6. Install the adapter: a. Open the blue adapter guide by lifting the front edge, as shown in the illustration. b. Push the orange adapter retention latch toward the rear of the server and open the tab. c. Remove the expansion-slot cover. If you are hot-swapping a PCI or PCI-X adapter do not remove the PCI-X divider. d. Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners and align it with the connector on the I/O board. e. If necessary remove the extension handles or bracket before installing a long adapter. Attention: When you install an I/O adapter, be sure the adapter is correctly seated in the connector slot. Improperly seated adapters might cause damage to the board, the riser card, or the adapter. f. Press the adapter firmly into the adapter connector. g. If they were removed, reinstall the PCI-X dividers between the Active PCI-X adapter slots. h. Push down on the blue adapter guide to keep the adapter steady. i. Close the tab; then, push down on the orange adapter retention latch until it clicks into place, securing the adapter. 7. Connect the internal cables to the adapter. If you are installing a ServeRAID adapter, see "Cabling a ServeRAID adapter" for instructions. 8. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now. 9. Close the cover on the server; then, reinstall the server in the rack and connect all external cables. 10. Enable the slot or turn on the server, depending on your operating system. Cabling a ServeRAID adapter Some xSeries 445 models come with an optional IBM ServeRAID adapter installed to control the internal hot-swap hard disk drives and external hard disk drives. If the server did not come with an optional IBM ServeRAID adapter installed; then, see your ServeRAID adapter option documentation for complete instructions on installing a ServeRAID adapter in the server and for additional information on ServeRAID adapters. Servers without an optional IBM ServeRAID adapter installed come with two SCSI cables: v One end of the first SCSI cable is attached to the connector on the SCSI backplane, and the other end is attached to the connector for the integrated SCSI controller behind fans 3 and 4. v The second SCSI cable is preinstalled along the inside of the server chassis and both ends are loose inside the server. When you install a ServeRAID adapter, you will connect this cable to the adapter and the SCSI backplane on the I/O board. Chapter 4. Installing options 89
