Installing the 58/02 and 58/77 expansion units
Use this overview as a guide to the tasks required for installing the 58/02 and 58/77 expansion units
(12X I/O Drawer PCIe) into a rack and cabling it to a server.
Procedure
You can use the following table to read about and complete the high-level tasks for installing the 58/02
and 58/77 expansion units.
Table 1. Tasks to install the expansion unit into a rack
Task
Where to find associated information
Perform inventory.
Ensure that you have the rails.
Ensure that you have both a Philips-head and flat-head
screwdriver.
Locate the inventory list for your expansion unit, and
verify that you received all of the parts that you ordered.
Each order contains, at a minimum, the following items:
v
Left and right rack-mounting rails
v
Mounting screws
v
Power supply cables
If your shipment contains parts that are not required to
complete the installation procedure, store those parts
until they are required to be used.
You can also obtain order information from your
marketing representative or IBM
®
Business Partner.
Check the firmware level for the server to which you are
connecting the expansion unit.
To ensure that server firmware has been updated to a
level that supports this expansion unit, see the IBM
Prerequisite (https://www-912.ibm.com/e_dir/
eserverprereq.nsf).
Verify that you have a rack.
You must have a rack installed. If you do not have a rack
installed, see Installing the rack (http://
publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/hw/
topic/p7hbf/installrack.htm).
Prepare to install the expansion unit.
To ensure that you have taken all preparatory steps to
install this expansion unit, see Installing the 5802 or 5877
in a rack (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/
systems/scope/hw/topic/p7ham/
p7ham_5802_prepare.htm).
Power off the system, if required, to install the expansion
unit.
For requirements and procedures related to shutting
down and powering off the system, see Overview for
I/O expansion units (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/
infocenter/systems/scope/hw/topic/p7ham/
p7hamconcepts.htm).
Determine where to install the expansion unit in the
rack.
For suggestions about how to organize the hardware in
your rack and to assign a location for the expansion unit,
see step 2 on page 3.
Mark the location on the rack where the expansion unit
will be installed.
If you have a rack-mounting template for the disk drive
enclosure, use it to mark the location.
If you do not have a rack-mounting template, see step
2d2 on page 4.
