The following notes describe the types of adapters that the server supports and
other information that you must consider when you install an adapter:
v Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those
instructions in addition to the instructions in this section.
v The server provides two internal SAS connectors and two SAS/SATA RAID
riser-card slots on the system board. See System-board optional-device
connectors for the location of the internal SAS/SATA RAID connector and
riser-card slots. You can replace the IBM ServeRAID SAS/SATA adapter with an
optional IBM ServeRAID SAS/SATA adapter in the slot. For configuration
information, see the ServeRAID documentation at http://www.ibm.com/
supportportal/.
v Do not set the maximum digital video adapter resolution above 1600 x 1200 at
75 Hz for an LCD monitor. This is the highest resolution that is supported for
any add-on video adapter that you install in the server.
v Read the following table before installing memory modules when any Quadro
adapters is installed.
