Rear view Power-cord connector Systems-management Ethernet connector SAS Serial connector connector USB 1 USB 3 Ethernet 1 connector connector connector Video Ethernet 2 USB 4 connector connector connector USB 2 connector Attention: In a dc power environment, only trained service personnel other than IBM service technicians are authorized to connect or disconnect power to the dc power supply. See the documentation that comes with each dc power supply for instructions and an illustration of the dc power supply. You must turn off the server before you connect or disconnect 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 optional devices. 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. Updating the server configuration When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove an internal device, external SAS device, or USB keyboard or mouse, 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 85. Some optional devices have device drivers that you must install. See the documentation that comes with each optional device for information about installing device drivers. The server comes with at least one dual-core microprocessor, which enables the server to operate as a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server. You might have to upgrade the operating system to support SMP. For more information, see "Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD" on page 93 and the operating-system documentation. If you have installed or removed a hard disk drive, see "Using the IBM ServeRAID Configuration Utility program" on page 95 and "Using ServeRAID Manager" on page 96 for information about reconfiguring the disk arrays.

Attention:
In
a
dc
power
environment,
only
trained
service
personnel
other
than
IBM
service
technicians
are
authorized
to
connect
or
disconnect
power
to
the
dc
power
supply.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
each
dc
power
supply
for
instructions
and
an
illustration
of
the
dc
power
supply.
You
must
turn
off
the
server
before
you
connect
or
disconnect
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
optional
devices.
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.
Updating
the
server
configuration
When
you
start
the
server
for
the
first
time
after
you
add
or
remove
an
internal
device,
external
SAS
device,
or
USB
keyboard
or
mouse,
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
85.
Some
optional
devices
have
device
drivers
that
you
must
install.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
each
optional
device
for
information
about
installing
device
drivers.
The
server
comes
with
at
least
one
dual-core
microprocessor,
which
enables
the
server
to
operate
as
a
symmetric
multiprocessing
(SMP)
server.
You
might
have
to
upgrade
the
operating
system
to
support
SMP.
For
more
information,
see
“Using
the
ServerGuide
Setup
and
Installation
CD”
on
page
93
and
the
operating-system
documentation.
If
you
have
installed
or
removed
a
hard
disk
drive,
see
“Using
the
IBM
ServeRAID
Configuration
Utility
program”
on
page
95
and
“Using
ServeRAID
Manager”
on
page
96
for
information
about
reconfiguring
the
disk
arrays.
