Attaching the management module's Ethernet Port to a network
The management module's 10BaseT/100BaseTX/1000BaseTX Ethernet (management) port (RJ-45 UTP connector)
allows you to connect the management port to a network. A management station in your existing management
network can then access a PowerConnect B-MLXe Series chassis using the management application.
To attach the management module's Ethernet port to a network, you need a Category 5 UTP straight-through cable
(not supplied by Dell). Connect one end of the straight-through cable to the management port and the other end to
the network.

Activating the power source

After you complete the hardware installation, you can power-on your power source.
1. Verify that all modules and power supplies are fully and properly installed and no module slots are uncovered.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot blank in place. If you run the chassis with
an uncovered slot, the system may overheat.
2. If your power source is AC, attach one end of a Dell-supplied AC power cord to the AC power supply as described
in "Connecting AC power"
Insert the other end into a 115V or 120V wall outlet. Repeat this step for each installed AC power supply.
DANGER
If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make sure you
use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in
your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.
NOTE
The PowerConnect B-MLXe Series chassis is designed to provide uninterrupted service even when you insert or
remove the management modules and the interface modules. Therefore, the system does not have a separate
on/off power switch. To turn the system off, simply unplug the power cords.
NOTE
The wall outlet should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.
