Workflow for Connecting Peripherals
You must connect peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse, storage, and network) to each Lustre
workstation before you connect the workstations to video I/O, a control surface, or to other
components in the workgroup.
Connect all hardware peripherals before you boot your workstation.
See the following table for a summary of the steps necessary to connect peripherals to your
Lustre workstation.
Step: Refer to:
1. Review the connection diagram for your workstation.
