you must re-enable the on-board SCSI controller in using the Configuration/Setup Utility program (see "Starting the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 15). Complete the following steps to install a non-hot-plug PCI or PCI-X adapter: 1. Review the information in "Installation guidelines" on page 45, "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 46, and "Safety information" on page 169. 2. Turn off the server and disconnect all power cords and external cables ("Turning off the server" on page 9); then, remove the server cover (see "Removing the server left-side cover and bezel (tower model)" on page 55 or "Removing the server top cover and bezel (rack configuration)" on page 57). 3. Determine which expansion slot you will use for the adapter. 4. If you are installing an adapter in PCI slot 1 or PCI-X slots 2 through 4, lift the tab on the expansion-slot cover. Continue with the next step. If you are installing an adapter in PCI-X slot 5 or 6, slide the adapter-retention-latch release toward the rear of the server and hold it there while you lift the adapter-retention latch to the unlocked (open) position, as shown in the illustration at "Installing a hot-plug adapter (slots 5 and 6)" on page 62. Attention: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all empty slots. This maintains the electronic emissions characteristics of the system and ensures proper cooling of system components. 5. Remove the expansion-slot cover from the server. Store it in a safe place for future use. 6. If you are installing an IXA adapter in slot 5 and 6, make sure that the IXA adapter jumper (J42) is installed between pins 2 and 3; otherwise, make sure it is installed between pins 1 and 2. (See "System-board switches and jumpers" on page 51 for the location of J42.) 7. If you are installing a full-length adapter, lift the adapter-retention clip on the adapter-support bracket. Otherwise, continue with the next step. 8. See the documentation that comes with your adapter for any cabling instructions. It might be easier for you to route cables before you install the adapter. Attention: Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the adapter. 9. Remove the adapter from the static-protective package. 10. Install the adapter: a. If you are installing a full-length adapter, remove the blue adapter guide (if any) from the end of the adapter. Chapter 4. Customer replaceable units 65

you
must
re-enable
the
on-board
SCSI
controller
in
using
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
(see
“Starting
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program”
on
page
15).
Complete
the
following
steps
to
install
a
non-hot-plug
PCI
or
PCI-X
adapter:
1.
Review
the
information
in
“Installation
guidelines”
on
page
45,
“Handling
static-sensitive
devices”
on
page
46,
and
“Safety
information”
on
page
169.
2.
Turn
off
the
server
and
disconnect
all
power
cords
and
external
cables
(“Turning
off
the
server”
on
page
9);
then,
remove
the
server
cover
(see
“Removing
the
server
left-side
cover
and
bezel
(tower
model)”
on
page
55
or
“Removing
the
server
top
cover
and
bezel
(rack
configuration)”
on
page
57).
3.
Determine
which
expansion
slot
you
will
use
for
the
adapter.
4.
If
you
are
installing
an
adapter
in
PCI
slot
1
or
PCI-X
slots
2
through
4,
lift
the
tab
on
the
expansion-slot
cover.
Continue
with
the
next
step.
If
you
are
installing
an
adapter
in
PCI-X
slot
5
or
6,
slide
the
adapter-retention-latch
release
toward
the
rear
of
the
server
and
hold
it
there
while
you
lift
the
adapter-retention
latch
to
the
unlocked
(open)
position,
as
shown
in
the
illustration
at
“Installing
a
hot-plug
adapter
(slots
5
and
6)”
on
page
62.
Attention:
Expansion-slot
covers
must
be
installed
on
all
empty
slots.
This
maintains
the
electronic
emissions
characteristics
of
the
system
and
ensures
proper
cooling
of
system
components.
5.
Remove
the
expansion-slot
cover
from
the
server.
Store
it
in
a
safe
place
for
future
use.
6.
If
you
are
installing
an
IXA
adapter
in
slot
5
and
6,
make
sure
that
the
IXA
adapter
jumper
(J42)
is
installed
between
pins
2
and
3;
otherwise,
make
sure
it
is
installed
between
pins
1
and
2.
(See
“System-board
switches
and
jumpers”
on
page
51
for
the
location
of
J42.)
7.
If
you
are
installing
a
full-length
adapter,
lift
the
adapter-retention
clip
on
the
adapter-support
bracket.
Otherwise,
continue
with
the
next
step.
8.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
your
adapter
for
any
cabling
instructions.
It
might
be
easier
for
you
to
route
cables
before
you
install
the
adapter.
Attention:
Avoid
touching
the
components
and
gold-edge
connectors
on
the
adapter.
9.
Remove
the
adapter
from
the
static-protective
package.
10.
Install
the
adapter:
a.
If
you
are
installing
a
full-length
adapter,
remove
the
blue
adapter
guide
(if
any)
from
the
end
of
the
adapter.
