Cabling a ServeRAID adapter
Some SS3840 models come with an optional ServeRAID
™
adapter installed
to control the internal hot-swap hard disk drives. If you are installing an optional IBM
ServeRAID adapter, see the ServeRAID documentation and the cabling information in
this section to install the ServeRAID adapter.
Servers that do not come with an ServeRAID adapter installed come with two
SCSI cables:
•
One end of the first SCSI cable is attached to the connector on the SCSI back-
plane, and the other end is attached to the connector for the integrated SCSI con-
troller behind fans 3 and 4.
•
The second SCSI cable is preinstalled along the inside of the server chassis and
both ends are loose inside the server. When you install a ServeRAID adapter, you
will connect this cable to the adapter and to the SCSI backplane.
The following procedure describes the internal cabling needed to install a ServeRAID
adapter.
Complete the following steps to cable the ServeRAID adapter.
1.
Review the information in “Safety” on page v, “Before you begin” on page 3, and
“Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 4.
2.
Turn off the server and disconnect all power cords and external cables; then, open
the server cover (see “Opening the cover” on page 7).
3.
Remove fans 3 and 4, which are located just behind the PCI-X slots (see the illus-
tration on page 5 for the location of the fans).
4.
Disconnect the short SCSI cable from the SCSI backplane and the integrated
SCSI controller; then, store this short cable in a safe place for future use.
5.
Install the ServeRAID adapter in a PCI-X slot (see “Installing adapters” on page
9).
6.
Locate the preinstalled SCSI cable; then, attach a connector on the cable to the
ServeRAID adapter.
