Cabling The Server; Updating Your Server Configuration - IBM 8647 - Eserver xSeries 225 Installation Manual

Cabling the server

If your server cables and connector panel have color-coded connections, match the
color of the cable end with the color of the connector. For example, match a blue
cable end with a blue panel connector, a red cable end with a red connector, and
so on.

Updating your server configuration

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. The Configuration/Setup Utility program automatically
starts so that you can save the new configuration information. See Chapter 4,
"Configuring the server", on page 41 for additional information.
Some options have device drivers that you need to install. See the documentation
that comes with your option for information about installing any required device
drivers.
Your server comes with one microprocessor installed on the system board. If you
have installed an additional microprocessor, your server can now operate as an
SMP server. Therefore, you might need to upgrade your operating system to
support SMP. See the User's Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD and
your operating-system documentation for additional information.
If your server has a RAID configuration using the integrated SCSI controller with
RAID capabilities or has a ServeRAID controller installed and you have installed or
removed a hard disk drive, see the ServeRAID documentation that comes with your
server for information about reconfiguring your disk arrays.
