Getting Started
Connecting AC power
Before connecting the server to an AC outlet, make sure the power source has sufficient
current capacity for the power requirements of the server system. If the system's power
consumption exceeds the capacity of the power source, the server can be damaged.
Always connect the server to a grounded AC outlet.
Never connect the server to the same AC outlet as an appliance that has a high power
consumption or that generates electrical noise, such as an air conditioner or photocopier.
HINT: Use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to avoid losing data when an
unexpected power failure occurs.
To connect the server to an AC power source:
1
If you have an EPS-R model server, set the AC switch on the back of the server to
Off.
2
Plug the power cable into the connector on the back of the server.
3
Using the nylon clamp, secure the power cable to the back of the server.
Securing the power cable
4
Plug the power cable into an AC outlet or, preferably, the power output connector of
an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
WARNING: Be sure to use the power cable supplied with the server. Using another
power cable could create a fire hazard.
