- The 32-bit PCI slot 1 and mini-PCI slot 6 (video adapter) are on the 33 MHz PCI bus. Note: Do not install any adapters other than the standard video adapter in slot 6. Other adapter types are not supported. - The 64-bit PCI-X slots 2 and 3 and the integrated Ethernet controller are on the 100 MHz PCI-X bus, channel A. - The 64-bit PCI-X slots 4 and 5 and the integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities are on the 100 MHz PCI bus, channel B. If an optional ServeRAID-6i controller is installed, it overrides the standard functionality of the integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities and forces PCI-X slots 4 and 5 to 66 MHz. v The optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II can be installed only in PCI slot 1. Use the ribbon cable that comes with this adapter to connect it to the Remote Supervisor Adapter II connector (JMGT1) on the system board. v You cannot swap the optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II card between systems with different machine types. For example, you cannot remove the optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II from an xSeries 225 Machine Type 8647 system and install it in an xSeries 225 Machine Type 8649 system. It is not supported. v The optional ServeRAID-6i controller can be installed only in PCI-X slot 4 and must use the 3-U bracket that comes preinstalled on the controller. v To provide failover protection, an optional Ethernet adapter can be installed only in PCI-X slots 2 through 5. v The server scans the AGP slot, mini-PCI slot 6, PCI expansion slot 1, and PCI-X expansion slots 2 through 5 to assign system resources. Then, the server starts the PCI devices in the following order, if you have not changed the default startup sequence: AGP slot, mini-PCI slot 6, PCI expansion slot 1, system-board integrated drive electronics (IDE) or SCSI devices (including optional ServeRAID-6i controller), and then PCI-X expansion slots 2 through 5. v For a list of supported options for your server, go to http://www.ibm.com/support/. Installing an adapter Note: You can install an optional ServeRAID-6i controller only in PCI-X slot 4. Slot 4 is the only PCI-X slot that supports the ServeRAID-6i controller requirements. Install the ServeRAID-6i controller using the 3-U bracket that comes preinstalled on the controller. See the documentation that comes with the ServeRAID-6i controller for additional information. Complete the following steps to install a PCI or PCI-X adapter in your server: 1. Review the safety information beginning on page 129 "Installation guidelines" on page 33, and "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 34. 2. Turn off the server and all attached devices. 3. Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external cables. 4. Remove the side cover (see "Removing the side cover" on page 36). 5. Determine which slot you will use for the adapter. Check the instructions that come with the adapter for any requirements, restrictions, or cabling instructions. It might be easier to route cables before you install the adapter. 40 IBM xSeries 225 Types 8649: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide

(video
adapter)
are
on
the
33
MHz
PCI
bus.
Note:
Do
not
install
any
adapters
other
than
the
standard
video
adapter
in
slot
6.
Other
adapter
types
are
not
supported.
–
The
64-bit
PCI-X
slots
2
and
3
and
the
integrated
Ethernet
controller
are
on
the
100

and
5
and
the
integrated
SCSI
controller
with
RAID
capabilities
are
on
the
100
MHz
PCI
bus,
channel
B.
If
an
optional
ServeRAID-6i
controller
is
installed,
it
overrides
the
standard
functionality
of
the
integrated
SCSI
controller
with
RAID
capabilities
and
forces
PCI-X
slots
4
and
5
to
66
MHz.
v
The
optional
IBM
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
can
be
installed
only
in
PCI
slot
1.
Use
the
ribbon
cable
that
comes
with
this
adapter
to
connect
it
to
the
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
connector
(JMGT1)
on
the
system
board.
v
You
cannot
swap
the
optional
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
card
between
systems
with
different
machine
types.
For
example,
you
cannot
remove
the
optional
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
from
an
xSeries
225
Machine
Type
8647
system
and
install
it
in
an
xSeries
225
Machine
Type
8649
system.
It
is
not
supported.
v
The
optional
ServeRAID-6i
controller
can
be
installed
only
in
PCI-X
slot
4
and
must
use
the
3-U
bracket
that
comes
preinstalled
on
the
controller.
v
To
provide
failover
protection,
an
optional
Ethernet
adapter
can
be
installed
only
in
PCI-X
slots
2
through
5.
v
The
server
scans
the
AGP
slot,
mini-PCI
slot
6,
PCI
expansion
slot
1,
and
PCI-X
expansion
slots
2
through
5
to
assign
system
resources.
Then,
the
server
starts
the
PCI
devices
in
the
following
order,
if
you
have
not
changed
the
default
startup
sequence:
AGP
slot,
mini-PCI
slot
6,
PCI
expansion
slot
1,
system-board

Installing
an
adapter
Note:
You
can
install
an
optional
ServeRAID-6i
controller
only
in
PCI-X
slot
4.
Slot
4
is
the
only
PCI-X
slot
that
supports
the
ServeRAID-6i
controller
requirements.
Install
the
ServeRAID-6i
controller
using
the
3-U
bracket
that
comes
preinstalled
on
the
controller.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
ServeRAID-6i
controller
for
additional
information.
Complete
the
following
steps
to
install
a
PCI
or
PCI-X
adapter
in
your
server:
1.
Review
the
safety
information
beginning
on
page
129
“Installation
guidelines”
on
page
33,
and
“Handling
static-sensitive
devices”
on
page
34.
2.
Turn
off
the
server
and
all
attached
devices.
3.
Disconnect
all
power
cords;
then,
disconnect
all
external
cables.
4.
Remove
the
side
cover
(see
“Removing
the
side
cover”
on
page
36).
5.
Determine
which
slot
you
will
use
for
the
adapter.
Check
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
adapter
for
any
requirements,
restrictions,
or
cabling
instructions.
It
might
be
easier
to
route
cables
before
you
install
the
adapter.
