Installing the hardware

IThe service LAN port (pos. 1 in figure 8 on page 51) and the LAN ports for blade server management (pos. 4 and 5 in figure 8 on page 51) must be in different LAN subnetworks.

It is recommended to operate the management blade user interface in a separate broadcast domain for the server management.

ÊConnect the data cables according to the system configuration you require.

Ports on the back of the system unit

On the front of the system unit are the ports of the server blades for local administration. For information on these, see the operating manuals for the relevant server blades.

4.4.1Cable routing

The cables are routed along the support uprights of the rack.

4.5Connecting the system unit to the mains

The system unit has six bays for hot-swap power supply units. In the base configuration, it is fitted with three power supply units.

VCAUTION!

Read the information on determining how many power supply units are required (see "Hot-plug power supply units" on page 126).

The power supply units automatically adjust to a mains voltage between 100 - 240 V. The system unit may only be used if the local mains voltage is within the voltage range of the system.

The 2880 W power supply units may only be connected to 16 A power outlets, a UPS, a 32 A power distribution unit, or CEE sockets. When ordering the system unit, you must specify which socket type is available at the installation location, so that the cables with the appropriate C19 connectors can be supplied.

For the Japanese market:

The 918W power supply units may only be connected to NEMA L6- 30, IEC 60320-C20, or NEMA 5-15 sockets.
