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. If the server comes with an installed operating system, see the documentation that comes with the operating system for additional cabling instructions. Updating the server configuration When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove a device, 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 3, "Configuring the server," on page 65. Some optional devices have device drivers that you must install. See the documentation that comes with each option for information about installing device drivers. If you have installed or removed a hard disk drive, see "Using the IBM ServeRAID Configuration Utility program" on page 73 and "Using ServeRAID Manager" on page 75 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.
