Connecting the Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse

CAUTION

not plugged in or equipment could be damaged.
Before powering on the server, you must connect these devices to the back of the SR870BN4
server.
1. Video monitor to the video port (C in Figure 5)
2. Keyboard to a USB port (G in Figure 5)
3. Mouse to a USB port (G in Figure 5)

Powering On the Server for the First Time

The first time you power on the server you need to enter the BIOS Setup Utility and set the correct
date and time values. After setting these values the server executes its Power-On Self Test (POST)
sequence and passes control to the Boot Manager. From the Boot Manager, you can mount the
LS240 device to block zero and then load the operating system.
For information on the Boot Manager and the EFI Shell, refer to the SR870BN4 Server System
Product Guide.
Follow these steps to power up the SR870BN4 server for the first time:
1. Make sure all external devices, such as a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, have been connected.
2. Plug the female ends of both AC power cords into the back of the chassis (A in Figure 5).
3. Plug the male ends of the server AC power cords into wall outlets (grounded, three-pronged
AC power outlets).
4. Power on the video monitor.
5. Press the Power button on the Front Control Panel (F in Figure 4 on page 12). Pressing this
button causes the server fans to start up and POST to begin.
6. When POST displays the message: "Hit <F2> if you want to run SETUP," enter <F2> and the
system will enter the BIOS Setup Utility. (If you see a prompt asking for a system password,
pressing the <ENTER> key will get you directly to the BIOS Setup Utility.)
NOTE
For information on how to use the BIOS Setup Utility, see the
Intel SR870BN4 Server System Product Guide.
7. From the Main menu of the BIOS Setup Utility, use the arrow keys to move the cursor down
to the system date and time selections. Position the cursor over the date and time values and
enter appropriate values. Use the <tab> key to move within the date and time fields.
