2. For multiple host servers connected to a C410x:
a. Power Up Sequence:
i.
Power up the PCI cage(s) associated with the iPass port connected to the C410x.
NOTE: The PCI cage power can be applied by pressing the cage power button or
using IPMITool commands identified in the “Using the C410x Base Board
