v The drives that are preinstalled in the computer come with power and signal cables attached. If you replace any drives, remember which cable is attached to which drive. v When you install a drive, make sure that one of the drive connectors of the signal cable is connected to the drive and that the connector at the other end of the signal cable is connected to the system board. v If you have only one IDE device on a cable, it must be set as a primary device. v If two IDE devices are used on a single cable, one must be designated as the primary device and the other as the secondary device; otherwise, the computer might not recognize some of the IDE devices. The primary and secondary designation is determined by switch or jumper settings on each IDE device. The following cables are provided: v Power cables: Power cables connect the drives to the system board. A serial ATA power cable is provided with the computer. v Signal cables: Signal cables are typically flat cables, also called ribbon cables, that connect parallel IDE, SATA, SAS, and diskette drives to the system board. Two or three types of signal cables come with the computer: - IDE: The wider IDE signal cable has three connectors. One of these connectors is attached to the drive, one is a spare, and the third is attached to the primary IDE connector on the system board. The optical drive is attached to an ATA 100 signal cable. ATA 100 signal cables are color-coded. The blue connector is attached to the system board. The black connector is attached to the primary IDE device. The gray (middle) connector is attached to the secondary IDE device. - Diskette drive (optional): The narrower signal cable has two connectors. One is attached to the diskette drive, and the other is attached to the diskette drive connector on the system board. - Serial ATA: The narrower, black signal cable has two connectors. One connector is attached to the SATA drive, and the other is attached to the connector on the system board. SATA signal cables are connected to the system board connectors (SATA 1 through SATA 4) in numerical order, starting with SATA 1. - SAS: SAS signal cables are connected to the mini-PCI Express adapter. The signal cable has two connectors. One connector is attached to the SAS drive, and the other is attached to the connector on the mini-PCI Express adapter. Installing memory modules The following notes describe the types of DIMMs that the computer supports and other information that you must consider when installing DIMMs: v When you restart the computer after adding or removing a DIMM, the computer displays a message that the memory configuration has changed. v The system board contains eight DIMM connectors and supports two-way memory interleaving. v Install only 1.8 V, 240-pin, 667 MHz, PC2-5300, DDR2 synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) with error correcting code (ECC) fully buffered DIMMs. These DIMMs must be compatible with the latest PC2-5300 SDRAM, fully buffered DIMM specification. For a list of supported options for the computer, go to http://www.ibm.com/intellistation/; then, select your country and navigate to the list of options for the computer. v The amount of usable memory will be reduced depending on the system configuration. A certain amount of memory must be reserved for system 48 IBM IntelliStation Z Pro Type 9228: User's Guide

v
The
drives
that
are
preinstalled
in
the
computer
come
with
power
and
signal
cables
attached.
If
you
replace
any
drives,
remember
which
cable
is
attached
to
which
drive.
v
When
you
install
a
drive,
make
sure
that
one
of
the
drive
connectors
of
the
signal
cable
is
connected
to
the
drive
and
that
the
connector
at
the
other
end
of
the
signal
cable
is
connected
to
the
system
board.
v
If
you
have
only
one
IDE
device
on
a
cable,
it
must
be
set
as
a
primary
device.
v
If
two
IDE
devices
are
used
on
a
single
cable,
one
must
be
designated
as
the
primary
device
and
the
other
as
the
secondary
device;
otherwise,
the
computer
might
not
recognize
some
of
the
IDE
devices.
The
primary
and
secondary
designation
is
determined
by
switch
or
jumper
settings
on
each
IDE
device.

The
following
notes
describe
the
types
of
DIMMs
that
the
computer
supports
and
other
information
that
you
must
consider
when
installing
DIMMs:
v
When
you
restart
the
computer
after
adding
or
removing
a
DIMM,
the
computer
displays
a
message
that
the
memory
configuration
has
changed.
v
The
system
board
contains
eight
DIMM
connectors
and
supports
two-way
memory
interleaving.
