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 receive a message that the configuration has changed. The Configuration/Setup Utility program starts automatically so that you can save the new configuration settings. See the User's Guide for additional information. Some options have device drivers that you must install. See the documentation that comes with each option for information about installing device drivers. If the server has a ServeRAID adapter installed and you have installed or removed a hard disk drive, see the ServeRAID documentation that comes with the server for information about reconfiguring the disk arrays. Connecting external options If you install an optional SCSI adapter, you can attach external SCSI devices, such as a SCSI storage expansion enclosure, to the server. Note: If the server model supports internal (simple-swap) SATA hard disk drives, installing an optional SCSI adapter enables you to add only external SCSI tape drives to the server. Complete the following steps to attach an external device: 1. Review Appendix B, "Safety information," on page 143, "Installation guidelines" on page 25, and the documentation that comes with the option. 2. Turn off the server and all attached devices. 3. Follow the instructions that come with the option to prepare it for installation and to connect it to the server. Note: If you are attaching an external SCSI device, see "Ultra320 SCSI connector" on page 65 for information about SCSI cabling and SCSI IDs. Installing the server in a rack An optional Tower-to-Rack Kit is needed to convert the server from a tower model to a rack model. You can then install the server in a rack cabinet. To order a Tower-to-Rack Kit for the server, contact your IBM marketing representative or authorized reseller. 62 xSeries 226 Type 8488 and 8648: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide

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
receive
a
message
that
the
configuration
has
changed.
The
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
starts
automatically
so
that
you
can
save
the
new
configuration
settings.
See
the
User’s
Guide
for
additional
information.
Some
options
have
device
drivers
that
you
must
install.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
each
option
for
information
about
installing
device
drivers.
If
the
server
has
a
ServeRAID
adapter
installed
and
you
have
installed
or
removed
a
hard
disk
drive,
see
the
ServeRAID
documentation
that
comes
with
the
server
for
information
about
reconfiguring
the
disk
arrays.
Connecting
external
options
If
you
install
an
optional
SCSI
adapter,
you
can
attach
external
SCSI
devices,
such
as
a
SCSI
storage
expansion
enclosure,
to
the
server.
Note:
If
the
server
model
supports
internal
(simple-swap)
SATA
hard
disk
drives,
installing
an
optional
SCSI
adapter
enables
you
to
add
only
external
SCSI
tape
drives
to
the
server.
Complete
the
following
steps
to
attach
an
external
device:
1.
Review
Appendix
B,
“Safety
information,”
on
page
143,
“Installation
guidelines”
on
page
25,
and
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
option.
2.
Turn
off
the
server
and
all
attached
devices.
3.
Follow
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
option
to
prepare
it
for
installation
and
to
connect
it
to
the
server.
Note:
If
you
are
attaching
an
external
SCSI
device,
see
“Ultra320
SCSI
connector”
on
page
65
for
information
about
SCSI
cabling
and
SCSI
IDs.
Installing
the
server
in
a
rack
An
optional
Tower-to-Rack
Kit
is
needed
to
convert
the
server
from
a
tower
model
to
a
rack
model.
You
can
then
install
the
server
in
a
rack
cabinet.
To
order
a
Tower-to-Rack
Kit
for
the
server,
contact
your
IBM
marketing
