7.Slide the power cord retention bracket until the bracket touches the enclosure.

8.Insert the power cord retention tabs into the slots on the enclosure until they snap into place.

9.Slide each snap clamp over the end of each power cord overmold, and then squeeze each snap clamp closed.

10.Set the AC circuit breakers for the enclosure to On.

When the enclosure powers up for the first time, it might take up to 5 minutes before all server blades are initialized and recognized by the Onboard Administrator. The time it takes to complete initialization depends on the number of server blades configured in the enclosure. For example, a full enclosure of 16 server blades might take 5 minutes to power up, while an enclosure with fewer server blades might take less time.

When first initialized, the Onboard Administrator programs the mezzanine cards on the server blades during discovery. After the mezzanine cards are programmed, powering up the enclosure takes only 1 to 2 minutes.

The enclosure and the Insight Display now have power. Configure the enclosure using the Insight Display.
