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 cord and all external cables. 3. Remove the filler panel from the empty drive bay. 4. Pull the loops of the drive tray toward each other, and slide the drive into the server until the drive connects to the backplate. 5. Release the loops of the drive tray. 6. Install the filler panel into the drive bay to cover the drive. Note: If the server has a RAID controller or adapter, you might have to reconfigure the disk arrays after you install hard disk drives. See your RAID controller or adapter documentation. If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 38. 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 settings or jumper settings on the adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter. v The adapter slots are on the riser-card assemblies. You must first remove the riser-card assemblies to access the adapter slots. v The server provides two PCI Express slots on the riser-card assemblies and support half-length, full-height, PCI Express x8 1.0a adapters in each expansion slot. v The server scans the onboard SAS/SATA controller, PCI express slots 1 and 2, and onboard Ethernet controllers to assign system resources. Then, the server starts the devices in the following order, if you have not changed the default startup sequence: PCI Express slot 1, then PCI Express slot 2. Note: You can change the sequence in which the server starts (boots) the devices by using the Start Options menu choice from the Configuration/Setup Utility program main menu. See "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 42 for detailed information. v For a list of supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/ servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/. To install an adapter, complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and the "Installation guidelines" on page 20. 2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables. Remove the cover (see "Removing the server cover" on page 23). 28 IBM System x3350 Types 4192 and 4193: User's Guide

default
startup
sequence:
PCI
Express
slot
1,
