Initial Setup

1 Unpack the system and install it in a rack.
See the Getting Started Guide and Rack Installation Guide for more information.
2 Connect power to the power supplies.
NOTE:
You should power up the enclosure prior to inserting server modules if Ethernet switch
modules are installed. The Ethernet switch may take longer to boot than the server modules, which
may cause functions like PXE to fail due to the Ethernet switch not being fully booted and ready
to send packets.
3 Connect the keyboard, video, and mouse to the KVM module.
Figure 1-3 shows the basic cabling configuration for a KVM module.
