Server Connections
4. (Optional) Connect an Ethernet cable between the server’s NET MGT port (
FIGURE 2
) and the network to
which future connections to the SP and host will be made.
After the initial configuration of the system using the SER MGT port, communication with the SP and host is
usually performed through this Ethernet interface.
5. Connect an Ethernet cable between one of the server’s NET ports (
FIGURE 2
) and the network to which the
server will communicate.
6. Plug the power cords into the power supplies and into separate power sources.
If your server is equipped with two power supplies, plug them into separate power sources. This will
provide your system with power redundancy. The system can operate with one power connection, but this
removes the redundancy.
When power is applied, the SP initializes and power supply LEDs illuminate. After a few minutes, the SP
login prompt appears on the terminal device. Note that the host is not initialized or powered on yet.
