To attach non-USB devices to the server, use the cables that come with the devices and connect the cables to the appropriate ports on the server (see Chapter 5, "I/O connectors," on page 57). To attach a USB device to the server, use the cable that comes with the device and connect the cable to one of the four USB ports on the server (see "Universal Serial Bus connectors" on page 58). Important: If a Remote Supervisor Adapter II is installed in the server, the USB 1 connector is disabled. v If you want to attach a keyboard or mouse to this server, you must use a USB keyboard or a USB mouse. For detailed information about the USB keyboard and how to connect it to your server, see the documentation that comes with the USB keyboard. v The server supports keyboardless operation. If a USB keyboard is not connected to the server, when the server is turned on or restarted, error message 301 will appear during POST. No action is required. POST will continue within one minute. v You might want to create update diskettes that contain the latest baseboard management controller firmware and BIOS code. Use an external USB diskette drive if you want to attach a diskette drive to this server. For information about updating the baseboard management controller firmware and BIOS code, see the User's Guide on the IBM Documentation CD. Eserver Depending on the options that you installed, after cabling the server, you might need to run the Configuration/Setup Utility program to update the server configuration. For more information, see "Updating the server configuration" and the User's Guide on the IBM Documentation CD. Eserver Updating the server configuration When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove an internal option or an external SCSI device, you might see a message telling you that the configuration has changed. The Configuration/Setup Utility program automatically starts so that you can save the new configuration information. For more information, see the section about configuring the server in the User's Guide on the IBM Documentation CD. Eserver 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. For additional information, see the operating-system documentation. If the server has an optional RAID adapter and you have installed or removed a hard disk drive, see the documentation that comes with the RAID adapter for information about configuring disk arrays. To configure the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controllers, see the section about configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controllers in the User's Guide on the IBM Documentation CD.

To
attach
non-USB
devices
to
the
server,
use
the
cables
that
come
with
the
devices
and
connect
the
cables
to
the
appropriate
ports
on
the
server
(see
Chapter
5,
“I/O
connectors,”
on
page
57).
To
attach
a
USB
device
to
the
server,
use
the
cable
that
comes
with
the
device
and
connect
the
cable
to
one
of
the
four
USB
ports
on
the
server
(see
“Universal
Serial
Bus
connectors”
on
page
58).
Important:
If
a
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
is
installed
in
the
server,
the
USB
1
connector
is
disabled.
v
If
you
want
to
attach
a
keyboard
or
mouse
to
this
server,
you
must
use
a
USB
keyboard
or
a
USB
mouse.
For
detailed
information
about
the
USB
keyboard
and
how
to
connect
it
to
your
server,
see
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
USB
keyboard.
v
The
server
supports
keyboardless
operation.
If
a
USB
keyboard
is
not
connected
to
the
server,
when
the
server
is
turned
on
or
restarted,
error
message
301
will
appear
during
POST.
No
action
is
required.
POST
will
continue
within
one
minute.
v
You
might
want
to
create
update
diskettes
that
contain
the
latest
baseboard
management
controller
firmware
and
BIOS
code.
Use
an
external
USB
diskette
drive
if
you
want
to
attach
a
diskette
drive
to
this
server.
For
information
about
updating
the
baseboard
management
controller
firmware
and
BIOS
code,
see
the
User’s
Guide
on
the
IBM
Eserver
Documentation
CD.
Depending
on
the
options
that
you
installed,
after
cabling
the
server,
you
might
need
to
run
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
to
update
the
server
configuration.
For
more
information,
see
“Updating
the
server
configuration”
and
the
User’s
Guide
on
the
IBM
Eserver
Documentation
CD.
Updating
the
server
configuration
When
you
start
the
server
for
the
first
time
after
you
add
or
remove
an
internal
option
or
an
external
SCSI
device,
you
might
see
a
message
telling
you
that
the
configuration
has
changed.
The
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
automatically
starts
so
that
you
can
save
the
new
configuration
information.
For
more
information,
see
the
section
about
configuring
the
server
in
the
User’s
Guide
on
the
IBM
Eserver
Documentation
CD.
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.
For
additional
information,
see
the
operating-system
documentation.
If
the
server
has
an
optional
RAID
adapter
and
you
have
installed
or
removed
a
hard
disk
drive,
see
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
RAID
adapter
for
information
about
configuring
disk
arrays.
To
configure
the
integrated
Gigabit
Ethernet
controllers,
see
the
section
about
configuring
the
Gigabit
Ethernet
controllers
in
the
User’s
Guide
on
the
