v The server scans the PCI Express x16 expansion slot 1, PCI expansion slots 2 and 3, and PCI-X expansion slots 4 through 6 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 x16 expansion slot 1; system-board integrated drive electronics (IDE), Serial ATA (SATA), or SCSI devices (including the optional ServeRAID 6i+ adapter); and then PCI-X expansion slots 4 through 6. v For a list of supported options for the server, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/ support/. See "System board option connectors" on page 85 for the locations of expansion slots on the system board. Complete the following steps to install an adapter: 1. Read Appendix B, "Safety information," on page 143, and the "Installation guidelines" on page 25. 2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices; then, disconnect all external cables and power cords. 3. Remove the side cover (see "Removing the side cover" on page 28). 4. Follow the cabling instructions, if any, that come with the adapter. Route the adapter cables before you install the adapter. 5. Follow the instructions that come with the adapter to set jumpers or switches, if any. 6. Remove the frame-support bracket (see "Removing and installing the support bracket" on page 32). 7. Rotate the rear adapter-retention bracket to the open (unlocked) position and remove it from the server. Rotate the front adapter-support bracket to the open position. If you are installing a smaller adapter, remove only the rear adapter-retention bracket. 8. Remove the expansion-slot cover. From the rear of the server, press on the slot cover. Grasp it and pull it out of the expansion slot. Store it in a safe place for future use. Notes: a. If you are installing an adapter into slot 3, move the expansion-slot cover with the SCSI knockout to a vacant adapter slot. b. Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots. This maintains the electronic emissions standards of the server and ensures proper ventilation of server components. 9. Touch the static-protective package containing the adapter to any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the adapter from the static-protective package. Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the adapter. 10. If you are installing a full-length adapter, remove the blue adapter guide (if any) from the end of the adapter. 52 xSeries 226 Type 8488 and 8648: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide

in
the
following
order,
if
you
have
not
changed
the
default

devices
(including
the
optional
ServeRAID

v
For
a
list
of
supported
options
for
the
server,
go
to
support/.
See
“System
board
option
connectors”
on
page
85
for
the
locations
of
expansion
slots
on
the
system
board.
Complete
the
following
steps
to
install
an
adapter:
1.
Read
Appendix
B,
“Safety
information,”
on
page
143,
and
the
“Installation
guidelines”
on
page
25.
2.
Turn
off
the
server
and
peripheral
devices;
then,
disconnect
all
external
cables
and
power
cords.
3.
Remove
the
side
cover
(see
“Removing
the
side
cover”
on
page
28).
4.
Follow
the
cabling
instructions,
if
any,
that
come
with
the
adapter.
Route
the
adapter
cables
before
you
install
the
adapter.
5.
Follow
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
adapter
to
set
jumpers
or
switches,
if
any.
6.
Remove
the
frame-support
bracket
(see
“Removing
and
installing
the
support
bracket”
on
page
32).
7.
Rotate
the
rear
adapter-retention
bracket
to
the
open
(unlocked)
position
and
remove
it
from
the
server.
Rotate
the
front
adapter-support
bracket
to
the
open
position.
If
you
are
installing
a
smaller
adapter,
remove
only
the
rear
adapter-retention
bracket.
8.
Remove
the
expansion-slot
cover.
From
the
rear
of
the
server,
press
on
the
slot
cover.
Grasp
it
and
pull
it
out
of
the
expansion
slot.
Store
it
in
a
safe
place
for
future
use.
Notes:
a.
If
you
are
installing
an
adapter
into
slot
3,
move
the
expansion-slot
cover
with
the
SCSI
knockout
to
a
vacant
adapter
slot.
b.
Expansion-slot
covers
must
be
installed
on
all
vacant
slots.
This
maintains
the
electronic
emissions
standards
of
the
server
and
ensures
proper
ventilation
of
server
components.
9.
Touch
the
static-protective
package
containing
the
adapter
to
any
unpainted
metal
surface
on
the
server.
Then,
remove
the
adapter
from
the
static-protective
package.
Avoid
touching
the
components
and
gold-edge
connectors
on
the
adapter.
10.
If
you
are
installing
a
full-length
adapter,
remove
the
blue
adapter
guide
(if
any)
from
the
end
of
the
adapter.
