Chapter 2. Cabling and starting the computer
This chapter provides information about cabling, starting the computer, and
completing the operating system setup procedure.
Cabling the computer
If the computer cables and connector panel have color-coded connectors, match
the color of each cable end with the color of the connector. For example, match a
blue cable end to a blue connector on the panel, a red cable end to a red
connector, and so on.
Attention:
The following illustration shows the input/output (I/O) connectors on the rear of the
computer.
Depending on the video adapter that is installed in the computer and the monitor
that you are using, you might have to use special video cables that convert signals
or provide an additional connection point for dual-monitor capability. See the User's
Guide on the IBM IntelliStation Documentation CD and the documentation that
comes with the monitor for additional information.
Turning on the computer
When the computer is connected to an ac power source but is not turned on, the
operating system does not run, and all core logic is shut down; however, the
computer can respond to requests, such as a remote request to turn on the
computer.
