starts so that you can save the new configuration information. See the User's Guide
on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD for more information about the
Configuration/Setup Utility program.
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 or two microprocessors installed on the system board.
If your server comes with two microprocessors, or if your server comes with one
microprocessor and 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 ServerGuide information in the User's
Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD and to 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 on the IBM
ServeRAID Support CD for information about configuring your disk arrays.
Connecting external options
If you install an optional SCSI adapter, or use channel B on the integrated SCSI
controller for external devices, you can attach external SCSI devices, such as a
SCSI storage expansion enclosure, to your server. To use channel B for external
SCSI devices, remove the SCSI knockout from the rear of the server and secure
the free end of the channel B cable in the new opening.
You can attach additional external options to the input/output (I/O) connectors on
the front and rear of your server. (See "System-board option connectors" on page
91 for more information.)
Complete the following steps to attach an external device:
1. Review the safety information beginning on page 129 "Installation guidelines" on
2. Turn off the server and all attached devices.
3. Follow the instructions that come with the option to prepare it for installation and
Note: If you are attaching an external SCSI device, see "Ultra320 SCSI connector"
on page 71 for information about SCSI cabling and SCSI IDs.
Installing the server in a rack
An optional Tower-to-Rack Kit is needed to convert your server from a tower model
to a rack model. You can then install the server in a rack cabinet. To order a
Tower-to-Rack Kit for your server, contact your IBM marketing representative or
authorized reseller.
