Branch Circuit Caution: Evaluate the overall loading of the branch circuit before
you install any equipment into a rack.
To power up the system:
1 Turn on the power switches located on the power input module in
the rear of the system. See Figure 6-1.
2 Monitor the LEDs on the front of the SRP modules to verify that the
system is booting properly. See Table 8-2 in Chapter 8,
