Connecting the cables 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. Attention: To prevent damage to equipment, connect the power cords last. The following illustration shows the input/output (I/O) connectors on the rear of the server. Updating the server configuration When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove an external SCSI 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 Chapter 3, "Configuring the server," on page 37 for additional information. Some options have device drivers that you must install. See the documentation that comes with each option for information about installing device drivers. If the server has an optional RAID adapter and you have installed or removed a hard disk drive, see the RAID adapter documentation for information about reconfiguring the disk arrays. For information about configuring the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller, see "Configuring the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet controller" on page 45. 36 xSeries 100 Type 8486: User's Guide

the
color
of
the
connector.
For

blue
panel
connector,
a
red

end
with
a
red
connector,
and
so
on.
Attention:
To
prevent
damage
to
equipment,
connect
the
power
cords
last.
The
following
illustration
shows
the
input/output
(I/O)
connectors
on
the
rear
of
the
server.
Updating
the
server
configuration
When
you

for
the
first
time
after
you
add
or
remove
an
external
SCSI
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
Chapter
3,
“Configuring
the
server,”
on
page
37
for
additional
information.
Some

have
device
drivers
that
you
must
install.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
each

device
drivers.
If
the
server
has
an
optional
RAID
adapter
and
you
have
installed
or
removed
a
hard
disk
drive,
see
the
RAID
adapter
documentation
for
information
about
reconfiguring
the
disk
arrays.
