About Your System

Connecting External Devices

When connecting external devices to your system, follow these guidelines:

Most devices must be connected to a specific connector and device drivers
must be installed before the device operates properly. (Device drivers are
normally included with your operating system software or with the device
itself.) See the documentation that accompanied the device for specific
installation and configuration instructions.

Always attach an external device while your system and the device are
turned off. Next, turn on any external devices before turning on the system
(unless the documentation for the device specifies otherwise).

See "Using the System Setup Program" on page 47 for information about
enabling, disabling, and configuring I/O ports and connectors.

Power Indicator Codes

The power button on the front panel controls the power input to the system's
power supplies. The power indicator lights green when the system is on.

The indicators on the optional redundant power supplies show whether
power is present or whether a power fault has occurred (see Table 1-4 and
Figure 1-5).

Table 1-4.
