Installation and Configuration
WARNING: Before performing the following procedure, review the safety
instructions that came with the system.
This section describes the steps required to set up your system for the first time.
Unpack the System
Unpack your system and identify each item.
Installing the Rails and System in a Rack
Assemble the rails and install the system in the rack following the
safety instructions and the rack installation instructions provided
with your enclosure.

4Getting Started With Your System
Installing the Blades
Beginning at the top, slide the modules into the enclosure from left to right.
When the blade is securely installed, the handle returns to the closed position.
Connecting the CMC and KVM Modules
Connect the serial cable and network cable(s) from the management
system to the CMC module. If a second, optional CMC module is installed,
connect it as well.
Connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the optional iKVM module.

Getting Started With Your System 5
Connecting the System to Power
Connect the system’s power cables to the system power supplies.
CAUTION: To prevent the power cables from being disconnected accidentally,
use the plastic clip on each power supply to secure the power cable to the
power supply, and use the Velcro strap to secure the cable to the strain-relief bar.
Plug the other end of the power cables into a power distribution unit (PDU).
CAUTION: Do not plug the power cables directly into a power outlet; you must
use a PDU. For optimal system functionality, a minimum of three power supplies
are required.

6Getting Started With Your System
Turning On the System
Press the power button on the enclosure. The power indicator should light.
NOTE: Once you have connected the system to the power supplies, there may
be a minimal delay before you can turn on your system.
Turning On the Blades
Press the power button on each blade, or power on the blades using
the systems management software.

Getting Started With Your System 7
Complete the Operating System Setup
If you purchased a preinstalled operating system, see the operating system
documentation that ships with your system. To install an operating system
for the first time, see the installation and configuration documentation
for your operating system. Be sure the operating system is installed before
installing hardware or software not purchased with the system.
