When you receive your system, inspect the shipping containers prior to
unpacking. If the shipping boxes are damaged, note the damage, and if possible,
photograph it for reference. After removing the contents of the containers, keep
the cartons and the packing materials. If the contents appear damaged when you
unpack the boxes, file a damage claim with the carrier immediately.
Making Connections
If your system normally operates without a video display or keyboard (for
example, as a network server), you must install a video display and keyboard to
configure the system. You may remove them after running the BIOS Setup
Utility. For information on running the BIOS Setup Utility, refer to Chapter 3
"Configuring Your System" of this User’s Guide.
Refer to the previous figure (Rear Features and Controls) and connect your
keyboard, monitor, and mouse. Connect any external peripheral devices such as
a printer or modem by following the instructions included with these devices.

Damage to the system may result if the keyboard/mouse
cable is inserted or removed when power is applied to the
system.
Inserting a telephone line connector into a RJ-45 LAN port
may result in personal injury and equipment dam age.
The server is provided with connectors for wide variety of peripheral devices on
its front and rear. Figure 2-1 illustrates available peripheral devices for the
server in the standard configuration and locations of the connectors for the
devices.
