Cabling the Server

Connect the server power cables, and external cables in the following order:

1.Connect two grounded server power cords to grounded electrical outlets (1, 2).

Note – Connect only one cable if your server does not have a redundant power supply.

2.Connect the two server power cords to the AC power connectors on the back panel of the server.

In standby power mode, the Power/OK LED on the front panel flashes, indicating that the service processor (SP) is working as shown in FIGURE 3-2. At this point, before initial configuration, standby power is supplied only to the SP and power supply fans.
