Chapter 3. Solution hardware setup
To set up the solution, install any options that have been purchased, cable the solution, configure and update
the firmware, and install the operating system.
Solution setup checklist
Use the solution setup checklist to ensure that you have performed all tasks that are required to set up your
solution.
The solution setup procedure varies depending on the configuration of the solution when it was delivered. In
some cases, the solution is fully configured and you just need to connect the solution to the network and an
ac power source, and then you can power on the solution. In other cases, the solution needs to have
hardware options installed, requires hardware and firmware configuration, and requires an operating system
to be installed.
The following steps describe the general procedure for setting up a solution:
1. Unpack the solution package. See “Solution package contents” on page 1.
2. Set up the solution hardware.
a. Install any required hardware or solution options. See the related topics in “Install solution hardware
options” on page 32.
b. If necessary, install the solution into a standard rack cabinet by using the rail kit shipped with the
solution. See the Rack Installation Instructions that comes with optional rail kit.
c. Connect the Ethernet cables and power cords to the solution. See “Rear view” on page 18 to locate
the connectors. See “Cable the enclosure” on page 64 for cabling best practices.
d. Power on the solution. See “Power on nodes” on page 64.
Note: You can access the management processor interface to configure the system without
powering on the solution. Whenever the solution is connected to power, the management processor
interface is available. For details about accessing the management node processor, see:
