Initial System Configuration
Before You Begin
Power Requirements
CAUTION: The enclosure power supplies must be connected to a Type B or
permanently-connected PDU and not directly to an electrical outlet. The power
supplies require a 100–120 V or 200–240 V power source. You can select only one
AC power input, as the system does not operate at both ranges simultaneously.
Network Information
If your network uses static addressing, you need the IP address, subnet mask,
and gateway
to configure the CMC and other modules in the enclosure.
Initial Setup Sequence
1
Unpack the enclosure and install it in a rack.
For more information, see the
Getting Started Guide
and
Rack Installation
Guide
at
support.dell.com/manuals
.
CAUTION: Do not turn on the blades (server modules) until you have configured
the switch modules, as described in "Configuring the I/O Modules" on page 47.
2
Connect the power supply units to a PDU.
3
If an optional iKVM module is installed, connect the keyboard, video, and
mouse to the enclosure control panel (see Figure 1-4) or to the iKVM
module (see Figure 1-16).
NOTE: Connecting a keyboard, video, and mouse to the enclosure front panel
disables video output to the iKVM back panel port.
4
Press the power button on the enclosure control panel. See Figure 1-4.
