Updating the server configuration, Attention

Page 214 highlights

Attention: To avoid component damage, connect the power cords last. Note: In most areas of the world, Lenovo requires the return of the defective CRU. Information about this will come with the CRU or will come a few days after the CRU arrives. Updating the server configuration When you turn on the server for the first time after you install, remove, or replace a device, you might need to update the server configuration. Some optional devices have device drivers that you must install. For information about installing device drivers, use the documentation that comes with each optional device. To obtain the supported device drivers for your server from the Lenovo Support Web site, go to http://www.lenovo.com/drivers and follow the instructions on the Web page to find and download the device drivers you need. Refer to the following information resources to update the server configuration: • To update the BIOS configuration, see "Using the Setup Utility program" on page 63. • To update the RAID configuration, see "Configuring RAID" on page 74. • To use the ThinkServer EasyStartup program, see "Using the ThinkServer EasyStartup program" on page 71. • To update your system firmware, see "Updating the firmware" on page 83. 202 ThinkServer RD440 User Guide and Hardware Maintenance Manual
