Adapter considerations
Before you install adapters, review the following:
v
Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those
instructions in addition to the instructions given in this chapter. If you need to
change switch or jumper settings on your adapter, follow the instructions that
come with the adapter.
v
You can install full-length adapters in all PCI slots.
v
You can install a 32-bit adapter in any of the PCI slots, but you might want to
install it in a 32-bit slot and use the 64-bit slots for 64-bit adapters.
v
The server supports 5.0 V and universal PCI adapters; it does not support 3.3 V
adapters.
v
The server uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI adapters.
Because of this technique, you can install a variety of PCI adapters that currently
do not support sharing of PCI interrupts.
v
The server has two PCI buses. PCI slots 1 and 2 are on PCI bus A and PCI slots
3, 4, and 5 are on PCI bus B.
Note:
PCI bus A is sometimes referred to as bus 0; PCI bus B is sometimes
referred to as bus 1.
The system scans PCI slots 1 through 5 to assign system resources; then the
system starts (boots) the PCI devices in the following order: PCI slots 1 and 2,
system board SCSI devices, and then PCI slots 3 through 5.
v
If you plan to use the Wake on LAN (WOL) function in the server, you must
install a Wake on LAN-enabled NIC adapter in PCI slot 1, and install the Wake
on LAN cable that comes with the Wake on LAN adapter to connect this adapter
to the system board. You must use a Wake on LAN-enabled adapter as identified
in the xSeries 220 ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/. Only
PCI slot 1 supports a Wake on LAN-enabled adapter. For additional information
on the Wake on LAN function, adapters, and cables, refer to the documentation
that comes with the Wake on LAN adapters.
v
If you plan to use the optional system management adapter in the server, you
must install the optional system management adapter in PCI slot 2. Only PCI
slot 2 supports the optional system management adapter. For additional
Installing options
