Updating the server configuration

When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove an internal
option or 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. For more information, see Chapter 2,
"Configuring the xSeries 306 server," on page 11.
Some options have device drivers that you need to install. See the documentation
that comes with the device for information about installing any required device
drivers.
If the server has a RAID configuration using the SCSI controller with HostRAID
(SCSI models only) or the integrated Serial ATA controller with HostRAID and you
have installed or removed a hard disk drive, you might have to reconfigure your
disk arrays. See the RAID documentation on the Adaptec HostRAID Support CD for
more information about reconfiguring the disk arrays.

about this option and how to connect it to your server, see the documentation
that comes with the option. 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.
