Connecting the cables
Attention:
To prevent damage to equipment, connect the power cords last.
If the server cables and connector panel have color-coded connections, match the
color of the cable end with the color of the connector. For example, match a blue
cable end with a blue panel connector, a red cable end with a red connector, and
so on.
The following illustration shows the input/output (I/O) connectors on the rear of the
server.

on page 69 and the ServeRAID adapters installation instructions in this document.
Updating the server configuration
When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove an internal
option or an external device, you might receive a message that the configuration
has changed. The Setup utility starts automatically so that you can save the new
configuration settings. For additional information, see “Using the Setup utility” on
page 106.
Some options have device drivers that you must install. For information about
installing device drivers, see the documentation that comes with each option.
