The black connector is attached to the master IDE device. The gray middle connector is attached to the subordinate IDE device. - (Optional) Diskette drive: The narrower signal cable has two connectors. One is attached to the diskette drive, and the other is attached to the connector (FDD1) on the system board. - SATA: The narrower, black signal cable has two connectors. One is connected to the non-hot-swap SATA drive, and the other is attached to the connector on the system board. Simple-swap SATA models come with four SATA cables that are already connected to the system board and the back panel at the rear of the simple-swap drives. Hot-swap SATA models come with a single data cable that connects the SAS/SATA controller to the hot-swap backplane. This cable provides inherent connectivity for the four SATA drives that the server supports. Therefore, additional cabling is not required for these drives. - SAS: Hot-swap SAS models come with a single data cable that connects the SAS/SATA controller to the hot-swap backplane. This cable provides inherent connectivity for the four SAS drives that the server supports. Therefore, additional cabling is not required for these drives. For more information about the requirements for SAS cable and connecting SAS devices, see the documentation that comes with these devices. For a list of supported options for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/ eserver/serverproven/compat/us/. Installing an adapter The following notes describe the types of adapters that the server supports and other information that you must consider when installing an adapter. v Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this section. If you need to change the switch setting or jumper settings on the adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter. v Read the documentation that comes with your operating system. v The server comes with two PCI slots and two PCI Express slots on the main system board. If your model comes with the optional PCI-X expansion card, it provides two PCI-X slots. v You can install full-length adapters that are included in the ServerProven® list in slots 1 through 6 (depending on your model). v The 32-bit slots 3 and 4 support 5.0 V keyed PCI adapters; they do not support 3.3 V keyed adapters. Universal adapters are supported in slots 3 and 4 if they are universally keyed and the server is not a hot-swap model. If you are installing 64-bit adapters in a hot-swap model, you must install them only in slots 5 and 6. v An optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II can be installed only in the following slots: PCI slots 3 and 4. Use the ribbon cable that comes with this adapter to connect it to the Remote Supervisor Adapter II cable connector on the system board. For additional information, see the documentation that comes with this adapter. v When you start the server for the first time after installing a Remote Supervisor Adapter II, the startup process will take several minutes longer than a typical startup.

IDE
device.
–
(Optional)
Diskette
drive:
The
narrower
signal
cable
has
two
connectors.
One
is
attached
to
the
diskette
drive,
and
the
other
is
attached
to
the
connector
(FDD1)
on

board.
–
SATA:
The
narrower,
black
signal
cable
has
two
connectors.
One
is
connected
to

Simple-swap
SATA
models
come
with
four
SATA
cables
that
are
already
connected
to

Installing
an
adapter
The
following
notes
describe
the
types
of
adapters
that
the
server
supports
and
other
information
that
you
must
consider
when
installing
an
adapter.
v
Locate
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
adapter
and
follow
those
instructions
in
addition
to
the
instructions
in
this
section.
If
you
need
to
change
the
switch
setting
or
jumper
settings
on
the
adapter,
follow
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
adapter.
v
Read
the
documentation
that
comes
with
your
operating
system.
v
The
server
comes
with
two
PCI
slots
and
two
PCI
Express
slots
on
the
main
system
board.
If
your
model
comes
with
the
optional
PCI-X
expansion
card,
it
provides
two
PCI-X
slots.
v
You
can
install
full-length
adapters
that
are
included
in
the
ServerProven
®
list
in
slots
1
through
6
(depending
on
your
model).
v
The
32-bit
slots
3
and
4
support
5.0
V
keyed
PCI
adapters;
they
do
not
support
3.3
V
keyed
adapters.
Universal
adapters
are
supported
in
slots
3
and
4
if
they
are
universally
keyed
and
the
server
is
not
a
hot-swap
model.
If
you
are
installing
64-bit
adapters
in
a
hot-swap
model,
you
must
install
them
only
in
slots
5
and
6.
v
An
optional
IBM
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
can
be
installed
only
in
the
following
slots:
PCI
slots
3
and
4.
Use
the
ribbon
cable
that
comes
with
this
adapter
to
connect
it
to
the
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
cable
connector
on
the
system
board.
For
additional
information,
see
the
documentation
that
comes
with
this
adapter.
v
When
you
start
the
server
for
the
first
time
after
installing
a
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II,
the
startup
process
will
take
several
minutes
longer
than
a
typical
startup.
