assembly” on page 42 and “System board internal cable connectors” on page 36
for the location of the fan cable connector.
5. Access the drive cage.
a. If your server has hard disk drives installed in the drive cage, disconnect the
power and signal cables from the rear of the drives.
b. Rotate the drive cage out of the server until it locks into place over the drive
cage retention tab.
Note: Before you install a hard disk drive, ensure that the drive cage locks
into place over the drive cage retention tab by pressing on the side of
the drive cage.
6. Attach the blue, plastic guide rails to the sides of the drive using the screws
provided.
7. Slide the drive into the drive cage until the plastic tabs on the guide rails lock into
place in the drive cage.
8. Lift the drive cage up and press in on the drive cage release tab; then, rotate the
drive cage back into the server.
Note: Clear any cables that might impede the replacement of the drive cage.
9. Connect the power and signal cables to the rear of each drive.
Note: Make sure to route the signal cable so that it does not block the air flow to
the rear of the drives or over the microprocessor.
10. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now.
11. Replace the support bracket assembly and reconnect the fan cable to the
connector (SYSFA3) on the system board. See “Removing the support bracket
assembly” on page 42 and “System board internal cable connectors” on page 36
for the location of the fan cable connector.
12. Reinstall the side cover, see “Installing the cover” on page 59 for details.
13. Reconnect the external cables and power cords; then, turn on the peripheral
devices and the server.
Installing memory modules
Adding memory to your server is an easy way to make programs run faster. You can
increase the amount of memory in your server by installing options called memory
modules. Each module contains one industry-standard, dual in-line memory module
(DIMM). Your server uses a noninterleaved memory configuration.
Memory considerations:
• The server comes with a DIMM installed on the system board in DIMM connector
1.
• When installing additional memory modules, install the second memory module
in DIMM connector 2, and the third in DIMM connector 3. (See the illustration in
this section for memory connector locations.)
• The xSeries 200 server supports 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, and 512 MB DIMMs.
Your server supports a minimum of 64 MB and a maximum of 1.5 GB of system
memory. See the ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat for a list
of memory modules for use with your server.
• Installing or removing DIMMs changes the configuration information in the
server. Therefore, after installing or removing a DIMM, you must change and save
the new configuration information by using the Configuration/Setup Utility
program. When you restart the server, the system displays a message indicating
that the memory configuration has changed. Start the Configuration/Setup
