This topic discusses installation of the xSeries® Adapter.
If the RSA I or RSA II adapter is required for your xSeries server then it should be installed, and the firmware upgraded prior to installing the Integrated xSeries Adapter.
After the BIOS and firmware for the xSeries and the RSA adapter have been updated, you can install the Integrated xSeries Adapter into the xSeries Server. This requires that the xSeries be disconnected from the AC power.
Prior to installing the Integrated xSeries Adapter, a jumper needs to be set in many xSeries models to provide 3.3 volt standby power to the slot where the card is located. The jumper number is different for the various models, so verify the correct jumper settings in the iSeries™ PCI Card and Integrated xSeries Adapter Card or Integrated xSeries Adapter (IXA) installation manual.
