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
have
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
The
server
comes
with
the
following
adapter
connectors
or
slots:
–
Slot
1,
PCI
Express
x8
–
Slot
2,
PCI
Express
x4
(x1)
Important:
The
x1
designation
in
parentheses
for
slot
2
identifies
an
x4
slot
that
is
designed
to
support
x1
and
x4
adapters
that
can
downshift
to
operate
at
the
x1
bandwidth.
For
example,
if
you
install
an
x4
adapter
in
slot
2
that
can
downshift
to
x1
bandwidth,
it
will
run
at
the
x1
bandwidth.
The
x4
connector
(slot
2)
can
be
used
for
x1
and
x4
adapters.
Check
the
information
that
comes
with
your
adapter
for
compatibility
information.

Some
server
models
come
with
a
mini-SAS/SATA
RAID
controller
installed.
The
mini-SAS/SATA
RAID
controller
enables
integrated
RAID
levels-0
and
level-1.
Some
models
also
come
with
a
ServeRAID-MR10i
SAS/SATA
controller
that
enables
integrated
RAID
level
5
capability.
v
The
ServeRAID-MR10i
SAS/SATA
controller
must
be
installed
in
slot
1,
PCI
Express
x8.
v
You
can
install
the
mini-PCI-X
enablement
card
or
the
mini-SAS/SATA
RAID
controller
in
the
mini-PCI
slot
on
the
system
board.
v
When
an
optional
mini-PCI-X
enablement
card
is
installed
in
the
mini-PCI
slot,
it
passes
PCI-X
signals
from
the
mini-PCI-X
enablement
card
to
PCI-X
slot
3.
v
When
an
optional
mini-PCI-X
enablement
card
is
installed
in
the
server,
the
server
cannot
support
RAID
levels-0
and
level-1.
v
You
can
install
supported
full-length
adapters
in
slots
1
through
5
(depending
on
your
model).
v
The
64-bit
slot
3
supports
3.3
V
PCI-X
adapters.
v
The
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.
v
An
optional
IBM
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
SlimLine
can
be
installed
only
in
the
systems-management
Ethernet
connector
on
the
system
board.
See
for
the
location
of
the
connector.
For
additional
information,
see
the
documentation
that
comes
with
this
adapter.
v
When
you
start
the
server
for
the
first
time
after
you
install
a
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
SlimLine,
the
startup
process
will
take
several
minutes
longer
