Initial System Configuration
Before You Begin
CAUTION: The enclosure power supplies must be connected to a PDU or to an electrical outlet. The power
supplies require a 100 V to 120 V or 200 V to 240 V power source. You can select only one AC power input, as the
system does not operate at both ranges simultaneously.
NOTE: Ensure that all the component software are upgraded to the latest versions. For information on the latest
supported firmware and driver versions, see the Drivers & Downloads link on dell.com/support/drivers, for your
system.
•
Your system supports Dell PowerEdge M520, M620, and M820 server modules that are specifically configured for the
enclosure, and can be identified by a label marked PCIe on the server module. If you install PowerEdge M520, M620,
and M820 server modules that are not configured for the enclosure, an error message is displayed. For more
information on configuring a server module for the enclosure, see
Configuring A Server Module
.
•
Ensure that you have downloaded the latest BIOS on the server module(s) from dell.com/support.
•
Update all PCIe mezzanine card firmware and iDRAC firmware on the server module(s).
•
Download the latest version of CMC firmware from dell.com/support. Also, make sure that you have the
Dell Systems
Management Tools and Documentation
DVD that was included with your system.
•
If your network uses static addressing, you need the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway to configure the CMC
and other modules in the enclosure.
Initial Setup Sequence
CAUTION: To maintain optimum thermal conditions, ensure that there are no obstructions to airflow on the front
and back of the enclosure. The front and back of the enclosure must have at least 30 cm (12 inches) and 61 cm (24
inches) of unobstructed space respectively.
•
Unpack the enclosure and the server module(s) and identify each item. For more information, see the
Getting Started
Guide
and
Rack Installation Guide
at dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
•
The tower system has four feet on its bottom panel that can be extended outward to help properly stabilize the
system. You can also install the optional wheel assembly. For more information, see
Installing The Wheel Assembly
.
WARNING: Failure to extend the system feet outward poses the risk of having the system tip over, possibly
causing bodily injury or damage to the system.
CAUTION: Rolling the system on its wheels can cause vibrations that can damage the system.
