have to remove longer adapters for access to the SCSI connectors on the system board. 5. Connect the SCSI signal cable end labeled "PLANAR" to the connector for SCSI channel B on the system board (see "System board internal connectors" on page 86 for the location of the SCSI channel B connector). 6. Route the SCSI cable to the adapter slot that has the special SCSI-knockout slot cover on the back of the server (see "Connecting the cables" on page 61 for an illustration of the SCSI-knockout slot cover, normally in PCI slot 3). Make sure the cable does not block the flow of air to the hard disk drives. Note: You can move the special SCSI-knockout slot cover to a different slot if needed. 7. Remove the SCSI-connector knockout from the PCI-X slot cover; then, insert the external SCSI connector on the SCSI cable into the knockout opening and secure it with the attached screws. 8. Replace any adapters you removed in step 4. Close the front adapter-support bracket and replace the rear adapter-retention bracket. 9. Replace the support bracket (see "Removing and installing the support bracket" on page 32). 10. Replace the cover (see "Replacing the side cover" on page 29). 11. Reconnect the external cables and power cords. Turn on the attached devices, and turn on the server. 12. Use the SCSISelect program to configure SCSI channel B (see the User's Guide for information about using the SCSISelect program). Installing an additional microprocessor The following notes describe the type of microprocessor that the server supports and other information that you must consider when installing a microprocessor: v The server comes with one microprocessor and supports up to two microprocessors. v Read the documentation that comes with the microprocessor to determine whether you must update the basic input/output system (BIOS) code in the server. To download the most current level of BIOS code for the server, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/. v (Optional) Obtain an SMP-capable operating system. For a list of supported operating systems, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/. v The microprocessors must have the same cache size and type, and the same clock speed. Microprocessor internal and external clock frequencies must be identical. You can use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to determine the specific type of microprocessor that is in the server. v Terminator cards are not required for empty microprocessor sockets. However, for airflow, an empty microprocessor socket must contain a microprocessor baffle. v The microprocessor speeds are automatically set for this server; therefore, you do not have to set any microprocessor frequency-selection jumpers or switches. v The system board contains an integrated voltage regulator for microprocessor 1; you must install a voltage regulator module (VRM) on the system board when you install microprocessor 2. The VRM comes in the microprocessor option kit. v These instructions assume that you are installing microprocessor 2. 46 xSeries 226 Type 8488 and 8648: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide

of
air
to
the
hard
disk
drives.
Note:
You
can
move
the
special
SCSI-knockout
slot
cover
to
a
different
slot
if
needed.
7.
Remove
the
SCSI-connector
knockout
from
the
PCI-X
slot
cover;
then,
insert

connector
on
the
SCSI
cable
into
the
knockout
opening
and
secure
it
with
the
attached
screws.
8.
Replace
any
adapters
you
removed
in
step
4.
Close
the
front
adapter-support
bracket
and
replace
the
rear
adapter-retention
bracket.
9.
Replace
the
support
bracket
(see
“Removing
and
installing
the
support
bracket”
on
page
32).
10.
Replace
the
cover
(see

cords.
Turn
on
the
attached
devices,
and
turn
on
the
server.
12.
Use
the
SCSISelect
program
to
configure
SCSI
channel
B
(see
the
User’s
Guide
for
information
about
using
the
SCSISelect
program).
Installing
an
additional
microprocessor
The
following
notes
describe
the
type
of
microprocessor
that
the
server
supports
and
other
information
that
you
must
consider
when
installing
a
microprocessor:
v
The
server
comes
with
one
microprocessor
and
supports
up
to
two
microprocessors.
v
Read
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
microprocessor
to
determine
whether
you
must
update
the
basic
input/output
system
(BIOS)
code
in
the
server.
To
download
the
most
current
level
of
BIOS
code
for
the
server,
go
to
v
(Optional)
Obtain
an
SMP-capable
operating
system.
For
a
list
of
supported
operating
systems,
go
to
v
The
microprocessors
must
have
the
same
cache
size
and
type,
and
the
same
clock
speed.
Microprocessor
internal
and
external
clock
frequencies
must
be
identical.
You
can
use
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
to
determine
the
specific
type
of
microprocessor
that
is
in
the
server.
v
Terminator
cards
are
not
required
for
empty
microprocessor
sockets.
However,
for
airflow,
an
empty
microprocessor
socket
must
contain
a
microprocessor
baffle.
v
The
microprocessor
speeds
are
automatically
set
for
this
server;
therefore,
you
do
not
have
to
set
any
microprocessor
frequency-selection
jumpers
or
switches.
v
The
system
board
contains
an
integrated
voltage
regulator
for
microprocessor
1;
you
must
install
a
voltage
regulator
module
(VRM)
on
the
system
board
when
