Notices and statements used in this book
This information product contains notices and statements that relate to a specific
topic. The Caution and Danger statements also appear in the multilingual safety
information provided with your product. Each safety statement is numbered for easy
reference to the corresponding statements in the safety information on the IBM
xSeries 330 Documentation CD.
The notice and statements definitions are as follows:
•Notes: These notices provide important tips, guidance, or advice.
•Important: These notices provide information or advice that might help you avoid
inconvenient or problem situations.
•Attention: These notices indicate possible damage to programs, devices, or
data. An attention statement is placed just before the instruction or situation in
which damage could occur.
•Caution: These statements indicate situations that can be potentially hazardous
to you. A caution statement is placed just before the description of a potentially
hazardous procedure step or situation.
•Danger: These statements indicate situations that can be potentially lethal or
extremely hazardous to you. A danger statement is placed just before the
description of a potentially lethal or extremely hazardous procedure step or
situation.
Before you begin
Before you begin to install options in your server, read the following information:
•Become familiar with the information provided in “Safety”on page v and “Handling
static-sensitive devices”. These guidelines will help you work safely while
working with your server options.
•Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical
outlets for your server, monitor, and any other options that you intend to install.
•Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
•For a list of supported options for the xSeries 330, refer to
http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat on the World Wide Web.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To
avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective package until
you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
•Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
•Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame
•Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
•Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
device.

4 IBM®xSeries 330: Installation Guide
•While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal part of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This drains static electricity
from the package and from your body.)
•Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit
without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it in its
static-protective package. Do not place the device on your system unit cover or
on a metal table.
•Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather; heating reduces
indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Chapter 2. Installing options
This chapter provides basic information that is needed to install hardware options in
your server. For more detailed installation information, see the User’s Reference on
the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.
Removing the cover
Use the following procedure to remove the cover.
1. Review the safety precautions beginning on page v.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and
power cords.
3. Remove the two screws on the rear of the server.
4. Pull the cover-release lever back.
5. Slide the cover off the server.
Note: You might need to remove the clear plastic shield to reach some parts in the
server. For proper cooling and airflow, replace the clear plastic shield before
replacing the cover.
Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, replace the cover before turning on the
server. Operating the server for extended periods of time (over 30 minutes) with the
cover removed might damage server components.
Working with adapters
Your server comes with two peripheral component interconnect (PCI) adapter slots on
the system board with riser cards installed in them.
Attention: Your server comes with an integrated video controller on the system
board. When you install a video adapter in a PCI slot, the server BIOS automatically
disables the integrated video controller. This enables the video adapter in the PCI slot
to control the video functions for your monitor.

The following illustration shows the location of the 33 MHz PCI expansion slots on the
system board.
Adapter considerations
Before you install adapters, review the following:
•Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those
instructions in addition to the instructions in this chapter. If you need to change the
switch settings or jumper settings on your adapter, follow the instructions that
come with the adapter.
•You can install 32-bit or 64-bit full-length or half-length adapters in the expansion
slots. Full-length adapters are installed in slot 1; half-length adapters are installed
in either slot 1 or 2.
•Your server supports 5.0 V and universal PCI adapters; it does not support 3.3 V
only adapters.
•Your server uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI adapters. You
can use this technique to install PCI adapters that currently do not support
sharing of PCI interrupts.
•PCI slots 1 and 2 and the integrated SCSI controller are on PCI bus B; the system
board and all other integrated devices are on PCI bus A.
Note: PCI bus A is bus 0; PCI bus B is bus 1.
•The system scans PCI slots 1 and 2 to assign system resources. By default, the
system starts (boots) devices in the following order: system IDE and SCSI
devices, then PCI devices.
Note: To change the startup order, start the Configuration/Setup Utility program,
and select Start Options from the main menu. Then, select the PCI SCSI
adapter boot option.
PCI slot 1
64 bit
33 MHz (J10)
PCI slot 2
64 bit
33 MHz (J23)

Chapter 2. Installing options 7
Installing an adapter
Complete the following steps to install an adapter:
Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid
damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, see “Handling
static-sensitive devices”on page 3.
1. Review the safety precautions beginning on page v.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices.
3. Remove all external cables from the server; then, remove the server cover. For
detailed instructions to remove the cover, see “Removing the cover”on page 5.
4. Remove the expansion slot clip that holds the expansion-slot cover in place by
sliding it upward and off the frame of the server.
5. Remove the expansion-slot cover.

8 IBM®xSeries 330: Installation Guide
8. Install the adapter:
a. Open the adapter-retention latch by pushing the blue tab to release it. Then,
push the latch up to the full open position.
b. Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners, and align it with
the connector on the PCI riser card.
c. Press the adapter firmly into the riser-card connector.
Attention: When you install an adapter, be sure that the adapter is correctly
seated in the riser-card connector before you turn on the server. Improperly
seated adapters might cause damage to the system board, the riser card, or
the adapter.
d. Push down on the blue adapter-retention latch until it clicks into place,
securing the adapter.
e. Replace the expansion-slot clip by sliding it down until it latches into place
and holds the adapter securely.
9. Connect the internal cables to the adapter.
Attention: Route cables so that they do not block the flow of air from the fans.
10. If you have other options to install, install them now. Otherwise, continue with
“Installing the cover”on page 14.
