Chapter 2. Cabling the server
When you cable the server, be sure to route the power cable through the cable-
restraint bracket on the rear of the server. Because your xSeries 150 is a "headless"
server, you will not need to connect a mouse or keyboard cable when cabling your
server. You will only need to connect the power cable and network cables.
Before cabling the server, you must first unpack the appliance server and place it in
the location where it will be installed or, if you are installing a rack-mounted model,
install the appliance server in a rack. For more information on how to install a rack-
mounted server in a rack, see “Appendix A. Rack Installation Instructions,” on page
35.
Notes:
1. If you plan to use the IBM Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility to
configure and manage your appliance, be sure to connect the built-in Ethernet
connector to the same physical network as your systems management console.
