informational purposes.

Attach Data Cables to the Server

1. Locate SCSI connections, label both ends of the SCSI cables, and connect

one end of each one to the server. See Figure 2-6. Tighten captive screws

on SCSI connectors to retain the cable connector in the server connector.

2. Locate any network and remote management connections from routers

and other sources and connect their cables to corresponding server

connectors.

3. Locate the cable that will attach the serial port on the Uninterruptible

Power Supply (UPS) (if present) and plug the server end in.

4. Attach the video cable to the video port on the server. Attach the mouse

and keyboard cables to the server. If you are using one keyboard, mouse,

and monitor for more than one server, attach the cables for the HP

Console Switch to the server ports of the video card and the mouse and

monitor ports.
