Installing The Server In A Rack; Input/Output Connectors - IBM 8676 - Eserver xSeries 335 Hardware Maintenance Manual And Troubleshooting Manual

The server comes with at least one microprocessor installed on the system board. If
you have installed an additional microprocessor, the server can now operate as an
SMP server. Therefore, you might need to upgrade the operating system to support
SMP. See the section about using the ServerGuide CD in the User's Guide and the
operating-system documentation for additional information.
If the server has a RAID adapter installed and you have just installed or removed a
hard disk drive, see the documentation that comes with the RAID adapter for
information about reconfiguring the disk arrays.
If you have just installed a Remote Supervisor Adapter to manage the server from a
remote location, see the section about setting up the adapter in the Remote
Supervisor Adapter User's Guide for information about setting up and configuring
the adapter and using the adapter to manage the server remotely. The Remote
Supervisor Adapter User's Guide comes with the adapter.
To configure the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controllers, see "Configuring the Gigabit
Ethernet controller" on page 17.

Installing the server in a rack

Detailed cabling instructions for a typical rack server configuration are provided on
the IBM xSeries Documentation CD that come with your server. These instructions
also come with the Tower-to-Rack Conversion Kit.

Input/output connectors

Connect optional external devices to the connectors on the front and rear of the
server.
Your server has the following input/output (I/O) connectors:
v Serial (1, rear)
v Universal Serial Bus (USB) (2 front, 1 rear)
v ISM (1, rear)
v Cable Chaining Technology (C2T) (2, rear)
v Ethernet (2, rear)
v Keyboard (1, on C2T breakout cable)
v Auxiliary-device (pointing-device) (1, on C2T breakout cable)
