The following is an illustration of the internal audio cable that comes with your option package.

1.The internal audio cable has a split-connector end and a single-connector

end. Connect one of the split-connector ends to the audio-out connector on the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive. If you have another CD-ROM, CD-RW or DVD-ROM drive, attach the other split-connector end to the audio-out connector on this drive. Attach the single-connector end to your sound adapter.

2. Attach a 40-pin IDE-cable connector

to the IDE connector on the drive.

Align the cable so that the color-coded edge is closest to the power cable

connector

. Use the IDE cable that is provided with this option if there

is no cable attached to the IDE connector. The IDE cable can have up to three connectors. For the best signal quality when you are connecting only one device to the IDE cable, connect one end of the cable to the IDE connector, and connect the other end of the cable to the device. Do not use the middle connector. Use the IDE cable that is provided with this option if there is no cable attached to the computer IDE connector, or if there is only one device connector on the computer IDE cable.

If you are connecting two devices to the IDE cable, connect one end of the cable to the IDE connector, and connect the master and subordinate devices to the remaining connectors on the other end. Many computers have two cables for attaching up to four ATA devices. For best performance, attach fast devices (such as hard disk drives) to the cable that is connected to the primary IDE connector, and connect the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive or other slower devices (such as CD-ROM drives, tape drives, and removable media) to the cable that is connected to the secondary IDE connector.

3. Attach a four-pin power cable to the power connector on the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive.

Be sure that the cables will not be pinched or crowded by the computer cover and that all other cable and power connections are secure.

Step 7. Completing the hardware installation

1.Be sure that the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive is securely mounted and that the connectors are firmly attached.

2.Be sure that the cables do not interfere with the computer cover and that they do not block the power-supply fan blades or airflow paths.

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.
