Power Up the System

6Quick Installation Guide

To get your system powered up and ready to operate:

81 Verify that each unused slot is covered with a blank faceplate.

To view possible error messages while the system is running power-up diagnostics, connect a terminal, workstation, or PC with terminal emulation software to the system’s terminal serial port. See the next section and Table 5.

2On the back panel, insert the power cord into the power receptacle. See .

CAUTION: To prevent a possible fire hazard, verify that the power cord is fully inserted.

If the spring-loaded power supply latch partially covers the power receptacle, it is because the power supply is not fully inserted and the locking pin cannot fully extend into its slot.
