Chapter 2. Cabling and starting the computer This chapter provides information about cabling, starting the computer, and completing the operating system setup procedure. Cabling the computer If the computer 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. Attention: To prevent damage to equipment, connect the power cord last. The following illustration shows the input/output (I/O) connectors on the rear of the computer. Power cord Line in Line out Serial Parallel Keyboard Mouse USBs Ethernet IEEE 1394 (FireWire) Video Depending on the video adapter that is installed in the computer and the monitor you want to use, you might have to use special video cables that convert signals or provide an additional connection point for dual-monitor capability. See the User's Guide on the IBM IntelliStation Documentation CD and the documentation that comes with the monitor for additional information. Turning on the computer When the computer is connected to an ac power source but is not turned on, the operating system does not run, and all core logic is shut down; however, the computer can respond to requests, such as a remote request to turn on the computer.

(I/O)
connectors
on
the
rear
of
the
computer.

Depending
on
the
video
adapter
that
is
installed
in
the

you
want
to
use,
you
might
have
to
use
special
video
cables
that
convert
signals
or
provide
an
additional
connection
point
for
dual-monitor
capability.
See
the

When
the
computer
is
