Table 19. Supported Features on Demand software and information about the Features onDemand (continued)Features On Demand software NotesServeRAID M5100 SeriesPerformance Accelerator forIBM System x (FoD FastPath)v Accelerates solid-state drive RAID devices by reducingthe processing overhead that is associated withcaching.v One of the RAID cache cards must be installed in theRAID cache card connector on the system board toenable this capability.ServeRAID M5100 Series SSDCaching Enabler for IBMSystem x (FoD Cachecade 1 or2)v Enables a hard disk drive RAID array to have its ownsolid-state drive cache. The solid-state drive cache ismuch larger than the DRAM cache on the controllerand can provide better performance acceleration.Cachecade 1 is read cache only, and Cachecade 2 addswrite caching.Adapter installation instructionsUse the information for instructions to install adapters on the server system boardand to install adapters on the PCIe riser card.About this taskNote:v The instructions in this section apply to any supported adapter (for example,network adapters).v The server does not support any high-definition video-out connector or stereoconnector on any add-on video adapter.To install an adapter, complete the following steps:Procedure1. Read the safety information and installation guidelines, see “Safety” on page viiand the “Installation guidelines” on page 35.2. Turn off the server (see “Turning off the server” on page 22) and all attachedperipheral devices. Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all externalcables from the server.3. Remove the top cover (see “Removing the server top cover” on page 38).4. Remove the microprocessor and memory expansion tray (see “Removing themicroprocessor and memory expansion tray assembly” on page 305) or DIMMair baffle (see “Removing the DIMM air baffle” on page 232), whichever one isinstalled.5. Follow the cabling instructions, if any come with the adapter. Route the adaptercables before you install the adapter. The cables should be routed through theSAS cable guide.6. To install an adapter on the system board, complete the following steps:a. Open the PCIe retention latch and remove the PCIe filler bracket from theconnector in which you want to install the adapter.b. Insert the adapter into the PCIe slot, aligning the edge connector on theadapter with the connector on the system board. Press the edge of theconnector on the adapter firmly into the connector on the system board.Make sure that the adapter snaps into the PCIe connector securely.76 System x3750 M4 Types 8722 and 8733: Installation and Service Guide
