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 i5 or eServer i5 server and you are connecting it to an uninterruptible power supply,
the serial uninterruptible power supply conversion cable is required. For instructions, see Serial uninterruptible
power supply conversion cable. Do not plug the uninterruptible-power-supply power cord into the outlet and
do not start your server.
Note: The attachment of high availability cluster multiprocessing IBM (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:
