Figure 4-4. Inside the System
The I/O board can accommodate up to eight PCI expansion cards (seven PCI or PCI-X cards at 32- or 64-bit/33-100 MHz and one PCI card at 32-bit/33 MHz). The system memory is contained on two separate riser cards that must be populated with at least two memory modules each for the system to operate. The system provides space for a 3.5-inch diskette drive and a CD drive.
The PDB provides hot-plug logic, and power distribution for the system. The hot-pluggable power supplies that connect to the PDB provide power to the system and internal peripherals. Each hot-pluggable power supply has its own AC power input to provide AC power redundancy.
The hard-drive bays provide space for up to five 1-inch hard drives. The hard drives connect to a SCSI or RAID controller through the SCSI backplane board. Interface cables connect externally accessible SCSI devices and the SCSI backplane board to a SCSI controller on either the I/O riser card or a RAID controller card. For non-SCSI drives such as the diskette drive and CD drive, an interface cable connects the interposer board, attached to the CD/diskette drive tray, to the peripheral riser card (for more information, see "Hard Drives").
During an installation or service procedure, you may be required to change a jumper. For information on the system jumpers, see "Jumpers and Connectors."
The front panel LCD control panel provides status information using an alphanumeric character display.

indicator becomes green to signify that the power supply is functioning properly (see
Figure 3-5).
|
- Replace the back cover (see "Replacing the Back Cover").
The system includes eight hot-pluggable expansion slots. Slot 1 operates at 33 MHz. Slots 2 through 8 are capable of operating at 33, 66, or 100 MHz. The expansion slots are on six different PCI buses (see Figure 5-3 for expansion-card buses and operating speeds).
- If you are installing a remote access card, it must be installed in slot 1. Slot 1 operates at 33 MHz.
- RAID controller cards must be installed in expansion slots 2 or 3.
- You can install expansion cards of different operating speeds on the same bus; however, all cards on the same bus will operate at the speed of the slowest card on that bus. For example, if one card on the bus has an operating speed of 66 MHz and the other card has an operating speed of 100 MHz, the bus will only operate at 66 MHz.
- To optimize performance, install only one expansion card on a single PCI bus. Otherwise, install only cards of the same operating speed on the same PCI bus. To identify PCI buses, see Figure 5-3.
- If you are replacing an expansion card with a card of a slower operating speed, you must power down the system to install the replacement card.
- If the expansion card you are installing is of a slower operating speed as the cards already installed on the same PCI bus, you must power down all expansion slots on that bus. This action will ensure that all expansion cards on that bus will power up at the same operating speed. Otherwise, you can install the expansion card in an expansion slot that is alone on a PCI bus or on a PCI bus having cards of the same or slower operating speeds. To identify PCI buses, see Figure 5-3.
- Certain operating systems only support "hot-replace," in which a hot-pluggable expansion card is replaced with its exact equivalent, using the same PCI resources.
- If you are hot-plugging a NIC expansion card, you must either hot-plug the NIC card in an expansion slot that is alone on a PCI bus or on a PCI bus having no card other than another NIC. To identify PCI buses, see Figure 5-3.
- If you have trouble hot-plugging a particular expansion card, turn off your system before installing the card. If the problem persists, see "Obtaining Technical Assistance."
The system's BIOS scans and numbers PCI buses and devices during startup. Expansion slots are scanned according to the host bus ordering, not by the slot numbers. See Table 4-1 for the order in which the expansion slots and embedded PCI devices are scanned. Figure 5-3 provides a diagram of buses and expansion slots.
Several additional factors affect the assignment of PCI bus numbers:
- An expansion card may have its own PCI bridge chip which requires the assignment of a bus number for the card and one for the bridge. A particular expansion card may have two PCI bridge chips which would result in three sequential PCI bus numbers all assigned in the same expansion slot.
- BIOS reserves PCI bus numbers that can be used when a hot-pluggable expansion card having its own PCI bridge chip is installed in the system.
Certain operating systems do not allow the PCI bus number of the system's boot controller to change after the operating system loads. Installing an expansion card with its own PCI bridge chip in an expansion slot earlier in the PCI bus scan order than the boot controller can cause the renumbering of the boot controller PCI bus number.
To allow your operating system to properly utilize the boot controller expansion card, install the boot controller card, such as a RAID or SCSI controller card, in expansion slot 2.
If you install expansion cards, you may have some difficulty in directly determining the bus number of a controller on a particular expansion card. However, the PCI bus scan order listed in Table 4-1 can help determine the relative numbering of PCI buses within the expansion slots. For example, a PCI controller residing in expansion slot 3 will never have a lower bus number than one in slot 2 because slot 2 precedes slot 3 in the scan order.

The memory modules are contained on two memory riser cards. Each riser card has eight memory module sockets. Between the two memory riser cards, the system can accommodate 512 MB to 16 GB of registered memory modules. The memory module sockets on each riser card are arranged in pairs (A and B) on four banks (1–4). Two sockets on each riser card compose one bank (see Figure 4-15). Each bank must contain four identical memory modules. For example, if bank 1 sockets on one riser card contain 128-MB memory modules, bank 1 sockets on the other riser card must also contain 128-MB memory modules. For the system to operate, at least bank 1 must contain four identical memory modules. The memory modules must be installed starting with bank 1 and ending with bank 4 (see Figure 4-15).
To obtain the desired total memory for your system, you may need to install memory modules of different sizes. This configuration is supported as long as the memory modules installed in each bank are the same size. For example, if you wanted the total memory in your system to be 6 GB, each memory riser card configuration could be as follows:
The system is upgradable to 16 GB by installing combinations of 128-, 256-, 512-MB, and 1-GB registered memory modules. You can purchase memory upgrade kits as needed.
|
NOTE: The memory modules must be PC-1600 compliant.
|
Memory module sockets are arranged in pairs, labeled A and B, on each memory riser card. A pair of sockets on each memory riser card forms a single memory bank. See Figure 4-15 to identify the sockets on a memory riser card.
When you install memory modules, follow these guidelines:
- Each bank must contain identical modules. You must install memory modules in matched sets of four, two in each memory riser card (see Figure 4-15).
- Install identical memory modules in sockets A and B for bank 1 before installing modules in sockets for bank 2, and so on.
- If you are populating memory banks using differently sized memory modules, you must populate the memory banks in decreasing size of memory modules starting with the largest size of memory modules in bank 1.
- Memory banks must be populated sequentially, which means that there can be no empty banks between the first and last populated banks.
Figure 4-15. Memory Module Sockets
|
NOTE: Table 4-3 is a sample configuration of just one memory riser card. For the total
desired memory, you must configure both riser cards identically with the same memory module
sizes.

If you are installing a SCSI tape drive in the peripheral bay, you must connect it to the I/O riser card. If you are installing SCSI hard drives in the peripheral bay, you must connect the interface cable from the peripheral bay's daughter card to a RAID controller card.
These interface connectors are keyed for correct insertion. Keying ensures that the pin-1 wire in the cable connects to pin 1 in the connectors on both ends.
When you disconnect an interface cable, take care to grasp the cable connector, rather than the cable itself, to avoid stress on the cable.
Although SCSI devices are installed in essentially the same way as other devices, their configuration requirements are different. To configure a SCSI device installed in the peripheral bay, follow the guidelines in the following subsections.
Each device attached to a SCSI host adapter must have a unique SCSI ID number from 0 to 15.
A SCSI tape drive is configured as SCSI ID 6 (the default ID number for a tape drive).
|
NOTE: It is not required that SCSI ID numbers be assigned sequentially or that
devices be attached to the cable according to ID number.
|
SCSI logic requires that the two devices at opposite ends of the SCSI chain be terminated and that all devices in between be unterminated. The SCSI cable included in the upgrade kit has an active terminator installed at the end of the cable. Therefore, when configuring the devices in the peripheral bay, you should disable the device's termination.
This subsection describes how to remove or replace and configure hard drives in the system's internal hard-drive bays and how to install or replace a RAID controller card.
The hard-drive bays provide space for up to five 1-inch hard drives. The hard drives connect to a SCSI or RAID controller through the backplane board. Interface cables connect the backplane board to a SCSI controller on either the I/O riser card or a RAID controller card.
Before attempting to remove or install a drive while the system is running, see the documentation for the RAID controller card to ensure that the card is configured correctly to support hot-pluggable drive removal and insertion.
Hard drives are supplied in special drive carriers that fit into the hard-drive bays.
|
NOTE: You should use only drives that have been tested and approved for use with this
system.
|
You may need to use different programs than those provided with the operating system to partition and format hard drives. See "Installing and Configuring SCSI Drivers" in the User's Guide for information and instructions.
|
NOTICE: Do not turn off or reboot your system while the drive is being formatted. Doing so can
cause a drive failure.
|
When you format a high-capacity hard drive, allow enough time for the formatting to be completed. Long format times for these drives are normal. For example, an exceptionally large drive can take over an hour to format.
|
NOTICE: When installing a hard drive, ensure that the adjacent drives are fully installed.
Inserting a hard-drive carrier and attempting to lock its handle next to a partially installed
carrier can damage the partially installed carrier's shield spring and make it unusable.
|
|
NOTICE: Not all operating systems support hot-plug drive installation. See the documentation
supplied with your operating system.
|
- Remove the bezel (see "Removing the Bezel").
- Open the hard-drive carrier handle (see Figure 4-19).
Figure 4-19. Installing a Hard Drive
|
NOTICE: Do not insert a hard-drive carrier and attempt to lock its handle next to a partially
installed carrier. Doing so can damage the partially installed carrier's shield spring and make it

|
NOTICE: Not all operating systems support hot-plug drive installation. See the documentation
supplied with your operating system.
|
- Remove the bezel (see "Removing the Bezel").
- Take the hard drive offline and wait until the hard-drive indicator codes on the drive
carrier signal that the drive may be removed safely.
If the drive has been online, the drive status indicator blinks green two times per second as the drive is powered down. When all indicators are off, the drive is ready for removal.
See your operating system documentation for more information about taking the hard drive offline.
- Open the hard-drive carrier handle to release the drive (see Figure 4-19).
- Slide the hard drive out until it is free of the drive bay (see Figure 4-19).
If you are permanently removing the hard drive, install a blank insert.
