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 . Configuring the
server,” on page 29.
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 38 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 70 for SCSI ID and cabling information.
I/O connector locations
The following illustration shows the input/output connectors (ports) and the
