Step 3. Setting the configuration jumpers

You can configure your drive as master

, slave

, or cable-select

, by

placing the jumper over the configuration pins as shown.

 

Use the following guidelines to determine the correct configuration for your CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive.

vConfigure the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive as a master if it will be the only device that is connected to the IDE cable. This is the preset configuration.

vConfigure the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive as a slave if it will be the second device on an IDE cable. Be sure to configure the other device as a master. In some cases, a hard disk drive might require a “master with slave present” jumper setting when another device on the same cable is configured as a slave. For more information on setting configuration jumpers on other devices, refer to the documentation that comes with your computer.

vSome non-IBM computers use special ATA cables with two wires reversed in the device connectors so that the drives can be configured by the cable instead of by jumper position. Use the cable-select position only for computers that are equipped with these special cables. See the documentation that comes with your computer to determine if your ATA adapter requires that you place the jumpers in the cable-select position.

If you place the jumper in the cable-select position, the IDE cable automatically assigns the master and slave settings based on the position of the drive on the cable. You must use the cable-select setting for this cabling system whether the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive is the only device or the second device connected to the cable. The drive closest to the IDE controller is automatically the master drive. Any other devices on the IDE cable must also be set to cable-select.

22P6975 specifications

The IBM 22P6975 is a crucial component within the IBM information technology ecosystem, specifically designed to enhance the capabilities of IBM servers. It is a high-performance memory module that plays a significant role in improving overall system efficiency, reliability, and speed. Particularly, it is built to fit into IBM System x and BladeCenter systems, making it a versatile option for various configurations.

One of the standout features of the IBM 22P6975 is its DDR3 SDRAM technology. DDR3 memory is known for its data transfer rates and reduced power consumption compared to its predecessors. The 22P6975 operates at a speed of 1333 MHz, although it can also support speeds up to 1600 MHz, providing an efficient solution for demanding server applications. Its architecture supports improved bandwidth and lower latency, which are vital for performance-intensive tasks.

In terms of capacity, the IBM 22P6975 typically comes with a size of 4GB, allowing for ample memory space for running multiple applications and services simultaneously. The module is designed with a 240-pin DIMM form factor, making it easily installable in compatible server systems. The Registered ECC (Error-Correcting Code) feature is another significant advantage, as it enhances data integrity by detecting and correcting internal data corruption, thus ensuring maximum uptime and reliability for critical applications.

The memory module is also designed with thermal management in mind. It operates efficiently within a wide range of temperatures, making it suitable for enterprise environments where reliability is paramount. The IBM 22P6975 adheres to stringent industry standards and provides backward compatibility with earlier memory technologies, ensuring businesses can upgrade their systems without having to overhaul existing infrastructure.

Furthermore, the 22P6975 is part of IBM's commitment to sustainability, as it operates at lower power levels, which reduces energy consumption and operational costs. This feature not only benefits the environment but also contributes to the overall cost-effectiveness of maintaining a data center.

In summary, the IBM 22P6975 memory module is characterized by its advanced DDR3 technology, substantial memory capacity, ECC capabilities, and energy-efficient operation. It is an integral part of IBM's server solutions, delivering reliability and performance for businesses that require robust IT infrastructure. This module is a valuable investment for any organization looking to enhance their computing capabilities while ensuring data integrity and system reliability.
