To install the server side cover: 1. Clear any cables that might impede the replacement of the cover. 2. Align the bottom tabs of the side cover with the matching slots in the server chassis; then, insert the tabs into the slots. 3. Close the cover-release latch to pull the cover forward and lock the cover in place. 4. Make sure that the stabilizing feet are rotated outward so that they properly support the server. 5. Reconnect the external cables and cords to the server; then, plug the power cords into electrical outlets. Connecting external options You can attach a SCSI storage expansion enclosure to the server if you install an optional SCSI adapter in one of the five PCI adapter slots on the system board. Installation Procedure: To attach an external device, do the following: 1. Read "System reliability considerations" 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 "SCSI port" on page 72 for SCSI ID and cabling information. I/O connector locations The following illustration shows the input/output connectors (ports) on the rear of the server. The SCSI and system-management connectors are internal and located on the system board (see "System board internal cable connectors" on page 41 and "System board options connectors" on page 40, respectively for connector locations). For pin assignments and other details about these connectors, see 66 Hardware Maintenance Manual: xSeries 220 Type 8646
