manufacturer. If you are installing a full-length adapter, you might have to remove a plastic bracket secured to the adapter with 2 screws before installing the adapter. Attention: When you install an adapter, ensure that the adapter is correctly seated in the connector before you turn on the server. Improperly seated adapters might cause damage to the system board, the riser card for slot 1, or the adapter. b. Grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners, align it with the connector, and press it firmly into the connector. 9. Slide the expansion-slot clip toward the server until it snaps into place. 10. Connect any internal cables to the adapter. See the instructions that come with the adapter for details. Attention: Ensure that the cables do not block the flow of air from the fans. 11. If you removed the power-cord module to install the adapter in PCI-X slot 1, install the module by reversing the procedure in step 7a on page 47. Ensure that the alignment tab is fully seated in the slot on the side of the server. 12. If you installed the adapter in PCI-X slot 2, secure the adapter by flexing the adapter-retention latch toward the front of the server and inserting the front corners of the adapter into the recesses in the latch. 13. Perform any configuration tasks required for the adapter. Note: If you installed a Remote Supervisor Adapter: a. Refer to the documentation provided with the Remote Supervisor Adapter for information about installing the Remote Supervisor Adapter firmware and configuring the adapter. b. After you initially configure the adapter, you should create a backup copy of it so that if you need to replace the adapter in the future, you can restore the configuration and resume normal operation more quickly. 14. If you have other options to install, install them now. Otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 59. Hard disk drives This section describes how to install a hard disk drive in the server. Before you install a hard disk drive, review the following information: v The server supports two 25.4-mm (1-inch), slim, 3.5-inch hard disk drives. SCSI models of the server come with a hot-swap SCSI backplane. v The SCSI server models support low voltage differential (LVD) hot-swap drives. Each hot-swap drive resides in a tray, which has a green activity LED and an amber status LED in the upper-right corner. These LEDs are lit if the drive is active and, in some cases, if the drive fails. Each hot-swap drive has a single-connector-attached (SCA) connector, which plugs directly into the hot-swap SCSI backplane. The backplane attaches to connector J18 on the system board and controls the SCSI IDs for the hot-swap drives. Note: The drive in bay 1 is assigned SCSI ID 0; the drive in bay 2 is assigned SCSI ID 1. v Non-hot-swap disk drives do not require a backplane or tray and they do not have indicator LEDs. However, you must attach the blue rails that come with the drive before installing it in the server. 48 xSeries 335 Type 8676, Type 8830: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide

If
you
are
installing
a
full-length
adapter,
you
might
have
to
remove
a
plastic
bracket
secured
to
the
adapter
with
2
screws
before
installing
the
adapter.
Attention:
When
you
install
an
adapter,
ensure
that
the
adapter
is
correctly
seated
in
the
connector
before
you
turn
on
the
server.
Improperly
seated
adapters
might
cause
damage
to
the
system
board,
the
riser
card
for
slot
1,
or
the
adapter.
b.
Grasp
the
adapter
by
its
top
edge
or
upper
corners,
align
it
with
the
connector,
and
press
it
firmly
into
the
connector.
9.
Slide
the
expansion-slot
clip
toward
the
server
until
it
snaps
into
place.
10.
Connect
any
internal
cables
to
the
adapter.
See
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
adapter
for
details.
Attention:
Ensure
that
the
cables
do
not
block
the
flow
of
air
from
the
fans.
11.
If
you
removed
the
power-cord
module
to
install
the
adapter
in
PCI-X
slot
1,
install
the
module
by
reversing
the
procedure
in
step
7a
on
page
47.
Ensure
that
the
alignment
tab
is
fully
seated
in
the
slot
on
the
side
of
the
server.
12.
If
you
installed
the
adapter
in
PCI-X
slot
2,
secure
the
adapter
by
flexing
the
adapter-retention
latch
toward
the
front
of
the
server
and
inserting
the
front
corners
of
the
adapter
into
the
recesses
in
the
latch.
13.
Perform
any
configuration
tasks
required
for
the
adapter.
Note:
If
you
installed
a
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter:
a.
Refer
to
the
documentation
provided
with
the
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
for
information
about
installing
the
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
firmware
and
configuring
the
adapter.
b.
After
you
initially
configure
the
adapter,
you
should
create
a
backup
copy
of
it
so
that
if
you
need
to
replace
the
adapter
in
the
future,
you
can
restore
the
configuration
and
resume
normal
operation
more
quickly.
14.
If
you
have
other
options
to
install,
install
them
now.
Otherwise,
go
to
“Completing
the
installation”
on
page
59.
Hard
disk
drives
This
section
describes
how
to
install
a
hard
disk
drive
in
the
server.
Before
you
install
a
hard
disk
drive,
review
the
following
information:
v
The
server
supports
two
25.4-mm
(1-inch),
slim,
3.5-inch
hard
disk
drives.
SCSI
models
of
the
server
come
with
a
hot-swap
SCSI
backplane.
v
The
SCSI
server
models
support
low
voltage
differential
(LVD)
hot-swap
drives.
Each
hot-swap
drive
resides
in
a
tray,
which
has
a
green
activity
LED
and
an
amber
status
LED
in
the
upper-right
corner.
These
LEDs
are
lit
if
the
drive
is
active
and,
in
some
cases,
if
the
drive
fails.
Each
hot-swap
drive
has
a
single-connector-attached
(SCA)
connector,
which
plugs
directly
into
the
hot-swap
SCSI
backplane.
The
backplane
attaches
to
connector
J18
on
the
system
board
and
controls
the
SCSI
IDs
for
the
hot-swap
drives.
Note:
The
drive
in
bay
1
is
assigned
SCSI
ID
0;
the
drive
in
bay
2
is
assigned
SCSI
ID
1.
v
Non-hot-swap
disk
drives
do
not
require
a
backplane
or
tray
and
they
do
not
have
indicator
LEDs.
However,
you
must
attach
the
blue
rails
that
come
with
the
drive
before
installing
it
in
the
server.
