Completing the installation
After you connect the cables to the modules and route the cables (if necessary, see
the
Rack Installation Instructions
for information about routing the cables), start the
BladeCenter unit (if it is not already started) and verify that it is working properly, as
follows:
1. Start the BladeCenter unit by connecting the power-module power cords to a
220-volt power source (a 220-volt power distribution unit (PDU) that is
connected to a 220-volt ac power outlet).
2. Make sure the LEDs on the modules indicate that they are operating properly.
Verify that:
v
The dc power LED and the ac power LED on each power module are lit.
v
The OK LED on each management module is lit.
v
The OK LED on each switch module is lit.
3. Make sure the Power-on LED on each blade server is lit, either steady or
blinking.
