Installation And Configuration
WARNING: Before performing the following procedure, review the safety instructions that came with the server
module or enclosure.
Unpacking The System
WARNING: Whenever you need to lift the system, get others to assist you. To avoid injury, do not attempt to lift the
system by yourself.
Unpack the enclosure and the server module(s) and identify each item.
Locating The System Electrical Rating Label
Before setting up the system, make sure you read the electrical rating information for the system provided on the
information tag. The information tag also contains the worldwide regulatory agency marks for the system.
Figure 1. Locating the Electrical Rating Label
Stabilizing The Tower System
The tower system has four feet on its bottom panel that can be extended outward to help properly stabilize the system.
You can also replace the system feet with the optional wheels. For more information on installing the wheels, see the
Dell PowerEdge VRTX Owner's Manual at dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
WARNING: Failure to extend the system feet outward poses the risk of having the system tip over, possibly causing
bodily injury or damage to the system.
CAUTION: Rolling the system on its wheels can cause vibrations that can damage the system.

Figure 2. Extending the Feet of the Tower System
Optional—Rack Configuration
If you are using the optional rack configuration, assemble the rails and install the system in the rack following the safety
instructions and the rack installation instructions provided with your system.
NOTE: For more information on converting the system to rack mode, see the Dell PowerEdge VRTX Owner's
Manual at dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
Installing A Server Module
CAUTION: Install a blank in all empty server slots to maintain proper thermal conditions.
NOTE: The enclosure only supports Dell PowerEdge M520 and M620 server modules that are specifically
configured for the enclosure, and can be identified by a label marked PCIe on the server module. If you install
PowerEdge M520 and M620 server modules that are not configured for the enclosure, an error message is
displayed. For more information on configuring a server module for the enclosure, see the Dell PowerEdge VRTX
Owner's Manual at dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
Figure 3. Installing a Server Module
Beginning with slot 1, slide the server modules into the enclosure. When a server module is securely installed, its handle
returns to the closed position.
4

Connecting The CMC Module
Figure 4. Connecting the CMC Module
Connect the serial cable (optional) and network cable(s) from the management system to the CMC module. If a second
optional CMC module is installed, connect its network port as well.
NOTE: If the second CMC module (optional) is not installed, connect the network cable to CMC port 1 on the
enclosure.
NOTE: The serial port connects to the active CMC module.
Connecting The I/O Module
Figure 5. Connecting the I/O Module
Connect the network cable to the I/O module to provide network connection to the server.
NOTE: If you have a pass-through module installed in the enclosure, each server module requires its own network
cable.
NOTE: For information on configuring the network settings for the I/O module, see the Dell PowerEdge VRTX CMC
User's Guide at dell.com/esmmanuals.
5

Connecting The Optional Keyboard, Mouse, And Monitor
Figure 6. Connecting Keyboard, Mouse, And Monitor
Connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
The connectors on the front of your system have icons indicating which cable to plug into each connector. Be sure to
tighten the screws (if any) on the monitor's cable connector.
NOTE: Connecting the keyboard, mouse, and monitor is optional. You can use the LCD menu options to map a
server module to the KVM. You can also access the KVM remotely using the iDRAC interface. For more information,
see the iDRAC User's Guide at dell.com/esmmanuals.
Connecting The System To Power
Figure 7. Connecting The System To Power
Connect the power cables to the system power supplies.
NOTE: The power supply units must have the same maximum output power.
6

Securing The Power Cable
Figure 8. Securing The Power Cable
Bend the system power cable, as shown in the illustration, and attach to the cable strap.
Plug the other end of the power cable into a grounded electrical outlet or a separate power source, such as an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or a power distribution unit (PDU).
Turning On The Enclosure
Figure 9. Turning On The Enclosure
Press the power button on the enclosure. The power indicator should light.
NOTE: The CMC may take a few minutes to initialize after you turn on the enclosure.
Log in to the CMC web page using the CMC IP address displayed in the LCD panel. Configure the I/O module, and map
the virtual adapters and PCIe slots to the server slots. For more information, see the Dell PowerEdge VRTX CMC User's
Guide at dell.com/esmmanuals.
7

Turning On Server Modules
Figure 10. Turning on a Server Module
Press the power button on each server module, or power on the modules using the systems management software.
NOTE: The server modules do not power on until the CMC is properly configured and has fully initialized. It may
take an additional two minutes for the server iDRAC to initialize after the chassis is fully powered on.
Installing The Optional Bezel
Figure 11. Installing the Optional Bezel
Install the bezel (optional).
Complete The Operating System Setup
If you purchased a preinstalled operating system, see the documentation associated with the operating 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.
NOTE: See dell.com/support for the latest information on supported operating systems.
