Installing the server Connecting devices to the server

ÊConnect the data cables to the devices and the server.

ISome of the connected devices require that you install and configure special software (e.g. drivers) (see the documentation for the connected device).

If you are using a separate graphics card in a slot, the graphics controller on the system board is automatically deactivated. The corresponding monitor port (SVGA) cannot be used. Instead, connect the data cable of the monitor to the monitor port of the graphics card.

3.5.2CAN bus connection

Several servers and storage subsystem (e.g. PRIMERGY S40-DF) can be combined to form a group (functional unit, family/cluster). All the devices in a group are assigned the same group ID but different device IDs. This ID (CAN bus address) can be used to address each device using the communications bus (CAN bus). A maximum of ten groups can be set up on one communica- tions bus. All the devices in a group must be connected to the same CAN bus.

The CAN bus is a cable connection. The CAN bus must be terminated, i.e. terminating resisters must be attached to free ends.

The server includes a PCI CAN bus controller (figure 11 on page 30), which enables communication with a PRIMERGY S40-DF in a cluster configuration.

Communication between the PCI CAN bus controller and the storage subsystems is enabled with the help of the ServerStart CD:
