To protect the system against power outages, so that it can continue processing or shut down gracefully and
minimize the likelihood of data loss or corruption, you must connect the server to an uninterruptible power
supply (UPS).
For the Guide scenario, you will connect the FT server to two separate power supplies to provider greater fault
tolerance.
Connect your server to the power supplies as follows:
1. Locate two black power cords and two labels, A and B.
2. Attach an A label to one power cord and a B label to the other.
3. Connect one end of cable A to the receptacle on one of the modules. Connect the other end to the
UPS.
Make sure that the power interlock mechanism is unlocked when you insert the power cord.
4. Connect one end of cable B to the receptacle on the second module. Connect the other end to a
second, separate power source.
5. At the front of the system, make sure that you fully insert the modules in the shelf unit by tightening
the thumbscrews, if necessary. Then, at the rear of the system, turn the power interlock
mechanisms into the locked position.
Now that you have constructed your hardware platform, you can configure the operating system to utilize the
FT Server's fault tolerant capabilities.
