Note: Server 1 (usually the server at the bottom of the rack) is the server to
which you connect the C2T breakout cable.
3. Turn the servers on and check the operation of the monitor, pointing device, and
keyboard with each server. See “Turning on the server” on page 21 for
instructions to turn on the server. See “Testing the C2T chain” for testing
instructions.
Note: Write-on adhesive labels have been provided so that you can label the server
position in the rack.
Testing the C2T chain
After connecting the C2T chain, you will need to test the monitor, keyboard, and
pointing device to be sure that they work with each of the servers.
Follow these steps to test the C2T cabling:
1. With the servers powered up and the monitor on, press the Select button on
server 1 in the C2T chain.
2. Check the monitor to see if it is working.
3. Use the mouse or pointing device to open an application.
4. Test your keyboard by typing a few words within an application.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each of the servers in the chain.
Note: If you cannot use the devices, check your cable connections and retry the test.
If the problem persists, turn off the servers and connect the C2T breakout
cable directly to the C2T (Out) connector of the server. Turn on the server and
retry the devices. If the devices work, you probably have a bad C2T chaining
cable. Replace the cable and retry the devices in the C2T chain configuration.
Cable management
Use the cable ties and hook-and-loop straps that are supplied with your server to
secure the cables.
Note: Do not secure cables too tightly. Overtightening can cause internal damage to
cables.
