Connecting the cables

Attention:
If the 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.

Updating the server configuration

When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove an internal
option or an external 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 additional information, see "Using
the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 51.
Some options have device drivers that you must install. For information about
installing device drivers, see the documentation that comes with each option.
If the server has a ServeRAID adapter and you have installed or removed a hard
disk drive, see the ServeRAID documentation that comes with the server for
information about reconfiguring the disk arrays.
To prevent damage to equipment, connect the power cords last.
