v The PCI-X slot numbers in an RXE-100 enclosure are assigned in the following order: Slot numbers assigned to Slot numbers assigned to Slots in RXE-100 enclosure A side B side 6 slots on A side only 7 - 12* (A1 - A6) none 6 slots on B side only none 7 - 12* (B1 - B6) 12 slots 7 - 12 (A1 - A6) 13 - 18 (B1 - B6) * Both sides are numbered 7 - 12 when an RXE-100 enclosure is shared v If you install a RAID adapter other than a ServeRAID 6i adapter to control internal hot-swap hard disk drives, you might need to disconnect the internal channel cable from the SCSI RAID cable connector (J17) on the I/O board and connect it to the RAID adapter. No recabling is needed for a ServeRAID 6i adapter. See the information that comes with your RAID adapter. v If you install a RAID adapter to control external hard disk drives, connect one end of the RAID external channel cable (separately orderable) to an external channel connector on the edge of the RAID adapter that is accessible from the rear of the server; then, route the cable to the external SCSI device and connect it to the applicable connector. Note: See the documentation that comes with the RAID adapter for any additional cabling instructions. That documentation also provides information about installing the RAID software and configuring the RAID adapter. For a list of supported RAID adapters, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/. v Before attempting to install a new adapter, make sure that there is an available slot at the correct bus speed for it. If you need additional PCI-X slots, you can purchase a remote I/O expansion enclosure through your IBM marketing representative or authorized reseller. Note: Before hot-swapping any PCI-X adapters, read the information in "Working inside a server with power on" on page 7. Complete the following steps to install a PCI/PCI-X adapter. Note: For hot-pluggable adapters, make sure that the PCI hot-plug device driver is installed. For details, see the documentation that comes with the adapter. For more detailed instructions and information about installing PCI/PCI-X adapters, see the section about installing options in the Option Installation Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD. 1. Review the safety information beginning on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 7. 2. If the adapter is not hot-pluggable, turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and all external cables. 16 xSeries 365 Type 8861 and 8862: Installation Guide
