About this task
To cable the server and to connect expansion units, complete the following steps:
Procedure
1. Complete the following steps:
a. Plug the power cords into the power supplies.
Note: If a plug is covering a port that you need to use on the rear of the system, remove and discard
it. The port covers ensure that you are reminded that you must reset the Administrator password
on your managed system upon initial system IPL.
b. Route the power cords and other cables on the cable-management arm.
c. Attach all cables to the rear of the server.
d. Secure the cord and cables with cable ties or hook-and-loop fasteners.
e. Plug the system power cords and the power cords for any other attached devices into the power
source.
f. If your system uses a power distribution unit (PDU), complete the following steps:
1) Connect the system power cords from the server and I/O drawers to the PDU with the power
cords that were included with the system.
Note: If your system uses two PDUs for system power redundancy, plug E1 and E2 to PDU A
and E3 and E4 to PDU B. If your system uses four PDUs for redundancy, plug each power supply
to a separate PDU.
For power source redundancy, do not connect power supply 1 (5) and power supply 3 (7) to the
same AC feed. Likewise, do not connect power supply 2 (6) and power supply 4 (8) to the same
AC feed.
