3-6 Setting Up Your Server
During normal operation, interface cables do not need to be connected to a CPU blade. Cables
should be connected to the USB, serial, and/or VGA ports on the CPU blade in the following cases:
Installing an operating system when the CPU blade is installed in the Blade Enclosure
(SIGMABLADE-H).
Maintenance.
Updating BIOS and firmware.
The K410-150(00) SUV cable is a standard accessory for the Blade Enclosure (SIGMABLADE).
The K410-150(00) SUV cable has USB, serial interface, and monitor connection connectors.
Connect a device to each of the cable's connectors as necessary.
IMPORTANT:
To connect a peripheral or interface cable provided by a vendor
other than NEC to the CPU blade, make sure that the device is
compatible with the CPU blade. Some third party devices are not
compatible with the CPU blade.
The serial port connector cannot be directly connected to a leased
line.
Do not connect/disconnect the SUV cable or add/remove a USB
device until the operating system starts up.
To connect/disconnect the SUV cable or add/remove a USB device
after operating system startup, follow the operating system
procedure.
If a device with a serial interface is connected, power off the CPU
blade and device. Then, remove the power cord from the device
before connecting/disconnecting the SUV or serial cable. Failure to
do so may cause the device to malfunction.
If the CPU blade is installed in the Blade Enclosure
(SIGMABLADE-H) and you need to install an operating system,
use the SUV cable. See the next page for connecting the cable.
