Updating the server configuration When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove an internal option or an external SCSI device, you might see a message telling you that the configuration has changed. The Configuration/Setup Utility program automatically starts so that you can save the new configuration information. See Chapter 4, "Configuring the server," on page 33. Some options have device drivers that you need to install. Refer to the documentation that comes with your option for information about installing any required device drivers. If the server has a ServeRAID adapter installed and you have installed or removed a hard disk drive, refer to the documentation that comes with your ServeRAID adapter for information about reconfiguring your disk arrays. Connecting external options You can attach a SCSI storage expansion enclosure to the server. Installation procedure To attach an external device: 1. Read "Before you begin" on page 44 and the documentation that comes with your options. 2. Be sure the server and all attached devices are turned off. 3. Follow the instructions that come with the option to prepare it for installation and to connect it to the server. Note: If you are attaching a SCSI device, see "Ultra 3/160 SCSI connector (some models)" on page 84 for SCSI ID and cabling information. I/O connector locations The following illustration shows the input/output connectors (ports) and the expansion slots on the rear of the server. For pin assignments and other details about these connectors, see "Input/output ports" on page 73. 72 Hardware Maintenance Manual: xSeries 200
