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. Adapter that the server supports might vary, depending on your server model.

vLocate 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 setting or jumper settings on the adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter.

vRead the documentation that comes with your operating system.

vThe server comes with the following adapter connectors or slots:

–Slot 1, PCIe2 x8 (x8, x4, x1) 25W

–Slot 2, PCIe2 x8 (x8, x4, x1) 25W

–Slot 3, PCIe2 x1 10W

–Slot 4, PCI 32bit, 33MHz

–Slot 5, PCI 32bit, 33MHz

vSome server models come with a ServeRAID-BR10il SAS/SATA RAID controller installed. The ServeRAID-BR10il controller enables integrated RAID levels-0 and level-1.

vYou can install full-length adapters that are included in the supported options list in slots 1 through 5 (depending on your model).

vThe 32-bit slots 4 and 5 support 5.0 V keyed PCI adapters; they do not support 3.3 V keyed adapters. Universal adapters are supported in slots 4 and 5 if they are universally keyed.

vThe server scans PCI Express Gen 2 x8 (x8) slot 1, PCI Express Gen 2 x8 (x8) slot 2, PCI Express Gen 2 x4 (x4) slot 3, and PCI slots 4 and 5 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 Express Gen 2 x8 (x8) slot 1, PCI Express Gen 2 x8 (x8) slot 2, PCI Express Gen 2 x4 (x4) slot 3, PCI slot 4, and PCI slot 5.

To install an adapter, complete the following steps.

Note: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered-on might cause the server to stop, which might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when you work inside the server with the power on.

1.Read the safety information that begins on page vii and “Installation guidelines” on page 29.

2.Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and power cords; then, remove the side cover. See “Removing the side cover” on page 32.

3.Follow the cabling instructions, if any, that come with the adapter. Route the adapter cables before you install the adapter.

4.Follow the instructions that come with the adapter to set jumpers or switches, if any.
