You must turn off the server before connecting or disconnecting cables from the
server.
See the documentation that comes with any external devices for additional cabling
instructions. It might be easier for you to route cables before you connect the
devices to the server.
Cable identifiers are printed on the cables that come with the server and optional
devices. Use these identifiers to connect the cables to the correct connectors.
If the server comes with an installed operating system, see the documentation that
comes with the operating system for additional cabling instructions.

Updating the server configuration

When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove a 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 3, "Configuring the
server," on page 65.
Some optional devices have device drivers that you must install. See the
documentation that comes with each option for information about installing device
drivers.
If you have installed or removed a hard disk drive, see "Using the IBM ServeRAID
Configuration Utility program" on page 73 and "Using ServeRAID Manager" on page
75 for information about reconfiguring the disk arrays.
If you have installed a Remote Supervisor Adapter SlimLine to manage the server
remotely, see the Remote Supervisor Adapter User's Guide, which comes with the
adapter, for information about setting up, configuring, and using the adapter.
