V nmi button press this button to force a nonmaskable interrupt to the microprocessor it allows you to blue screen the server and take a memory dump use this button only when directed by the ibm service support you might have to use a pen or the end of a straightened paper clip to press the button 39
Power supply leds 42
The following table describes the problems that are indicated by various combinations of the power supply leds on an ac power supply and suggested actions to correct the detected problems 43
Approximately 5 seconds after the server is connected to power one or more fans might start running to provide cooling while the server is connected to power and the power on button led will blink quickly approximately 5 to 10 seconds after the server is connected to power the power control button becomes active the power on led will blink slowly and one or more fans might start running to provide cooling while the server is connected to power you can turn on the server by pressing the power control button 44
Server power features 44
System pulse leds 44
The following leds are on the system board and monitor the system power on and power off sequencing and boot progress see system board leds and controls on page 34 for the location of these leds 44
Turning on the server 44
When the server is connected to an ac power source but is not turned on the operating system does not run and all core logic except for the integrated management module ii imm2 is shut down however the server can respond to requests from imm2 such as a remote request to turn on the server the power on led flashes to indicate that the server is connected to an ac power source but is not turned on 44

Installing a memory module 95
Depending on the server model the server may come with a minimum of one 2 gb or 4 gb dimm installed in slot 1 when you install additional dimms install them in the order shown in the following table to optimize system performance in general all three channels on the memory interface for each microprocessor can be populated in any order and have no matching requirements 98
Dimm installation sequence 98
Memory mirrored channel 99
Memory mirrored channel mode replicates and stores data on two pairs of dimms within two channels simultaneously if a failure occurs the memory controller switches from the primary pair of memory dimms to the backup pair of dimms you can enable memory mirrored in the setup utility see starting the setup utility on page 121 when you use the memory mirrored channel feature consider the following information v when you use memory mirrored channel you must install a pair of dimms at a time the two dimms in each pair must be identical in size type and rank single dual or quad and organization but not in speed the channels run at the speed of the slowest dimm in any of the channels v the maximum available memory is reduced to half of the installed memory when memory mirrored is enabled for example if you install 64 gb of memory using rdimms only 32 gb of addressable memory is available when you use memory mirrored channel 99
Note you can install dimms for microprocessor 2 as soon as you install microprocessor 2 you do not have to wait until all of the dimm connectors for microprocessor 1 are filled 99
The following diagram lists the dimm connectors on each memory channel 99
The following table shows the installation sequence for memory mirrored mode 99
Memory rank sparing 100
Sparing enables a failing rank to be replaced by ranks installed in an unoccupied space an unused spare rank on the channel can be used to copy the contents of a failing rank on that channel you can enable rank sparing memory in the setup utility select system settings memory for more information see using the setup utility on page 120 100
The following diagram lists the dimm connectors on each memory channel 100
When you install or remove dimms the server configuration information changes when you restart the server the system displays a message that indicates that the memory configuration has changed 100
You can install dimms for the microprocessor 2 once the microprocessor 2 is installed you do not need to wait until all of the dimm connectors for microprocessor 1 are filled the following table shows the installation sequence for memory rank sparing mode 100
Installing a dimm 101
Installing a pci x bracket 102
Installing an adapter 104
Attention static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered on might cause the server to stop which might result in the loss of data to avoid this potential problem always use an electrostatic discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with the power on 105
Read the safety information that begins on page vii and the installation guidelines on page 37 2 turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables 3 carefully turn the server on its side so that it is lying flat with the cover facing up attention do not allow the server to fall over 4 unlock and remove the server cover see removing the left side cover on page 60 5 see the documentation that comes with the adapter for any cabling instructions and information about jumper or switch settings it might be easier for you to route cables before you install the adapter 6 touch the static protective package that contains the adapter to any unpainted metal surface on the server then remove the adapter from the package 7 determine the pci slot into which you will install the adapter 8 rotate the adapter retention brackets to the open position 105
To install an adapter complete the following steps 105

Important notes 156
Attention airborne particulates including metal flakes or particles and reactive gases acting alone or in combination with other environmental factors such as humidity or temperature might pose a risk to the server that is described in this document risks that are posed by the presence of excessive particulate levels or concentrations of harmful gases include damage that might cause the server to malfunction or cease functioning altogether this specification sets forth limits for particulates and gases that are intended to avoid such damage the limits must not be viewed or used as definitive limits because numerous other factors such as temperature or moisture content of the air can influence the impact of particulates or environmental corrosives and gaseous contaminant transfer in the absence of specific limits that are set forth in this document you must implement practices that maintain particulate and gas levels that are consistent with the protection of human health and safety if 157
