xSeries 206 Type 8482: Installation Guide
Chapter 2. Installing options
This chapter provides basic instructions for installing hardware options in your
server. These instructions are intended for users who are experienced with setting
up IBM server hardware. If you need more detailed instructions, see the Option
Installation Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.
Installation guidelines
Before you begin installing options in your server, read the following information:
v Read the safety information beginning on page vii and the guidelines in “Handling
static-sensitive devices” on page 14. This information will help you work safely
with your server and options.
v Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical
outlets for your server, monitor, and other devices that you will connect to the
server.
v Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
v Have a small flat-blade screwdriver available.
v You do not need to turn off the server to install or replace hot-swap drives or
hot-plug Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices.
v Blue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the component
to remove it from or install it in the server, open or close a latch, and so on.
v Orange on a component or orange label on or near a component indicates that
the component can be hot-swapped, which means that if the server and
operating system support hot-swap capability, you can remove or install the
component while the server is running. (Orange can also indicate touch points on
hot-swap components.) See the instructions for removing and installing a specific
hot-swap component for any additional procedures that you might have to
perform before you remove or install the component.
v When you need to access the inside of the server to install options, you might
find it easier to lay the server on its side.
v For a list of supported options for your server, go to
http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/.
System reliability guidelines
To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that:
v Each of the drive bays has a drive or a filler panel and electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) shield installed in it.
v There is adequate space around the server to allow the server cooling system to
work properly. Leave approximately 50 mm (2 in.) of open space around the front
and rear of the server. Do not place objects in front of the fans. For proper
cooling and airflow, replace the server cover before turning on the server.
Operating the server for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes) with
the server cover removed might damage server components.
When installing the server in a rack, make sure that space is available around
the server to enable the server cooling system to work properly. See the
documentation that comes with the rack for additional information.
v You have followed the cabling instructions that come with optional adapters.
v You have replaced a failed fan within 48 hours.
v You have replaced a hot-swap drive within 2 minutes of its removal.

Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices, including your server.
To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages
until you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.
v Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal part of the server for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from
the package and from your body.
v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the server without
setting down the device. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into
its static-protective package. Do not place the device on your server cover or on
a metal surface.
v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces
indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Installing a memory module
The following notes describe the types of dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that
your server supports and other information that you must consider when installing
DIMMs:
v Your server supports industry-standard PC2700 and PC3200 double-data-rate
(DDR) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).
v The system board contains four DIMM connectors and supports two-way memory
interleaving.
v You can install 1, 2, or 4 DIMMs in your server, but not 3 DIMMs. It is not
supported.
v The DIMM options that are available for your server are 256 MB, 512 MB, and
1 GB. Your server supports a minimum of 256 MB and a maximum of 4 GB of
system memory.
v The amount of usable memory will be reduced depending on the system
configuration. A certain amount of memory must be reserved for system
resources. The BIOS will display the total amount of installed memory and the
amount of configured memory.
v Your server comes with one 256 MB or 512 MB DIMM installed in the DIMM 1
memory connector. If your server has one DIMM installed, when you install an
additional DIMM, it must be installed in DIMM 3 memory connector, and it must
be the same size, speed, type, and technology as the DIMM in the DIMM 1
memory connector. You can mix compatible DIMMs from various manufacturers.
When one DIMM is installed, the server runs as a single-channel server. When
you add a DIMM in the DIMM 3 memory connector, the server defaults to a
dual-channel server.
v DIMMs must be installed in matched pairs. If you install a second pair of DIMMs
in the DIMM 2 and DIMM 4 memory connectors, they do not have to be the
same size, speed, type, and technology as the DIMMs in the DIMM 1 and DIMM
3 memory connectors. However, the size, speed, type, and technology of the
DIMMs you install in the DIMM 2 and DIMM 4 memory connectors must match
each other.
v Install only 2.5 V, 184-pin, double-data-rate (DDR), PC2700 or PC3200,
unbuffered synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) with error
correcting code (ECC) DIMMs. These DIMMs must be compatible with the latest
PC2700 and PC3200 SDRAM unbuffered DIMM specification. For a list of
supported options for your server, go to http://www.ibm.com/us/compat/; then,
select your country and navigate to the list of options for your computer.
v When you restart your server after adding or removing a DIMM, the server
displays a message that the memory configuration has changed.
Complete the following steps to install a DIMM:
1. Read the safety information beginning on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 13.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords
and all external cables.
3. Remove the side cover (see “Removing the side cover” on page 15).
4. Remove the support bracket (see “Removing and installing the support
bracket” on page 17).
5. Locate the DIMM connectors on the system board. Determine the connectors
into which you will install the DIMMs. Install the DIMMs in the sequence shown
in the following table.

Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM
connectors, open and close the clips gently.
Open the retaining clips and, if necessary, remove any existing DIMM.
Touch the static-protective package containing the DIMM to any unpainted
metal surface on the server. Then, remove the new DIMM from the package.
Turn the DIMM so that the DIMM keys align correctly with the slot.
Insert the DIMM into the connector by aligning the edges of the DIMM with the
slots at the ends of the DIMM connector. Firmly press the DIMM straight down
into the connector by applying pressure on both ends of the DIMM
simultaneously. The retaining clips snap into the locked position when the
DIMM is firmly seated in the connector. If there is a gap between the DIMM
and the retaining clips, the DIMM has not been correctly installed. Open the
retaining clips, remove the DIMM, and then reinsert it.

Installing a hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive in bay 5, 6, or 7
Some server models come with hot-swap SCSI hard disk drives. Before you install
a hot-swap hard disk drive, read the following information:
v Inspect the drive tray for signs of damage.
v Make sure that the drive is correctly installed in the tray.
v To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 10
minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed in each drive bay.
v All hot-swap drives being used in the server must have the same speed rating;
mixing speed ratings will cause all drives to operate at the speed of the slowest
drive.
v You do not have to turn off the server to install hot-swap drives in the hot-swap
drive bays.
v Install hot-swap hard disk drives in this sequence: bay 7, bay 6, and bay 5.
v If your server has an optional RAID adapter, see the documentation that comes
with the adapter for instructions for installing a hard disk drive.
v Each hot-swap drive has two LEDs: the hard disk drive activity LED and the hard
disk drive status LED. When the green hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, it
indicates that the controller is accessing the hard disk drive. When the amber
hard disk drive status LED is lit continuously, it indicates that the drive is faulty
and must be replaced.

