Cabling the server
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.
Attention:
The following illustration shows the input/output (I/O) connectors on the rear of the
server.
Updating your server configuration
When you start your server for the first time you need to set the system date and
time using the Configuration/Setup Utility program. When you start your server for
the first time after you add or remove an internal option or an external SCSI device,
you might see a message telling you that the configuration has changed. The
Configuration/Setup Utility program automatically starts so that you can save the
new configuration information. See Chapter 2, "Configuring your server", on page 17
for additional information.
Some options have device drivers that you need to install. See the documentation
that comes with your option for information about installing any required device
drivers.
Your server comes with two microprocessors installed on the system board and can
operate as a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server. However, you might need to
upgrade your operating system to support SMP. See your operating-system
documentation for additional information.
If any of the optional external hard disk drives connected to your server have a
RAID configuration using a ServeRAID controller and you have installed or removed
a hard disk drive, see the ServeRAID documentation for information about
reconfiguring your disk arrays. ServeRAID documentation is available for download
from the IBM Web site at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support.
