Connecting the cables

Attention: To prevent damage to equipment, connect the power cords last.

If the server cables and connector panel have color-coded connections, match the color of the cable end with the color of the connector. For example, match a blue cable end with a blue panel connector, a red cable end with a red connector, and so on.

See “Rear view” on page 18 for an illustration of the input/output (I/O) connectors on the rear of the server.

Updating the server configuration

When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove a device, you might receive a message that the configuration has changed. The Setup Utility starts automatically so that you can save the new configuration settings. For more information, see Chapter 7, “Configuring the server,” on page 109.

Some optional devices have device drivers that you must install. For information about installing device drivers, see the documentation that comes with each device.

The server comes with at least one microprocessor. If more than one microprocessor is installed, the server can operate as a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server. You might have to upgrade the operating system to support SMP. For more information, see the operating-system documentation.

If the server has an optional RAID adapter and you have installed or removed a hard disk drive, see the documentation that comes with the RAID adapter for information about reconfiguring the disk arrays.

For information about configuring the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller, see “Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller” on page 122.

Connecting external devices

If you install a supported optional adapter, you can attach external devices to the server.

To attach an external device, complete the following steps:

1.Read the safety information that begins on page vii, “Installation guidelines” on page 29, and the documentation that comes with the device.

2.Turn off the server and all attached devices.

3.Follow the instructions that come with the device to prepare it for installation and to connect it to the server.

Note: If you are attaching an external device, see the documentation that comes with the device for information about cabling.
