Operating Your System

Powering On With Optional System Console and L1/L2 Controller

To power on and boot your system using the system console, follow these steps:

1.If not yet done so, connect a system console to the server system as described in “Connecting the System Console” on page 36.

2.If the monitors and other peripherals are equipped with voltage select switches, verify that they are set for the appropriate AC voltage and plug them in. Note that they are normally plugged into sources outside the rack system.

3.Turn on the on/off circuit breaker switchs of the PDU as shown in Figure 1-20.