Power and signal cables for internal drives
Your server uses cables to connect parallel IDE, simple-swap Serial ATA, and SCSI
devices to the power supply and to the system board. (See “System-board internal
connectors” on page 9 for the location of system-board connectors.) Review the
following information before connecting power and signal cables to internal drives:
v The drives that are preinstalled in your server 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 signal cable drive connectors
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 master device.
v If two IDE devices are used on a single cable, one must be designated as the
master device and the other as the subordinate device; otherwise, the server
might not recognize some of the IDE devices. The master and subordinate
designation is determined by switch or jumper settings on each IDE device.
The following cables are provided:
v Power cables: Four-wire power cables connect the drives to the power supply.
At the end of these cables are plastic connectors that can be attached to
different drives; these connectors vary in size. Use either a four-wire power cable
or Serial ATA power cable with Serial ATA drives, but do not use both at the
same time (use one or the other).
v Signal cables: Signal cables are typically flat cables, also called ribbon cables,
that connect parallel IDE, Serial ATA, SCSI, and diskette drives to the system
board. Two or three types of signal cables come with your server:
– 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 or secondary IDE connector on the system board. The spare
connector can be used to connect an additional IDE drive to your server.
The CD-ROM 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 master IDE device. The gray middle
connector is attached to the subordinate IDE device.
– Diskette drive: The narrower signal cable has two connectors. One is
attached to the diskette drive, and the other is connected to the connector
(FDD1) on the system board.
– Serial ATA (SATA): The narrower, black signal cable has two connectors. One
is connected to the simple-swap Serial ATA drive, and the other is attached to
the connector on the system board. Each simple-swap Serial ATA drive comes
with a cable. If you install an additional simple-swap Serial ATA drive, you will
need an additional cable.
If you install the optional ServeRAID-7t S-ATA controller to add a third and
fourth SATA drive, all four SATA drives must then be connected to the
ServeRAID-7t S-ATA controller instead of the system board. The optional
ServeRAID-7t S-ATA controller comes with two cables that you can use to
cable the third and fourth SATA drives. See the optional ServeRAID-7t S-ATA
controller documentation for cabling instructions.
– SCSI: A round SCSI cable connects SCSI devices to the SCSI controller on
the system board.
32
xSeries 206 Type 8482: Installation Guide
- A round SCSI cable connects external SCSI devices to the SCSI controller
on the system board. For more information about connecting SCSI devices,
see the SCSI documentation.
- An Ultra320 twisted ribbon cable connects the internal Ultra320 SCSI hard
disk drive to the SCSI connector on the system board. This cable has four
additional connectors for attaching more internal SCSI devices. For
hot-swap models, the maximum cable length that supports Ultra320 SCSI
hard disk drives is 40 cm (16 in.).
Installing an adapter
The following notes describe the types of adapters that your server supports and
other information that you must consider when installing 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 need to change
the switch setting or jumper settings on the adapter, follow the instructions that
come with the adapter.
v Read the documentation that comes with your operating system.
v Your server comes with five PCI slots.
v The standard SCSI adapter is installed in the mini-PCI-X slot.
v You can install full-length adapters in all five PCI slots.
v You can install only 32-bit adapters in the 32-bit PCI slots 3 through 5 and 64-bit
adapters in the 64-bit PCI-X slots 1 and 2.
v The 32-bit PCI slots 3 through 5 support 5.0 V signaling PCI adapters; they do
not support 3.3 V signaling adapters. However, 64-bit adapters are supported if
they are universal adapters.
v The 64-bit PCI-X slots 1 and 2 support 3.3 V signaling PCI or PCI-X adapters;
they do not support 5.0 V signaling adapters.
v The PCI bus configuration is as follows:
– The 32-bit PCI slots 3 through 5 and the onboard ATI 7000M video adapter
are on the 33 MHz PCI bus.
– The 64-bit PCI-X slots 1 and 2 and the mini-PCI-X slot are on the 66 MHz
PCI-X bus.
v The optional IBM® Remote Supervisor Adapter II can be installed only in PCI-X
slot 2. Use the ribbon cable that comes with this adapter to connect it to the
Remote Supervisor Adapter II connector on the system board.
v If you install the optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II, you must disconnect
the video cable from the system board and connect it to the optional Remote
Supervisor Adapter II.
v The optional ServeRAID-6i+ controller can be installed only in PCI-X slot 1.
v The server scans the PCI-X slot 2, PCI-X slot 1, mini-PCI-X slot, and PCI slots 5,
4, and 3 to assign system resources. Then, the server starts the PCI devices in
the following order, if you have not changed the default startup sequence: PCI-X
slot 2, PCI-X slot 1, mini-PCI-X slot, system-board integrated drive electronics
(IDE) or SCSI devices (including the optional ServeRAID-6i+ controller), and then
PCI slots 5, 4, and 3.

Hot-swap hard disk drive status LED (some models)
On some server models, each hot-swap hard disk drive has a amber status
LED. If the amber status LED for a drive is lit continuously, that individual
drive is faulty. The interpretation of a flashing amber status LED depends
on the SCSI controller connected to the hot-swap drive, as follows:
When the drive is connected to an optional ServeRAID controller, a slowly
flashing (one flash per second) amber status LED indicates that the drive is
being rebuilt. When the LED is flashing rapidly (three flashes per second), it
indicates that the controller is identifying the drive.
Power-on LED
When this LED is lit and not flashing, it indicates that the server is turned
on. When this LED is flashing, it indicates that the server is off and still
connected to an ac power source (standby mode).

optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II, the systems-management software can
turn on the server.
v If your operating system supports the Wake on LAN feature, the Wake on LAN
feature can turn on the server.
v If an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II is installed in the server, the server
can be turned on from the Remote Supervisor Adapter II user interface.
Note: When 4 GB or more of memory (physical or logical) is installed, some
memory is reserved for various system resources and is unavailable to the
operating system. The amount of memory that is reserved for system
resources depends on the operating system, the configuration of the server,
and the configured PCI options.
Turning off the server
When you turn off the server and leave it connected to ac power, the server can
respond to remote requests to turn on the server. To remove all power from the
server, you must disconnect it from the power source.
Some operating systems require an orderly shutdown before you turn off the server.

