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. See the section about using the ServerGuide CD in the User's Guide and the operating-system documentation for additional information. If the server has a RAID adapter installed and you have just installed or removed a hard disk drive, see the documentation that comes with the RAID adapter for information about reconfiguring the disk arrays. If you have just installed a Remote Supervisor Adapter to manage the server from a remote location, see the section about setting up the adapter in the Remote Supervisor Adapter User's Guide for information about setting up and configuring the adapter and using the adapter to manage the server remotely. The Remote Supervisor Adapter User's Guide comes with the adapter. To configure the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controllers, see "Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller" on page 17. Installing the server in a rack Detailed cabling instructions for a typical rack server configuration are provided on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD that come with your server. These instructions also come with the Tower-to-Rack Conversion Kit. Input/output connectors Connect optional external devices to the connectors on the front and rear of the server. Your server has the following input/output (I/O) connectors: v Serial (1, rear) v Universal Serial Bus (USB) (2 front, 1 rear) v ISM (1, rear) v Cable Chaining Technology (C2T) (2, rear) v Ethernet (2, rear) v Keyboard (1, on C2T breakout cable) v Auxiliary-device (pointing-device) (1, on C2T breakout cable) v Video (1, on C2T breakout cable) The following illustration shows the locations of the connectors on the front panel. USB 1 connecter USB 2 connecter The following illustration shows the locations of the connectors on the rear panel.
