Updating The Server Configuration; Connecting External Options - IBM 6000R - Netfinity - 8682 Hardware Maintenance Manual

To install the server top cover:
1. Before installing the cover, check that all cables, adapt-
ers, and other components are installed and seated
correctly and that you have not left loose tools or parts
inside the server.
2. Place the cover-release latch in the open (up) position.
3. Insert the bottom tabs of the top cover in the matching
slots in the server chassis.
4. Close the cover-release latch to pull the top cover for-
ward and lock the top cover in place.
5. If you disconnected any cables from the back of the
server, reconnect the cables; then, plug the power
cords into properly grounded electrical outlets.
Note: If necessary, refer to "Input/Output ports" on
page 93 for connector locations.
To install the bezel:
1. Insert the two tabs on the bottom of the bezel into the
matching holes on the server chassis.
2. Push the top of the bezel toward the server until the two
tabs at the top of the bezel snap into place.

Updating the 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 see a message telling you that the configuration has
changed. The Configuration/Setup Utility program automati-
cally starts so that you can save the new configuration infor-
mation. See "Configuring the server" on page 43.
Some options have device drivers that you need to install.
Refer to the documentation that comes with your option for
information about installing any required device drivers.
The server comes with at least one microprocessor installed
on the system board. If you have installed one or more addi-
tional microprocessors, the server can now operate as an
SMP server. Therefore, you might need to upgrade your
operating system to support SMP.
If the server has a ServeRAID adapter installed and you
have installed or removed a hard disk drive, refer to the doc-
umentation that comes with your ServeRAID adapter for
information about reconfiguring your disk arrays.

Connecting external options

Before you begin:
• Review "Before you begin" on page 63.
• Read the documentation that comes with your options.
You can attach external options to the input/output (I/O) con-
nectors on the rear of the server. (See "Input/Output ports"
on page 93 for more information.)
