9223-22S

– For racks with a DC power distribution panel (PDP), turn off the circuit breaker that controls
the power to the system unit(s), or disconnect the customer’s DC power source, when directed
to disconnect power during servicing.
• Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the same rack
cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device installed in one rack cabinet into a power device
installed in a different rack cabinet.
• An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on the metal parts
of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to
ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock. (R001 part
1 of 2)
(R001 part 2 of 2):
CAUTION:
• Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed the
manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your rack-mounted devices.
• Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not
blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air flow through the unit.
• Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that
overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection.
To provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the
equipment in the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.
•(For sliding drawers.) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer brackets
are not attached to the rack or if the rack is not bolted to the floor. Do not pull out more than one
drawer at a time. The rack might become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time.
•(For xed drawers.) This drawer is a xed drawer and must not be moved for servicing unless
specied by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer partially or completely out of the
rack might cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack. (R001
part 2 of 2)
CAUTION: Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack
stability during relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate a populated rack
cabinet within a room or building.
• Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the top of the rack
cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the conguration of the rack cabinet as you
received it. If this conguration is not known, you must observe the following precautions:
– Remove all devices in the 32U position and above.
– Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
Safety noticesvii

– Ensure that there are little-to-no empty U-levels between devices installed in the rack cabinet
below the 32U level, unless the received conguration specically allowed it.
• If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets, detach the rack cabinet
from the suite.
• If the rack cabinet you are relocating was supplied with removable outriggers they must be
reinstalled before the cabinet is relocated.
• Inspect the route that you plan to take to eliminate potential hazards.
• Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded rack cabinet. Refer to
the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.
• Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 2083 mm (30 x 82 in.).
• Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure.
• Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position.
• Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet during movement.
• Do not use a ramp inclined at more than 10 degrees.
• When the rack cabinet is in the new location, complete the following steps:
– Lower the four leveling pads.
– Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet or in an earthquake environment bolt the rack to
the floor.
– If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack cabinet from the lowest
position to the highest position.
• If a long-distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the conguration of the rack
cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in the original packaging material, or equivalent.
Also lower the leveling pads to raise the casters off of the pallet and bolt the rack cabinet to the

1High-performance slot that is directly connected to the processor module. The connectors in these slots are differently colored than the slots from the PCIe3
switches.
2Slots P1-C6 and P1-C12 have Gen3 x16 connectors, but will only function as Gen3 x8.
3Slots P1-C2 and P1-C8 have Gen4 x16 connectors, but will only function as Gen4 x8.
4Slot connected by PCIe3 switches.
5If FC EJ05 is installed in this slot, the external SAS port is not allowed in the system.
6Enabling the I/O adapter enlarged capacity option will only affect Linux partitions. If your system doesn’t have Linux partitions, the I/O Adapter Enlarged
Capacity setting should be disabled.
Notes:
• The peak bandwidths supported by the x16 slots are 32 gigabytes per second (GBps) in simplex mode and 64 GBps in duplex mode.
• The peak bandwidths supported by P1-C6, P1-C7, P1-C11, and P1-C12 x8 slots are 8 GBps in simplex mode and 16 Gbps in duplex mode.
• The peak bandwidths supported by P1-C2 and P1-C8 x8 slots are 16 GBps in simplex mode and 32 GBps in duplex mode.
• All slots support enhanced error handling (EEH).
• All PCIe slots are hot swappable and support concurrent maintenance.
Firmware slot capabilities
System PCIe slots are allocated direct memory access (DMA) space using the following algorithm:
• All slots are allocated a 2 GB default DMA window.
• All I/O adapter slots (except the embedded USB) are allocated Dynamic DMA Window (DDW) capability
based on installed platform memory. DDW capability is calculated assuming 4 K I/O mappings:
– For systems with less than 64 GB of memory, slots are allocated 16 GB of DDW capability.
– For systems with at least 64 GB of memory, but less than 128 GB of memory, slots are allocated 32
GB of DDW capability.
– For systems with 128 GB or more of memory, slots are allocated 64 GB of DDW capability.
– Slots can be enabled with Huge Dynamic DMA Window capability (HDDW) using the I/O Adapter
Enlarged Capacity setting in the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI).
– HDDW enabled slots are allocated enough DDW capability to map all of installed platform memory
using 64 K I/O mappings.
– Minimum DMA window size for HDDW enabled slots is 32 GB.
– Slots that are HDDW enabled are allocated the larger of the calculated DDW capability and HDDW
capability.
