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 must change the switch setting or jumper settings on the adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter. v Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the adapter. v The server scans devices and adapter slots to assign system resources in the following order: integrated Ethernet controllers 1 and 2, integrated RAID controller, PCI slots 1 through 6, and then the HTX slot. Note: To change the order in which the server scans devices and adapter slots, start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and select Start Options from the main menu. See "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 45 for details about using the Configuration/Setup Utility program. v The PCI bus configuration is as follows: - Non-hot-plug, full-length PCI Express x16 (x16 lanes) slot 1. - Non-hot-plug, full-length PCI Express x8 (x8 lanes) slot 2 and slot 3. - Non-hot-plug, full-length PCI Express x4 (x4 lanes) slot 4. - Non-hot-plug, full-length 64-bit/100 MHz or 133 MHz slot 5 and slot 6. See Table 3 for slot speed assignments for slot 5 and slot 6. Table 3. Slot 5 and slot 6 bus speed assignments Slot 5 Slot 6 PCI-X 133 MHz adapter Unpopulated Unpopulated PCI-X 133 MHz adapter PCI-X 133 MHz adapter PCI-X 133 MHz adapter Bus speed 100 MHz 133 MHz 100 MHz - Non-hot-plug, half-length HyperTransport (HTX) slot. Note: At least three microprocessor/memory cards must be installed to support a HyperTransport adapter. To install an adapter, complete the following steps. 1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 20. 2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and all external cables. Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details about handling these devices, see "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 21. 3. Remove the server cover (see "Removing the cover" on page 22) and determine which expansion slot you will use for the adapter. Chapter 2. Installing optional devices 27

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
must
change
the
switch
setting
or
jumper
settings
on
the
adapter,
follow
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
adapter.
v
Avoid
touching
the
components
and
gold-edge
connectors
on
the
adapter.
v
The
server
scans
devices
and
adapter
slots
to
assign
system
resources
in
the
following
order:
integrated
Ethernet
controllers
1
and
2,
integrated
RAID
controller,
PCI
slots
1
through
6,
and
then
the
HTX
slot.
Note:
To
change
the
order
in
which
the
server
scans
devices
and
adapter
slots,
start
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
and
select
Start
Options
from
the
main
menu.
See
“Using
the
