Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS)
If you do not use a UPS with the server, you may experience an arching effect when you plug in the power cord
to the AC power source. This is normal, due to the high inrush current of the power supply.
1. Place the UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) near the hp server to connect the two devices.
2. Connect the serial cable and power cord provided between the UPS and the hp server.
Refer to the user guide included with the UPS for additional information.
3. If you have connected the serial cable and power cord between the two devices, turn on the UPS.
The hp server tc2120 performs a diagnostic test when the power switch is turned on. If an error condition
occurs, note any error code appearing on the display, then refer to Chapter 6‚ Troubleshooting.

The following sections describe how to configure the hp server tc2120 with the help of the hp tc2120 Startup
CD-ROM, (BIOS) Setup Utility, and SCSISelect Utility. The (BIOS) Setup Utility and SCSISelect Utility

recognized the options after you have installed all of the optional accessories.

in the hp server tc2120 NOS Installation Guide.
