RAID software and configuring the RAID adapter. v If you plan to install an optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter, install it in PCI-X slot 1. Use the ribbon cable that comes with the Remote Supervisor Adapter to connect the 20-pin connector on the rear edge of the adapter to the Remote Supervisor Adapter connector (J2) on the system board.
Installing an adapter Complete the following steps to install an adapter: 1. Review the safety information beginning on page v, and “Installation guidelines” on page 11. 2. Turn off the server and all attached peripheral devices. Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external signal cables from the server. 3.
Non-hot-swap disk drives have a jumper block on the rear. Install a jumper in the cable-selection position of the jumper block. For details, see the notes under step 4 on page 18, and the documentation that comes with the drive. IBM xSeries 335 Type 8676: Option Installation Guide...
v If you install only one hard disk drive, install it in drive bay 1. The drive in bay 1 is the primary boot device. v If you are installing a hot-swap drive, continue with “Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive”. If you are installing a non-hot-swap drive, go to “Installing a non-hot-swap hard disk drive”.

This section describes how to install memory modules in the server. Before you install memory modules, review the following information: v The xSeries 335 Type 8676 server uses interleaved dual inline memory modules (DIMMs), which requires that you add, remove, or replace DIMMs in pairs. Each pair must be of the same type, capacity, and speed.

The following sections describe how to cable a C2T chain and an ASM interconnect network. Cabling a C2T chain Use C2T interconnect cables to connect the servers into a chain. The following illustration shows a C2T interconnect cable. IBM xSeries 335 Type 8676: Option Installation Guide...
Page 39
Use a C2T breakout cable (available in the C2T cable option kit) to connect the first server in the chain to the monitor, keyboard, and pointing device. The following illustration shows a C2T breakout cable. Note: You can connect a USB keyboard to the server using one of the USB ports. After installing a USB keyboard, you might need to use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to enable keyboardless operation and prevent POST error message 301 from being displayed during startup.

4. Connect a C2T breakout cable to the C2T (OUT) connector on the first server in the chain (server 1 in the illustration). 5. Connect the monitor, keyboard, and pointing device to the connectors on the C2T breakout cable. The keyboard and pointing-device connectors on the cable have icons to help you identify them.
The network must include at least one server with a Remote Supervisor Adapter (either installed as an option or preinstalled in the server). You can connect up to 23 xSeries 335 servers into an ASM interconnect network using one Remote Supervisor Adapter. However, if you use both xSeries 335 and xSeries 330 servers in the network, the xSeries 330 servers must be the lowest-numbered servers in the chain.
