Cabling The Server And Connecting Expansion Units; Completing The Server Setup; Completing The Server Setup By Using An Hmc - IBM Power System S822 Installing Instructions

To connect the KVM, complete the following steps:
1. Locate the graphics card and USB ports at the rear of the system. You might need a connector
converter.
2. Connect the monitor cable to the graphics card.
3. Connect a keyboard and mouse to the USB ports.
4. Power on the console.
5. Continue with "Cabling the server and connecting expansion units."

Cabling the server and connecting expansion units

Use this procedure to cable the server and connect expansion units.
To cable the server, complete the following steps:
1. Cable the server.
a. Plug the power cord into the power supply.
b. Plug the system power cords and the power cords for any other attached devices into the
alternating current (ac) power source.
Note: Confirm that the system is in standby mode. The green power status indicator on the front
control panel is flashing, and the dc out indicator lights on the power supplies are flashing. If
none of the indicators are flashing, check the power cord connections. For details, see "Common
system attention LEDs and system reference codes" on page 33.
c. 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 an IEC 320
type receptacle.
2) Attach the PDU input power cord and plug it into the alternating current (ac) power source.
2. For information about connecting enclosures and expansion units, see Enclosures and expansion units

Completing the server setup

Learn about the tasks you must complete to set up your managed system.
Select from the following options:
v "Completing the server setup by using an HMC"
v "Completing the server setup without using a management console" on page 21

Completing the server setup by using an HMC:

Perform these tasks to complete the server setup by using a Hardware Management Console (HMC). You
can also begin to use virtualization to consolidate multiple workloads onto fewer systems to increase
server use, and to reduce cost.
®
To manage POWER7 processor-based systems, the HMC must be at version 8 release 8.1.0, or later.
To complete the server setup by using an HMC, complete the following steps:
1. Attach the server to the rack using the shipping screws that were provided with your system.
2. Change the managed system passwords by completing the following steps:
a. In the navigation area, expand Systems Management > Servers.
b. In the content area, select the managed system.
c. In the operations area, click Update password.
