4.Connect all nodes to an ac power source and make sure that they are not running an operating system.

5.Access the network used by the multi-node configuration and connect and log in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter II Web Interface on the primary node. See the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine and Remote Supervisor Adapter II User’s Guide for more information; then, continue with the procedure to create a scalable partition.
