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 options. 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. There is one keyboard connector on the back of the server. Use this connector to connect the server to a keyboard or optional console switch. You can also connect a USB keyboard to the server by using one of the USB connectors. After you install a USB keyboard, you might have to use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to enable keyboardless operation and prevent the POST error message 301 from being displayed during startup. For information about how to connect a USB keyboard to the server, see the documentation that comes with the keyboard. If the server cables and connector panel have color-coded connections, match the color of the cable end with the color of the connector. For example, match a blue cable end with a blue panel connector, a red cable end with a red connector, and so on. Updating the server configuration When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove an internal option or external SAS 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 33. Some options have device drivers that you must install. See the documentation that comes with each option for information about installing device drivers. Chapter 2. Installing options 31

You
must
turn
off
the
server
before
connecting
or
disconnecting
cables
from
the
server.
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
options.
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.
There
is
one
keyboard
connector
on
the
back
of
the
server.
Use
this
connector
to
connect
the
server
to
a
keyboard
or
optional
console
switch.
You
can
also
connect
a
USB
keyboard
to
the
server
by
using
one
of
the
USB
connectors.
After
you
install
a
USB
keyboard,
you
might
have
to
use
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
to
enable
keyboardless
operation
and
prevent
the
POST
error
message
301
from
being
displayed
during
startup.
For
information
about
how
to
connect
a
USB
keyboard
to
the
server,
see
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
keyboard.
If
the
server
cables
and
connector
panel
have
color-coded
connections,
match
the
color
of
the
cable
end
with
the
color
of
the
connector.
For
example,
match
a
blue
cable
end
with
a
blue
panel
connector,
a
red
cable
end
with
a
red
connector,
and
so
on.
Updating
the
server
configuration
When
you
start
the
server
for
the
first
time
after
you
add
or
remove
an
internal
option
or
external
SAS
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
33.
Some
options
have
device
drivers
that
you
must
install.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
each
option
for
information
about
installing
device
drivers.
