Operations
Install an AC power supply
Procedure
1. Align the power supply to the system.
2. Insert the power supply until it locks in place.
3. Connect the power cord and tie wrap the cable.
You must press the Power On/Off button twice to power on the system.
Install the DC power supply
Procedure
1. Remove the ring tongue from the top of the power supply.
14 Operations

2. Crimp the ring tongue to the ground cable from the -48V power source.
3. Remove the black connector from the rear of the power supply.
Operations 15

4. Loosen the screws on the connector.
5. Attach the (earthed) cable to the ground screw and washer and tighten to 13 lb-in of torque. The
ground cable must be connected before connecting the -48V wire and return wire.
16 Operations

6. Insert the -48V wire into the left side of the connector and tighten the screw to 10 lb-in of torque.
7. Insert the return wire into the right side of the connector and tighten the screw to 10 lb-in of torque.
Operations 17

8. Insert the power supply into the power supply bay until it clicks into place.
9. Insert the connector into the power supply.
18 Operations

10. Attach the cables to the power supply handle with the hook-and-loop strap.
11. Route the power cord. Use best practices when routing power cords and other cables. A cable
management arm is available to help with routing. To obtain a cable management arm, contact a
Hewlett Packard Enterprise authorized reseller.
12. Make sure the -48V DC power source is off or the PDU breaker is in the off position, and then
connect the power cord to the -48V DC power source or PDU.
13. Turn on the -48V power source or switch the PDU breaker to the on position to supply -48V to the
power supply.
14. Be sure that the green power supply LED is on.
Install a power supply blank
Procedure
Align the power supply blank to the unused power supply bay on the system, and insert until it locks in
place.
Operations 19

Power down the system
Before powering down the system for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, back up critical system
data and programs.
Before performing chassis maintenance, shut down all blades installed in the system.
Procedure
• Use one of the following methods to power down the system:
◦ Press and release the Power On/Standby button of the blades installed in the system.
This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the system enters
standby mode.
◦ Press and hold the Power On/Standby button of the blades installed in the system for more than 4
seconds to force the system to power down.
This method forces the system to power down without properly exiting applications and the OS. If
an application stops responding, you can use this method to force a shutdown.
Verify the system is in standby mode and the system power LED is off.
Power up the system
If the system is connected to a power source, it powers up automatically by default. Generally, it has to be
powered up only after a manual shutdown. However, using iLO, blades can be individually configured to
not power up automatically.
Procedure
• Use one of the following methods to power up the system:
◦ Press the Power On/Standby button of the blade installed in the system.
◦ Remotely power up the system through iLO.
Mount the system
The following kits are available to mount your system:
