RXE connector cabling
Your server has one RXE Expansion Port and one RXE Management Port located
on the rear of the server. Use these connectors to connect the server to a remote
I/O enclosure and to expand the number of PCI-X slots that are available for use by
the server. For detailed information about cabling the RXE ports, see the
documentation that comes with the remote I/O enclosure.
Complete the following steps to cable your server to a remote I/O enclosure:
RXE Management
1. Using an RXE Expansion cable, connect one end of the cable to the RXE
2. Connect the opposite end of the cable to an RXE Expansion Port on the remote
3. Using an RXE Management cable, connect one end of the cable to the RXE
4. Connect the opposite end of the cable to the RXE Management A (in) Port on
Gigabit Ethernet cabling
Your server has one dual-port Ethernet connector located on the back of the server.
Use these ports to connect the server to a LAN.
Note: Another Ethernet connector is located on the Remote Supervisor Adapter II.
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 "Using the
Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 11 and the section on configuring the
server in the User's Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.
