3. Install the server in a rack. See the Rack Installation Instructions that come with

Connecting the cables
You must turn off the server (see “Turning off the server” on page 28) before
connecting any cables to or disconnecting any cables from the server.
See the documentation that comes with optional devices for additional cabling
instructions. It might be easier for you to route cables before you install certain
options.
Cable identifiers are printed on the cables that come with the server and options.
Use these identifiers to connect the cables to the correct connectors.
For details about the location and function of the input and output connectors, see
Chapter 3, “Server controls, connectors, LEDs, and power,” on page 25.
The following illustrations show the locations of the input and output connectors on
the server. Detailed cabling instructions are in the Rack Installation Instructions that
come with the server.
