Connecting external options
You can attach a SCSI storage expansion enclosure to your server if you install an
optional SCSI adapter in one of the five PCI adapter slots on the system board.
Installation procedure
To attach an external device, do the following:
1. Read “Before you begin” on page 31 and the documentation that comes with your
options.
2. Be sure that your 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 “SCSI port” on page 67 for SCSI ID
and cabling information.
I/O connector locations
The following illustration shows the external input/output connectors (ports) on the
rear of the server. The SCSI and system-management connectors are internal and
located on the system board (see “System-board internal cable connectors” on page 29
and “System-board option connectors” on page 28, respectively for connector
locations). For pin assignments and other details about these connectors, see
“Input/output ports” on page 62.