Using the Adaptec HostRAID configuration programs
Use the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs and SCSISelect Utility (also
referred to as IBM ServeRAID-7e) to add RAID levels 0 and 1 functionality to the
integrated Serial ATA controller and the SCSI controller. Be sure to use these
programs as described in this document. Use these programs to:
v Configure a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) array
v View or change your RAID configuration and associated devices
Consider the following information when using the Adaptec RAID Configuration
Utility programs and SCSISelect Utility program to configure and manage arrays:
v The SCSI controller with integrated SCSI RAID (SCSI models) and the integrated
Serial ATA controller (SATA models) with integrated SATA RAID supports RAID
levels 0 and 1 with the option of having a hot-spare drive. Installing an optional
ServeRAID controller provides additional RAID levels.
v You cannot use the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD to configure the
integrated Serial ATA controller with integrated RAID and the SCSI controller with
integrated RAID.
v Hard disk drive capacities affect how you create arrays. Drives in an array can
have different capacities, but the RAID controller treats them as if they all have
the capacity of the smallest hard disk drive.
v To help ensure signal quality, do not mix drives with different speeds and data
rates.
v To update the firmware and BIOS code for an optional ServeRAID controller, you
must use the IBM ServeRAID Support CD that comes with the ServeRAID
option.
v If you install a different type of RAID controller in your server, use the
configuration method described in the instructions that come with that RAID
controller to view or change SCSI settings for attached devices.

Power-on self-test (POST)
When you turn on the server, the power-on self-test (POST) performs a series of
tests to check the operation of the server components and some of the installed
options.
If POST finishes without detecting any problems, the first window of your operating
system or application program opens.
If POST detects a problem, more than one beep might sound, an error message
might appear on your screen, or both.
Notes:
1. If you have set a user password, you must type the password and press Enter,
when prompted, before the operating system will start.
2.
A single problem might cause several error messages. When this occurs, work
to correct the cause of the first error message. After you correct the cause of
the first error message, the other error messages typically will be resolved the
next time you run the test.
POST beep code descriptions
POST emits one beep to signal successful completion. If POST detects a problem
during startup, other beep codes might occur. Use the following beep code
descriptions to help diagnose and solve problems that are detected during startup.
One beep
POST was completed successfully.
Repeating long beeps
A memory error has occurred. Make sure that all DIMMs are correctly
installed.
One long beep and two short beeps
A video error has occurred, and the BIOS cannot initialize the monitor
screen to display additional information.
No beep
The server successfully completed POST without finding any errors.
Continuous beep

