Connecting the power cords
__ If your workstation is equipped with a retention bracket, route the power cord under the bracket before
you plug it into the back of the workstation. See the following figure as an example:
__ Plug the power cords into the system, display, and attached devices. Do not connect the power cords to a
power source until instructed to do so.
Note: If you connect your workstation to a power source before the HMC is configured as the DHCP server, the
workstation will initialize using the default IP address values (HMC1 as 192.168.2.147 and HMC2 as
192.168.3.147) instead of waiting for an address value from the HMC. If you inadvertently connect your
workstation to a power source, the IP address value will be corrected in the HMC configuration portion of the
installation.
