Chapter 2: Setting Up Your Server

Starting your server

Before you start your server for the first time:

Make sure that the server and monitor are plugged into a power outlet or UPS and
that the UPS (if you are using one) is turned on.

Make sure that all cables are connected securely to the correct ports and jacks on the
back of the server.

To start the server:

Press the power button.

Important

When you plug the AC power cords into the power supplies, wait for
20 to 30 seconds. The system will automatically power on for about
3 seconds, then power down. This allows the BMC to initialize the
out-of-band management capabilities.

Caution

When you connect peripheral devices to the server, make sure that
your server and devices are turned off and the power cords are
unplugged.
