Connecting the cables

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.
Attention:
The following illustration shows the input/output (I/O) connectors on the rear of the
server.

Updating your server configuration

When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove an internal
option or an external SCSI device, you might receive a message that the
configuration has changed. The Configuration/Setup Utility program starts
automatically so that you can save the new configuration settings. See Chapter 4,
"Configuring the server," on page 47 for additional information.
Some options have device drivers that you must install. See the documentation that
comes with each option for information about installing device drivers.
If the server 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 the disk arrays.
To prevent damage to equipment, connect the power cords last.
