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.

v Locate 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.

v Read the documentation that comes with your operating system.

v The 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

v Some server models come with a ServeRAID-BR10il SAS/SATA RAID controller

installed. The ServeRAID-BR10il controller enables integrated RAID levels-0 and

level-1.

v You can install full-length adapters that are included in the supported options list

in slots 1 through 5 (depending on your model).

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 The 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.

v See http://www.lenovo.com/thinkserver and click the Options tab for a list of

supported options.

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.

5. Rotate the rear adapter-retention bracket to the open position and remove it

from the server.
