Notes:
1. Be sure to turn off the server before you connect any cables to or disconnect
any cables from the server or hot-plug adapter.
2. For additional cabling instructions, see the documentation that comes with the
optional devices. It might be easier for you to route any cables before you install
certain optional devices.
3. Cable identifiers are printed on the cables that come with the server and
optional devices. Use these identifiers to connect the cables to the correct
connectors. For example, the hard disk drive cables are labeled “HDD option.”
The following illustration shows the locations of the input and output connectors on

server,” on page 49.
Some optional devices have device drivers that you must install. For information
about installing device drivers, see the documentation that comes with each device.
The server comes with at least one microprocessor. If more than one
microprocessor is installed, the server can operate as a symmetric multiprocessing
(SMP) server. You might have to upgrade the operating system to support SMP. For
