The following procedure describes the internal cabling needed to install a ServeRAID adapter. Important: When installing multiple ServeRAID adapters in a server that has the PCI-X slot enabled for high scan (boot) priority, ensure that the ServeRAID adapter controlling the startup (boot) drive is installed in a PCI slot that is scanned before the PCI slots that contain the other ServeRAID adapters. See "PCI and PCI-X adapters" on page 86. Complete the following steps to cable the ServeRAID adapter. 1. Review the information in "Safety information" on page 257 and "Installation guidelines" on page 79. 2. Turn off the server and disconnect all power cords and external cables; then, open the server cover (see "Opening the cover" on page 82). 3. Remove fans 3 and 4, which are located just behind the PCI-X slots. 4. Disconnect the short SCSI cable from the SCSI backplane and the integrated SCSI controller on the I/O board; then, store this short cable in a safe place for future use. 5. Install the ServeRAID adapter in a PCI-X slot (see "PCI and PCI-X adapters" on page 86). 6. Locate one end of the preinstalled SCSI cable and connect it to the ServeRAID adapter. Preinstalled SCSI cable Connect to ServeRAID adapter Connect to SCSI backplane Figure 37. Location of preinstalled SCSI cable 7. Locate the other end of the preinstalled SCSI cable and connect it to the SCSI backplane on the I/O board. 90 xSeries 445 Type 8870: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide

The
following
procedure
describes
the
internal
cabling
needed
to
install
a
ServeRAID
adapter.
Important:
When
installing
multiple
ServeRAID
adapters
in
a
server
that
has
the
PCI-X
slot
enabled
for
high
scan
(boot)
priority,
ensure
that
the
ServeRAID
adapter
controlling
the
startup
(boot)
drive
is
installed
in
a
PCI
slot
that
is
scanned
before
the
PCI
slots
that
contain
the
other
ServeRAID
adapters.
See
“PCI
and
PCI-X
adapters”
on
page
86.
Complete
the
following
steps
to
cable
the
ServeRAID
adapter.
1.
Review
the
information
in
“Safety
information”
on
page
257
and
“Installation
guidelines”
on
page
79.
2.
Turn
off
the
server
and
disconnect
all
power
cords
and
external
cables;
then,
open
the
server
cover
(see
“Opening
the
cover”
on
page
82).
3.
Remove
fans
3
and
4,
which
are
located
just
behind
the
PCI-X
slots.
4.
Disconnect
the
short
SCSI
cable
from
the
SCSI
backplane
and
the
integrated
SCSI
controller
on
the
I/O
board;
then,
store
this
short
cable
in
a
safe
place
for
future
use.
5.
Install
the
ServeRAID
adapter
in
a
PCI-X
slot
(see
“PCI
and
PCI-X
adapters”
on
page
86).
6.
Locate
one
end
of
the
preinstalled
SCSI
cable
and
connect
it
to
the
ServeRAID
adapter.
7.
Locate
the
other
end
of
the
preinstalled
SCSI
cable
and
connect
it
to
the
SCSI
backplane
on
the
I/O
board.
