When you start your 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. Run the Configuration/Setup Utility program to save the
new configuration information. See"Chapter 3. Configuring your server," on page 11.
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.
If you have installed a new microprocessor, you might want to upgrade your
operating system to support symmetric multiprocessing (SMP). See "Chapter 4. Using
the ServerGuide CDs," on page 21 for more detailed information.
Review the information in "Before you begin" on page 66. Also, read the
documentation that comes with your 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.
Note: If you are attaching a SCSI device, see "Ultra2 SCSI ports" on page 98 for
cabling and SCSI ID information.
This section provides information about the input/output (I/O) ports on the rear of
your server. These ports include the following:
