Connecting the Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse
CAUTION
Unplug server before connecting external devices, make sure the server is not plugged in or equipment
could be damaged.
Before powering on the server, you must connect these devices to the front or back of the Server
System.
1. Video monitor to the video port
2. Keyboard to a USB port
3. Mouse to a USB port
Powering On the Server for the First Time
The first time you power on the server you need to enter the BIOS Setup Utility and set the correct
date and time values. After setting these values, the server executes its Power-On Self Test (POST)
sequence and passes control to the Boot Manager. From the Boot Manager, you can mount the
DVD/CD-RW device to block zero and then load the operating system.
For information on the Boot Manager and the EFI Shell, refer to the MAXDATA PLATINUM Server
9000-2R Product Guide.
Follow these steps to power up the Server System for the first time:
1. Make sure all external devices, such as a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, have been
connected.
2. Plug the female ends of both AC power cords into the back of the chassis (B 1 and 2 in
Figure 5)
3. Plug the male ends of the server AC power cords into wall outlets (grounded, three-
pronged AC power outlets).
4. Power on the video monitor.
5. Press the Power button on the Front Control Panel (A in Figure 4). Pressing this button
causes the server fans to start up and POST to begin.
6. When POST displays the message: “Hit <F2> if you want to run SETUP”, enter <F2>
and the system will enter the BIOS Setup Utility. (If you see a prompt asking for a system
password, pressing the <ENTER> key will get you directly to the BIOS Setup Utility.)
NOTE
For information on how to use the BIOS Setup Utility, see the MAXDATA PLATINUM Server 9000-2R
Product Guide.
7. From the Main menu of the BIOS Setup Utility, use the arrow keys to move the cursor
down to the system date and time selections. Position the cursor over the date and time
values and enter appropriate values. Use the <tab> key to move within the date and
time fields.
8. Use the arrow key to access the Exit menu and select the item to save changes and exit
the BIOS Setup Utility. After you exit the utility, the boot procedure resumes. You can
monitor the remainder of the boot progress on the video display.
