6. Connect the cables to the appropriate ports on the server canister operator panels and the jacks for
the power modules. Do not connect the power cords to a power module now.
7. Starting with the thickest gauge cable first, run each cable through the loops on the CMA.
8. Test the CMA to ensure smooth operation. Ensure that the cables do not have pinching or bindings.
Note: When you pull the enclosure from the rack, the rails lock in the serviceable position. To
release the rails from the serviceable position, press the release tab on each inner member rail and
simultaneously push the enclosure into the rack.
Connecting the components (IBM SSR task)
After installing rails and the IBM Elastic Storage System 3200 enclosure in the rack, the next step is to
connect to the power and network.
Connecting Ethernet cables to the server canisters
To provide the system management connectivity for your system, you must connect the Ethernet cables
to Ethernet port of each server canister in IBM Elastic Storage System 3200.
Connect Ethernet port of each server canister in the system to the IP network that will provide the
connection to the system management interfaces, as shown in the following figure.
