Installing and Cabling the System
2.
Connect the server blade network connectors to the network:
— For the interconnect switch, be sure that at least one of the uplink connectors
is cabled. Any server blade NIC can be routed to any uplink connector.
However, because NIC 1 is PXE-enabled by default on each server blade, it
is recommended that either port 25 or 26 of switch A be used for PXE
functions.
— For the RJ-21 patch panel, be sure that cables for both NIC 1 and NIC 2 are
connected for each group of ten server blades you intend to install in the
enclosure. The two NIC 1 RJ-21 connectors provide PXE connectivity by
default to each group of ten server blades.
— For the RJ-45 patch panel, be sure that cables are connected for each server
blade you intend to install in the enclosure. The NIC 1 RJ-45 connector for
each server blade provides PXE-enabled connectivity by default.
3.
Connect an AC power cord to each hot-plug power supply. Note that the
enclosure will power up as soon as an AC power cord is connected to a power
source and a power supply.
