Power on the Chassis

Use only the power cable provided with your InfiniBand system.

4.Remove the power cords from the shipping package.

One power cord UL rated 12 Amps/125 VAC or greater is provided by default. If you have a high-availability unit, you will have a second power cord.

5.Inspect the power cord and determine if it provides the proper plug and is appropriately certified for use with your electrical system. Discard the cord if it is inappropriate for your national electrical system and obtain the proper cord, as required by your national electrical codes or ordinances.

Grounding is supplied by the ground-prong on the 3-prong power plug. Do not attach a separate ground cable. Do not use adapter plugs. Do not remove the ground prong from the cable. Ensure the ground connection on the power supply is correct and functioning before applying power to the chassis.

6.Insert the power cords to the power jacks on the rear of the chassis. If you only have a single power cord, insert it into the left receptacle.

Refer toFigure 2-8for power jack locations.

7.Plug the other end of each AC power cable into a 90-264VAC power outlet operating at 47-63Hz.

Attach the chassis only to approved power sources, as indicated by the electrical ratings label. If you are unsure of the correct power-source to use, contact your support personnel or your local power company.

The chassis automatically starts and boots. You can watch the running status via the serial console. Use the correct external power-source.

8.Check the LEDs on the front of the Topspin 270/Cisco SFS 7008 system. When the system first

powers up, it performs a power-on self test (POST). Refer to “System-Wide Status LED” on page 68.

You will know that the system has completed the boot process when you see a login prompt.
