To install the bezel:

1.Insert the two tabs on the bottom of the bezel into the matching holes on the server chassis.

2.Push the top of the bezel toward the server until the two tabs at the top of the bezel snap into place.

Updating the server configuration

When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove an internal option or an external SCSI device, you might see a message telling you that the configuration has changed. The Configuration/Setup Utility program automatically starts so that you can save the new configuration information. See “Configuring the server” on page 33

Some options have device drivers that you need to install. Refer to the documentation that comes with your option for information about installing any required device drivers.

The server comes with at least one microprocessor installed on the system board. If you have installed one or more additional microprocessors, the server can now operate as an SMP server. Therefore, you might need to upgrade your operating system to support SMP.

If the server has a ServeRAID adapter installed and you have installed or removed a hard disk drive, refer to the documentation that comes with your ServeRAID adapter for information about reconfiguring your disk arrays.

Connecting external options

To attach an external device:

1.Turn off the server and all attached devices.

2.Follow the instructions that come with the option to prepare it for installation and to connect it to the server.
