Connecting Devices to the Server
The ports for the devices are at the rear of the server (see "Rear View" on
page 47). Exception: a USB 1.1 port is located at the front of the server.

3.4.2
SMP Expansion cabling
The cabling information in this section is for multi-node configurations that
consist of two or four servers, for up to 16-way operation. A node is a server that
is interconnected with other servers or nodes through the SMP Expansion Ports
to share system resources.
To configure and cable a multi-node configuration, complete the following steps:
Ê Verify that the BIOS code and the firmware have the most current level (see
"System Information" on page 56).
Ê If necessary, update the BIOS code and the service processor firmware. To
download the most current level of BIOS code and service processor
firmware, go to www.fujitsu-siemens.com/support.
Ê Make sure that the service processor on each node is configured and
connected to the network. See the RSA-II User Manual for more information.
Ê Make sure that the service processor of each node works with the current
date and time. See RSA user manual for more information.
Ê Cable the configuration, using the instructions in this section.
Ê Configure the scalable partition. See "Scalable-partition configuration" on
page 67.
Ê Press the power button on the primary node to turn on the multi-node config-
uration manually.
