v If you install an optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II, you must disconnect the video cable from the system board and connect it to the optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II. v The optional ServeRAID-8i adapter can be installed only in PCI-X slot 6. v The server scans PCI Express x1 slot 2, PCI Express x8 slot 1, and PCI slots 3 and 4 to assign system resources. If the optional PCI-X expansion card is attached to the system board, the server also scans PCI-X slots 5 and 6 to assign additional 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-X slot 5 (optional), PCI-X slot 6 (optional), PCI Express x1 slot 2, PCI slot 3, and PCI slot 4. v For a list of supported options 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 could result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with the power on. See "System-board and PCI-X expansion card option connectors" on page 17 for the locations of the expansion slots and the Remote Supervisor Adapter II cable connector. 38 xSeries 206m Types 8485 and 8490: User's Guide

v
The

to
assign
system

is
attached
to
the

board,
the

also
scans
PCI-X
