Cabling the server and connecting expansion units
Learn how to cable the server and to connect expansion units.
To cable the server and to connect expansion units, complete the following steps:
1. Complete the following steps:
a. Plug the power cord into the power supply.
b. Route the power cords and other cables on the cable-management arm. Attach all cables to the
rear of the server. Secure the cord and cables with cable ties or hook-and-loop fasteners.
c. Plug the system power cords and the power cords for any other attached devices into the power
source.
d. If your system uses a power distribution unit (PDU), complete the following steps:
1)
Connect the system power cords from the server and I/O drawers to the PDU with an IEC 320
type receptacle.
2) Attach the PDU input power cord and plug it into the power source.
3) If your system uses two PDUs for redundancy, complete the following steps:
v If your system has two power supplies, attach one power supply to each of the two PDUs.
v If your system has four power supplies, plug E1 and E2 to PDU A and E3 and E4 to PDU
B
.
Note: Confirm that the system is in standby mode. The green power status indicator on the
front control panel is flashing, and the dc out indicator lights on the power supplies are
flashing. If none of the indicators are flashing, check the power cord connections.

Completing the server setup
Learn about the tasks you must complete to set up your managed system.
Select from the following options:
v “Completing the server setup by using an HMC”
v “Completing the server setup without using an HMC” on page 20
Completing the server setup by using an HMC
Perform these tasks to complete the server setup by using a Hardware Management Console (HMC). You
can also begin to use virtualization to consolidate multiple workloads onto fewer systems to increase
server use, and to reduce cost.
To manage POWER8
®
processor-based systems, the HMC must be at version 8 release 8.4.0 or later.
To complete the server setup by using an HMC, complete the following steps:
1. Attach the server to the rack using the shipping screws (A) that were provided with your system.
