Installing The Server In A Rack; Input/Output Connectors - IBM Eserver xSeries 335 Type 8676 Hardware Maintenance Manual And Troubleshooting Manual

Some options have device drivers that you need to install. See the documentation
that comes with the option for information about installing any required device
drivers.
The server comes with at least one microprocessor installed on the system board. If
you have installed an additional microprocessor, the server can now operate as an
SMP server. Therefore, you might need to upgrade the operating system to support
SMP. See the section about using the ServerGuide CD in the User's Guide and the
operating-system documentation for additional information.
If the server has a RAID adapter installed and you have just installed or removed a
hard disk drive, see the documentation that comes with the RAID adapter for
information about reconfiguring the disk arrays.
If you have just installed a Remote Supervisor Adapter to manage the server from a
remote location, see the section about setting up the adapter in the Remote
Supervisor Adapter User's Guide for information about setting up and configuring
the adapter and using the adapter to manage the server remotely. The Remote
Supervisor Adapter User's Guide comes with the adapter.
To configure the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controllers, see "Configuring the Gigabit
Ethernet controller" on page 19.
