If

 

you

 

have

 

just

 

plugged

 

the

 

power

 

cords

 

of

 

the

 

server

 

into

 

an

 

electrical

 

outlet,

 

you

 

must

 

wait

 

30

 

seconds

 

before

 

pressing

 

the

 

power-control

 

button.

 

The

 

following

 

illustration

 

shows

 

the

 

locations

 

of

 

the

 

input

 

and

 

output

 

connectors

 

on

 

your

 

server.

 

See

for

 

descriptions

 

of

 

the

 

I/O

 

connectors.

When

 

you

 

start

 

your

 

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

 

(see

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some

 

options

 

have

 

device

 

drivers

 

that

 

you

 

need

 

to

 

install.

 

See

 

the

 

documentation

 

that

 

comes

 

with

 

your

 

option

 

for

 

information

 

about

 

installing

 

any

 

required

 

device

 

drivers.

 

If

 

your

 

server

 

comes

 

with

 

two

 

microprocessors

 

or

 

if

 

your

 

server

 

comes

 

with

 

one

 

microprocessor

 

and

 

you

 

have

 

installed

 

one

 

or

 

more

 

additional

 

microprocessors,

 

your

 

server

 

can

 

now

 

operate

 

as

 

an

 

SMP

 

server.

 

Therefore,

 

you

 

might

 

need

 

to

 

upgrade

 

your

 

operating

 

system

 

to

 

support

 

SMP.

 

See

 

the

 

 

 

on

 

the

 

IBM

 

 

 

CD

 

and

 

your

 

operating-system

 

documentation

 

for

 

additional

 

information.

 

If

 

you

 

have

 

a

 

RAID

 

configuration

 

on

 

your

 

server

 

using

 

the

 

integrated

 

SCSI

 

controller

 

and

 

you

 

have

 

installed

 

or

 

removed

 

a

 

hard

 

disk

 

drive,

 

you

 

might

 

need

 

to

 

reconfigure

 

your

 

disk

 

arrays.

 

See

 

the

 

RAID

 

documentation

 

on

 

the

 

IBM

 

 

 

CD

 

for

 

information

 

about

 

reconfiguring

 

your

 

disk

 

arrays.

 

If

 

you

 

install

 

a

 

different

 

type

 

of

 

RAID

 

adapter

 

in

 

your

 

server,

 

use

 

the

 

configuration

 

method

 

supplied

 

with

 

the

 

RAID

 

adapter

 

to

 

view

 

or

 

change

 

SCSI

 

settings

 

for

 

attached

 

devices.

 

The

 

internal

 

hard

 

disk

 

drives

 

can

 

connect

 

only

 

to

 

the

 

integrated

 

SCSI

 

controller

 

with

 

RAID

 

capabilities.
