If you have changed the configuration of the system-board tray, you might have to
update the server configuration through the Setup utility (see "Updating the server
configuration").

Connecting the cables

Attention:
the system-board tray.
All cable connections, other than power, are on the front of the server. See
"Operator panel controls, connectors, LEDs, and power" on page 19 for connector
locations.

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 4, "Configuring the dx360 M3 server," on page 53.
Some optional devices have device drivers that you must install. For information
about installing device drivers, see the documentation that comes with each device.
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 more information about the
RAID controller, go to http://www-304.ibm.com/jct01004c/systems/support/
supportsite.wss/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-65723&brandind=5000008 or complete
the following steps.
Important: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code
updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of code
is supported for the cluster solution before you update the code.
Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual procedure
might vary slightly from what is described in this document.
1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/.
2. Under Product support, click Hardware upgrades.
3. Under Product family, click RAID.
4. Under Type, click the type of RAID controller that is installed in your server.
For information about configuring the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller, see
"Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller" on page 63.
