Completing the installation

After you connect the cables to the modules and route the cables (if necessary, see the Rack Installation Instructions for information about routing the cables), start the BladeCenter unit (if it is not already started) and verify that it is working properly, as follows:

1.Start the BladeCenter unit by connecting the power-module power cords to a 220-volt power source (a 220-volt power distribution unit (PDU) that is connected to a 220-volt ac power outlet).

2.Make sure the LEDs on the modules indicate that they are operating properly. Verify that:

v The dc power LED and the ac power LED on each power module are lit.

vThe OK LED on each management module is lit.

vThe OK LED on each I/O module is lit.

3.Make sure the Power-on LED on each blade server is lit, either steady or blinking.

See Chapter 3, “BladeCenter unit power, controls, and indicators”, on page 29 for information about starting the BladeCenter unit and the location of the LEDs on the modules. See the BladeCenter HS20 Type 8678 Installation and User’s Guide on the BladeCenter Documentation CD for the location of the LEDs on the blade servers.
