See the documentation that comes with any external devices for additional cabling
instructions. It might be easier for you to route cables before you connect the
devices to the server.
If the server comes with an installed operating system, see the documentation that
comes with the operating system for additional cabling instructions.

Updating the server configuration

Use this information to update the server configuration.
When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove an internal
device, external SAS device, or USB keyboard or mouse, you might receive a
message that the configuration has changed. After the POST fails three times, the
Setup utility starts automatically so that you can save the new configuration
settings. For more information, see Chapter 3, "Configuring the server," on page
157.
Some optional devices have device drivers that you must install. See the
documentation that comes with each optional device for information about
installing device drivers.
The server comes with at least one multi-core microprocessor, which enables the
server to operate as a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server. You might have to
upgrade the operating system to support SMP. For more information, see "Using
the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD" on page 164 and the operating-system
documentation.
If you have installed or removed a hard disk drive, see "Using the LSI
Configuration Utility program" on page 172.
If you have installed a USB hypervisor memory key on the SAS riser-card, see the
user's guide that comes with the hypervisor memory key. Hypervisor enables guest
operating systems to function on the server.
For information about configuring the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller, see
"Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller" on page 172.
