6. Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners, and pull the
adapter from the PCI expansion slot.
7. If the adapter is a full-length adapter in the upper expansion slot of the PCI
riser-card assembly and you do not intend to replace it with another full-length
adapter, remove the full-length-adapter bracket and store it on the underside of
the top of the PCI riser-card assembly.
8. If you are instructed to return the adapter, follow all packaging instructions, and
use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.
Installing a PCI adapter in a PCI riser-card assembly
Important: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code
updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of code
is supported for the cluster solution before you update the code.
Some high end video adapters are supported by your server. See
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/ for more information.
Notes:
1. If you are installing a ServeRAID-M5110 with x3650 M4 Plus 8 2.5-inch HS
HDD Assembly Option Kit, it can only be installed in PCI slot 2; if you are
installing a ServeRAID-M5120 or an IBM LLM-SM dual port 10GbE SFP+
adapter, it can only be installed in PCI slot 1, 2, 4, or 5.
2. If you are installing a video adapter in your server, do not set the maximum
digital video resolution above 1600 x 1200 at 75 Hz for an LCD monitor. This is
the highest resolution supported for any video adapter in this server.
The following illustration shows the locations of the adapter expansion slots from
the rear of the server.
Maximal card dimension supported in each slot (rear view)
1 Full height , up to full length 4 Full height , up to full length
2 Full height, half length 5 Full height , up to full length
3 Full height, half length 6 Full height, half length
