3. Connect all external cables and the power cord to the server, and then plug the
power cord into properly grounded electrical outlets.
Note:
Your server has one keyboard connector on the back of the server. Use this
connector to connect the server to a keyboard or optional console switch.
You can also connect a USB keyboard to the server using one of the USB
ports. After installing a USB keyboard, you might need to use the
Configuration/Setup utility program to enable keyboardless operation and
prevent the POST error message 301 from being displayed during startup.
For detailed information about this option and how to connect it to your
server, refer to the documentation that comes with the option.
Updating your server configuration
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. The Configuration/Setup Utility program automatically
saves the new configuration information. See the
User’s Guide
on the
IBM xSeries
Documentation
CD for information about the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
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 has a RAID adapter installed and you have installed or removed a
hard disk drive, see the documentation that comes with your RAID adapter for
information about reconfiguring your disk arrays.
