Connecting the external cables
__ If you are using any optional adapters (such as token ring or 8-port EIA-232), connect the cables to the
appropriate adapter connectors in the PCI slots of your machine.
See Adapters, Devices, and Cable Information for Multiple Bus Systems for a description of cables and adapters
that might be installed on your server.
Note: If the cable did not come with your server, you will have to supply it.
Attaching devices by using a system port
__ If you have an IBM System p5 or eServer p5 server, each system port on the back of the server is disabled when
your server is connected to theHMC.
Note: The attachment of high availability cluster multiprocessing (HACMP) cables to a system port on the back of
the server is not supported.
Connecting the power cords
__ You should route power cords through the retention rings or under the retention brackets that are provided to
prevent the power cords from becoming unplugged unexpectedly.
__ If your server is equipped with a retention ring, route the power cord through the ring before you plug it
into the back of the server, as shown here:
