For a list of supported optional devices 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 you install 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 have 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 the following adapter connectors or slots: - Slot 1, PCI Express x8 - Slot 2, PCI Express x4 (x1) Important: The x1 designation in parentheses for slot 2 identifies an x4 slot that is designed to support x1 and x4 adapters that can downshift to operate at the x1 bandwidth. For example, if you install an x4 adapter in slot 2 that can downshift to x1 bandwidth, it will run at the x1 bandwidth. The x4 connector (slot 2) can be used for x1 and x4 adapters. Check the information that comes with your adapter for compatibility information. - Slot 3, PCI-X 64-bit/133 MHz Note: PCI-X slot 3 is enabled when the optional mini-PCI-X enablement card is installed in the mini-PCI slot on the system board. When no mini-PCI-X enablement card is installed, PCI-X slot 3 has no function. - Slot 4, PCI 32-bit/33 MHz - Slot 5, PCI 32-bit/33 MHz v Some server models come with a mini-SAS/SATA RAID controller installed. The mini-SAS/SATA RAID controller enables integrated RAID levels-0 and level-1. Some models also come with a ServeRAID-MR10i SAS/SATA controller that enables integrated RAID level 5 capability. v The ServeRAID-MR10i SAS/SATA controller must be installed in slot 1, PCI Express x8. v You can install the mini-PCI-X enablement card or the mini-SAS/SATA RAID controller in the mini-PCI slot on the system board. v When an optional mini-PCI-X enablement card is installed in the mini-PCI slot, it passes PCI-X signals from the mini-PCI-X enablement card to PCI-X slot 3. v When an optional mini-PCI-X enablement card is installed in the server, the server cannot support RAID levels-0 and level-1. v You can install full-length adapters that are included in the ServerProven® list in slots 1 through 5 (depending on your model). v The 64-bit slot 3 supports 3.3 V PCI-X adapters. v The 32-bit slots 4 and 5 support 5.0 V keyed PCI adapters; they do not support 3.3 V keyed adapters. Universal adapters are supported in slots 4 and 5 if they are universally keyed. v An optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine can be installed only in its dedicated connector on the system board. See "System-board internal connectors" on page 16 for the location of the connector. For additional information, see the documentation that comes with this adapter. Chapter 2.

Installing
an
adapter
The
following
notes
describe
the
types
of
adapters
that
the
server
supports
and
other
information
that
you
must
consider
when
you
install
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
have
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
the
following
adapter
connectors
or
slots:
–
Slot
1,
PCI
Express
x8
–
Slot
2,
PCI
Express
x4
(x1)
Important:
The
x1
designation
in
parentheses
for
slot
2
identifies
an
x4
slot
that
is
designed
to
support
x1
and
x4
adapters
that
can
downshift
to
operate
at
the
x1
bandwidth.
For
example,
if
you
install
an
x4
adapter
in
slot
2
that
can
downshift
to
x1
bandwidth,
it
will
run
at
the
x1
bandwidth.
The
x4
connector
(slot
2)
can
be
used
for
x1
and
x4
adapters.
Check
the
information
that
comes
with
your
adapter
for
compatibility
information.

is
enabled
when
the
optional
mini-PCI-X
enablement
card
is
installed
in
the
mini-PCI
slot
on
the
system
board.
When
no
mini-PCI-X
enablement
card
is
installed,
PCI-X
slot
3
has
no

v
Some
server
models
come
with
a
mini-SAS/SATA
RAID
controller
installed.
The
mini-SAS/SATA
RAID
controller
enables
integrated
RAID
levels-0
and
level-1.
Some
models
also
come
with
a
ServeRAID-MR10i
SAS/SATA
controller
that
enables
integrated
RAID
level
5
capability.
v
The
ServeRAID-MR10i
SAS/SATA
controller
must
be
installed
in
slot
1,
PCI
Express
x8.
v
You
can
install
the
mini-PCI-X
enablement
card
or
the
mini-SAS/SATA
RAID
controller
in
the
mini-PCI
slot
on
the
system
board.
v
When
an
optional
mini-PCI-X
enablement
card
is
installed
in
the
mini-PCI
slot,
it
passes
PCI-X
signals
from
the
mini-PCI-X
enablement
card
to
PCI-X
slot
3.
v
When
an
optional
mini-PCI-X
enablement
card
is
installed
in
the
server,
the
server
cannot
support
RAID
levels-0
and
level-1.
v
You
can
install
full-length
adapters
that
are
included
in
the
ServerProven
®
list
in
slots
1
through
5
(depending
on
your
model).
v
The
64-bit
slot
3
supports
3.3
V
PCI-X
adapters.
v
The
32-bit
slots
4
and
5
support
5.0
V
keyed
PCI
adapters;
they
do
not
support
3.3
V
keyed
adapters.
Universal
adapters
are
supported
in
slots
4
and
5
if
they
are
universally
keyed.
v
An
optional
IBM
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
SlimLine
can
be
installed
only
in
its
dedicated
connector
on
the
system
board.
See
“System-board
internal
connectors”
on
page
16
for
the
location
of
the
connector.
