Dell M905 manual Connect the CMC and KVM Modules, Connect the System to Power

Connect the CMC and KVM Modules

Connect the serial cable and network cable from the management system to the CMC module. If a second, optional CMC module is installed, connect it as well. (If your chassis was shipped with M805 or M905 blades pre-installed, the included CMC firmware will be version 1.2 or greater.)

Connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the optional iKVM module.

Connect the System to Power

Connect the system’s power cables to the system power supplies.

NOTICE: To prevent the power cables from being disconnected accidentally, use the plastic clip on each power supply to secure the power cable to the power supply, and use the Velcro strap to secure the cable to the strain-relief bar.

Next, plug the other end of the power cables into a separate power source such as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or a power distribution unit (PDU).