Appendix B. IBM Statement of Limited Warranty Z125-4753-07
11/2002
Part 1 - General Terms
Part 1 - General Terms
This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms, Part 2 Country-unique Terms, and Part 3 - Warranty Information. The terms of Part 2
replace or modify those of Part 1. The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement
of Limited Warranty apply only to Machines you purchase for your use, and not for
resale. The term “Machine” means an IBM machine, its features, conversions,
upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combination of them. The term
“Machine” does not include any software programs, whether pre-loaded with the
Machine, installed subsequently or otherwise. Nothing in this Statement of
Limited Warranty affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be
waived or limited by contract.
What this Warranty Covers
IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and
workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official Published Specifications
(“Specifications”) which are available on request. The warranty period for the
Machine starts on the original Date of Installation and is specified in Part 3 Warranty Information. The date on your invoice or sales receipt is the Date of
Installation unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise. Many features,
conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to IBM. A
part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of the
removed part. Unless IBM specifies otherwise, these warranties apply only in the
country or region in which you purchased the Machine.
THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLACE
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE
EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES
ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES
APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT
ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO
THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
What this Warranty Does not Cover
This warranty does not cover the following:
v any software programs, whether pre-loaded or shipped with the Machine, or
installed subsequently;
v failure resulting from misuse (including but not limited to use of any Machine
capacity or capability, other than that authorized by IBM in writing), accident,
modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, or improper
maintenance by you;
v failure caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible; and
v any non-IBM products, including those that IBM may procure and provide with or
integrate into an IBM Machine at your request.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2004
73
The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of identification labels on the
Machine or its parts.
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.
Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such as
assistance via telephone with “how-to” questions and those regarding Machine
set-up and installation, is provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
How to Obtain Warranty Service
If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, contact
IBM or your reseller to obtain warranty service. If you do not register the Machine
with IBM, you may be required to present proof of purchase as evidence of your
entitlement to warranty service.
What IBM Will Do to Correct Problems
When you call for service, you must follow the problem determination and resolution
procedures that IBM specifies. A technician will attempt to make an initial diagnosis
of your problem and help you resolve it over the telephone.
The type of warranty service applicable to your Machine is specified in Part 3 Warranty Information.
You are responsible for downloading and installing designated Machine Code
(microcode, basic input/output system code (called “BIOS”), utility programs, device
drivers, and diagnostics delivered with an IBM Machine) and other software updates
from an IBM Internet Web site or from other electronic media, and following the
instructions that IBM provides.
If your problem can be resolved with a Customer Replaceable Unit (“CRU”) (e.g.,
keyboard, mouse, speaker, memory, hard disk drive and other easily replaceable
parts), IBM will ship these parts to you for replacement by you.
If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period and your
problem cannot be resolved over the telephone, through your application of
Machine Code or software updates, or with a CRU, IBM or your reseller, if approved
by IBM to provide warranty service, will either, at its discretion, 1) repair it to make it
function as warranted, or 2) replace it with one that is at least functionally
equivalent. If IBM is unable to do either, you may return the Machine to your place
of purchase and your money will be refunded.
IBM or your reseller will also manage and install selected engineering changes that
apply to the Machine.
Exchange of a Machine or Part
When the warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item
IBM or your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes
yours. You represent that all removed items are genuine and unaltered. The
replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order and at least
functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty
service status of the replaced item.
Your Additional Responsibilities
74
xSeries 206 Type 8482: Installation Guide
Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all
features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.
You also agree to:
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that
prevent its exchange;
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a
Machine that you do not own; and
3. where applicable, before service is provided:
a. follow the service request procedures that IBM or your reseller provides;
b. backup or secure all programs, data, and funds contained in the Machine;
c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your
facilities to permit IBM to fulfill its obligations; and
d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in the Machine’s location.
4. (a) ensure all information about identified or identifiable individuals (Personal
Data) is deleted from the Machine (to the extent technically possible), (b) allow
IBM, your reseller or an IBM supplier to process on your behalf any remaining
Personal Data as IBM or your reseller considers necessary to fulfill its
obligations under this Statement of Limited Warranty (which may include
shipping the Machine for such processing to other IBM service locations around
the world), and (c) ensure that such processing complies with any laws
applicable to such Personal Data.
Limitation of Liability
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine only while it is 1) in
IBM’s possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the
transportation charges.
Neither IBM nor your reseller are responsible for any of your confidential,
proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return to IBM
for any reason. You should remove all such information from the Machine prior to its
return.
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM’s part or other
liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance,
regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from IBM
(including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or
tort claim), except for any liability that cannot be waived or limited by applicable
laws, IBM is liable for no more than
1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and
tangible personal property; and
2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges (if recurring,
12 months’ charges apply) for the Machine that is subject of the claim. For
purposes of this item, the term “Machine” includes Machine Code and Licensed
Internal Code (“LIC”).
This limit also applies to IBM’s suppliers and your reseller. It is the maximum for
which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively responsible.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR RESELLERS
LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING EVEN IF INFORMED OF THEIR
POSSIBILITY: 1) THIRD PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES
(OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2) LOSS OF,
OR DAMAGE TO, DATA; 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES
