Caution!

When hot-swapping power supply modules, always unplug the module from the wall outlet before attempting to remove the module.

Warning!

For safety reasons, both upper and lower bezel doors must be closed and locked while the system is running.

To Connect Peripherals

1.Connect the keyboard (orange) and mouse (purple) to their respective ports using the pictures and color coding on the back panel as a guide.

2.Connect the monitor video cable (blue connector) to the matching blue video port. The location of the port may vary depending on whether you use the integrated video or a video card.

3.Connect the monitor power cable to an AC outlet or, preferably, a surge control outlet station.

4.Verify that the voltage selector switch on the power supply module is set for the proper voltage (115V or 230V). If the system includes two power supply modules, each module has a voltage selector switch and connects independently to the building power.

5.Connect the power cable to the AC-in power socket on the power supply module. If the system includes both modules, there is an AC-in power socket on each module.

6.Connect the other end of the power cable(s) to an AC outlet.

Starting the system

Press the on/off switch on the front panel to start the system (see “Front panel” on page 9 for the location of the power button). The green LED on the front panel lights.

If you turn off the system, you must wait at least ten seconds before you turn the system back on.

The system self-checks the memory even if the monitor is not connected. If the monitor is connected and on, the screen displays the start-up sequence, including:

•If more than one processor is installed, the system displays which processor it is currently testing.
