Getting Familiar With The System; Making Connections; Connecting The Power Cord(S) - NEC Express5800 320La User Manual

Getting Familiar with the System

Before setting up your system, see System Overview in Chapter 1 of this User's
Guide to become familiar with the system's characteristics, such as the location
of your system's front and rear panel switches, indicators and connectors, etc.

Making Connections

If your system normally operates without a video display or keyboard (for
example, as a network server), you must install a video display and keyboard to
configure the system. You may remove them after running the BIOS Setup
Utility. For information on running the BIOS Setup Utility, refer to Chapter 3
Configuring Your System of this User's Guide.
Connect your keyboard, monitor, and mouse; see Figure 1-5 in Chapter 1 of this
User's Guide. Connect any external peripheral devices such as a modem by
following the instructions included with these devices.
Inserting a telephone line connector into a LAN board RJ-45
port may result in personal injury and equipment damage.

Connecting the Power Cord(s)

Plug the female end of each AC power cord into the input receptacle(s) on the
rear of the server unit chassis (see Figure 2-9). Plug the male end of the power
cord into NEMA 5-15R outlet for 100-120 VAC or NEMA 6-15R outlet for
200-240 VAC or optional UPS AC outlets. Most optional Uninterruptible Power
Source (UPS) units have a 30 amp plug that requires a special L5-30R outlet
(see Figure 2-10) to be plugged into a 100-120 VAC outlet.
If the power cord(s) supplied with the system are not compatible with the AC
wall outlet in your region, obtain a suitable power cord that meets the following
criteria.
The power cord must be rated for the available AC voltage and have a
!
current rating that is at least 125% of the current rating of the system.
The power cord connector that plugs into the wall outlet must be
!
terminated in a grounding-type male plug designed for use in your region.
It must have certification marks showing certification by an agency
acceptable in your region.
The power cord connector that plugs into the system must be an IEC-
!
type CEE-22 female connector.
The power cord must be less than 1.8 meters (6.0 feet) long.
