Connecting the cables Attention: To prevent damage to equipment, connect the power cords last. If the server cables and connector panel have color-coded connectors, match the color of each cable end with the color of the connector. For example, match a blue cable end to a blue connector on the panel, a red cable end with a red connector, and so on. The following illustration shows the input/output (I/O) connectors on the rear of the server. Power cord AC power LED DC power LED Serial 2 (Com2) Parallel Serial 1 (Com1) Video USB 3 and 4 Ethernet connector USB 1 and 2 Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine (Ethernet) Ethernet transmit/ receive activity LED (amber) Ethernet link status LED (green) Updating the server configuration When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove an internal or external 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 "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 58 for additional information. Some optional devices have device drivers that you must install. For information about installing device drivers, see the documentation that comes with each device. If the server has a ServeRAID adapter 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 devices If you install an optional adapter that the server supports, you can attach external devices to the server. To attach an external device, complete the following steps: Chapter 2. Installing optional devices 55

Connecting
the

Attention:
To
prevent
damage
to
equipment,
connect
the
power
cords
last.
If
the
server
cables
and
connector
panel
have
color-coded
connectors,
match
the
color
of
each
cable
end
with
the
color
of
the
connector.
For
example,
match
a
blue
cable
end
to
a
blue
connector
on
the
panel,
a
red
cable
end
with
a
red
connector,
and
so
on.
The

Updating
the
server
configuration
When
you
start
the
server
for
the
first
time
after
you
add
or
remove
an
internal
or
external
device,
you
might
receive
a
message
that
the
configuration
has
changed.
The
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
starts
automatically
so
that
you
can

device
drivers
that
you
must
install.
For
information
about
installing
device
drivers,
see
the
documentation
that
comes
with
each
device.
If
the
server
has
a
ServeRAID
adapter
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
devices
If
you
install
an
optional
adapter
that
the
server
supports,
you
can
attach
external
devices
to
the
server.
To
attach
an
external
device,
