server configuration. See "Updating the server configuration" on page 29 and the User's Guide for more information. 7. If you disconnected any power cords or external cables from the server, reconnect the external cables first. If you are adding any new peripheral devices (see "Connecting the cables" for details), you can connect the external cables for those devices. Then, connect the power cords to properly grounded electrical outlets. Connecting the cables This section provides basic information about attaching peripheral devices such as a monitor, keyboard, and pointing device to the server and connecting the server to additional servers. Note: You can connect a USB keyboard to the server using one of the USB connectors. After installing a USB keyboard, you might need to use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to enable keyboardless operation and prevent POST error message 301 from being displayed during startup. For detailed information about the USB keyboard and how to connect it to your server, see the documentation that comes with the keyboard.
