You must turn off the server before you connect or disconnect cables from the
server.
See the documentation that comes with any external devices for additional cabling
instructions. It might be easier for you to route cables before you connect the
devices to the server.
Cable identifiers are printed on the cables that come with the server and optional
devices. Use these identifiers to connect the cables to the correct connectors.
Updating the server configuration
When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove an internal
optional device, external SAS device, or USB keyboard or mouse, 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. For more information, see Chapter 4, “Configuring the server,” on page 41.
Some optional devices have device drivers that you must install. See the
documentation that comes with each optional device for information about installing
device drivers.
The server comes with at least one microprocessor. If more than one
microprocessor is installed, the server can operate as a symmetric multiprocessing
(SMP) server. You might have to upgrade the operating system to support SMP. For
more information, see “Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD” on page
41 and the operating-system documentation.
If you have installed or removed a hard disk drive, see “Using the RAID
configuration programs” on page 42 for information about reconfiguring the disk
arrays.
If you have installed a Remote Supervisor Adapter SlimLine to manage the server
remotely, see the Remote Supervisor Adapter User’s Guide, which comes with the
adapter, for information about setting up, configuring, and using the adapter.
For information about configuring the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controllers, see
the User ’s Guide.
