2. See the documentation that comes with your options for additional cabling instructions. It might be easier for you to route cables before you install certain options. 3. 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. The following illustrations show the locations of the input and output connectors on your server.

The Configuration/Setup Utility program starts automatically so that you can save the new configuration settings. For more information, see the section about configuring the server in the User's Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD. Some options have device drivers that you must install. See the documentation that comes with each option for information about installing device drivers. The server comes with at least one microprocessor. If more than one microprocessor is installed, the server can operate as a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server. You might have to upgrade the operating system to support SMP. For more information, see the section about using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD in the User's Guide and the operating-system documentation. Chapter 4. Installing options 53

See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
your
options
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.

Updating
the
server
configuration
When
you
start
the
server
for
the
first
time
after
you
add
or
remove
an
internal
option
or
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.
For
more
information,
see
the
section
about
configuring
the
server
in
the
User’s
Guide
on
the
IBM
xSeries
Documentation
CD.
Some
options
have
device
drivers
that
you
must
install.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
each
option
for
information
about
installing
device
drivers.
The
server
comes
with
at
least
one
microprocessor.
If
more
than
one
microprocessor
is
installed,
the
server
can
operate
as
a
symmetric
multiprocessing
(SMP)
server.
You
might
have
to
upgrade
the
operating
system
to
support
SMP.
For
more
information,
see
the
section
about
using
the
ServerGuide
Setup
and
Installation
CD
in
the
User’s
Guide
and
the
operating-system
documentation.
