If you are installing your server into a new rack, ensure that you have completed the
unpacking instructions that were provided with the rack.
If your s is already installed in a rack, skip to task 7
Place the rack in the location of the installation.
Use the wrench that was provided with your rack to level the rack by raising or
lowering the front and back leveling feet .
Install the stabilizer bracket on the front of the rack.
If necessary, remove any trim kit pieces that were previously installed on the
rack. Removing the trim kit pieces allows you to read the EIA units on the rack.

Route the power cords through the rings or clamps, if available, and
connect to the server, monitor, and HMC.
Connect the mouse and keyboard cables to the appropriate ports on the
back of the HMC. If your mouse and keyboard use Universal Serial Bus
(USB) cables, you can connect these to the ports on the front of the HMC.
Do not connect the power
cords to a power source until instructed to do so.
Important: Ensure that if there is a voltage switch next to the power
connector on the monitor, it is in the appropriate position for the voltage
used in your geography.
7.4 Attach the monitor cable to the monitor connector on the HMC and
tighten the screws.
Tip: If you are using the rack-mounted LCD monitor and keyboard (7316-TF3),
use the C2T-to-KVM adapter breakout cable to attach to the HMC.
A Hardware Management Console (HMC) is a system that connects to the server and manages it
through a network.
If you are using a rack-mounted HMC, these steps assume that it is already installed in the rack.
If you need to install the HMC into the rack, follow the instructions in the IBM Systems Hardware
Information Center, and return to this guide when you are ready to begin cabling your HMC. For details
about how to access the information center, see task 9
If you are not using an HMC to manage your server, you can use the Integrated
Virtualization Manager (IVM), a graphics terminal, or an ASCII terminal. If you plan to use
IVM, which allows you to create and manage partitions, skip to task 8
. For information about the other console
options, go to the IBM Systems Hardware Information Center. For details about how to
access the information center, see task 9 .

If you are not using a modem, skip to step 7.6.
If you are using the integrated HMC modem, connect the telephone cable to the
modem and to the analog jack on the wall. If you are using an external modem,
connect the modem data cable to the external modem and to a serial port on
the HMC. Then connect the telephone cable to the external modem and to the
analog jack on the wall.
Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the HMC and to
the Ethernet port labeled HMC1 on the server.
For a stand-alone HMC, use the integrated Ethernet port. For the 7310-CR2 rack-
mounted HMC, use the bottom-right Ethernet port. For the 7310-CR3 rack-
mounted HMC, use the left port of the two planar board Ethernet ports.

CAUTION: This product is equipped with a 3-wire (two conductors and a
ground) power cable and plug. Use this power cable with a properly
grounded electrical outlet to avoid electrical shock. (C018)

source. Do not connect the server to a power source until instructed to do so.
You have completed the basic setup. Go to task 9 Finish your system setup.
Route the cables through the cable-management arm on the server, and
secure the cables with the straps provided.
If using an external modem, plug the power cord into the modem.

Connect an Ethernet cable from the PC to the port labeled HMC1 on the back of
the server. If HMC1 is occupied, use the port labeled HMC2.
If you are using any optional adapters, connect the cables to the appropriate
adapter connectors in the PCI slots of your server and PC.
Cable the server and access the Integrated
Virtualization Manager
