CONNECTING PERIPHERAL DEVICES

Connect peripheral devices to the server. The server is provided with connectors for wide variety of peripheral devices on its front and rear. The figure on the next page illustrates available peripheral devices for the server in the standard configuration and locations of the connectors for the devices.

CAUTION

Observe the following instructions to use the server safely. Failure to follow these instructions may cause a fire, personal injury, or property damage. See pages 1-3 to 1-8 for details.

Do not connect any interface cable with the power cord of the Express Server plugged to a power source.

Do not use any unauthorized interface cable.

IMPORTANT:

!Power off the server and a peripheral device before connection. Connecting a powered peripheral device to the powered server will cause malfunctions and failures.

!To connect a third-party peripheral device or interface cable to the server, consult with your service representative for availability of such a device or cable. Some third-party devices may not be used for the server.

!The "100BASE-TX/10BASE-T connector" and the "serial port 2 connector" of this server have the same shape. Be careful not to connect a cable to a wrong connector. To prevent wrong connection, write "LAN port" on a tag and put the tag to the connector of the LAN cable that is to be connected to this server.

!The total length of a cable (including the connection cable in SCSI device) is limited by the SCSI standard. Ask your sales representative for details. (The internal cable of the server is 0.5 m long.)

!A leased line cannot be connected directly to the serial port connectors.

!Secure the power cord(s) and interface cables with a tie wrap.

!Form the cables in such a way that they will not come into contact with the door or the guide rails on the sides of the server.
