Connecting The Cables; Updating The Server Configuration - IBM 8486 - eServer xSeries 100 User Manual

Connecting the cables

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.
Attention:
The following illustration shows the input/output (I/O) connectors on the rear of the
server.

Updating the server configuration

When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove an 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. See Chapter 3, "Configuring the server," on page 37 for
additional information.
Some options have device drivers that you must install. See the documentation that
comes with each option for information about installing device drivers.
If the server has an optional RAID adapter and you have installed or removed a
hard disk drive, see the RAID adapter documentation for information about
reconfiguring the disk arrays.
For information about configuring the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller, see
"Configuring the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet controller" on page 45.
