Connecting external devices
Installing the server in a rack
If you install a supported optional adapter, you can attach external devices to the
server.
To attach an external device, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii, “Installation guidelines” on
page 29, and the documentation that comes with the device.
2. Turn off the server and all attached devices.
3. Follow the instructions that come with the device to prepare it for installation
and to connect it to the server.
Note: If you are attaching an external device, see the documentation that comes
with the device for information about cabling.
To convert the server from a tower model to a rack model, you must use a
Tower-to-Rack Kit. You can then install the server in a rack cabinet. To order a
Tower-to-Rack Kit for the server, contact your IBM marketing representative or
authorized reseller.
Note: The Tower-to-Rack Kit does not support the server models that have eight
2.5-inch SAS hot-swap drive bays. You cannot install these models in a rack
cabinet.
