Setting Up Your System for the First Time
After you have unpacked the server, rolled it into position and used the
jacking mechanism on the front castors to immobilize it (see the separate
document Getting Started), use the following steps to set up the system:
1.
Connect the monitor, keyboard, mouse and mains power cables to
the sockets on the server's backplane.
2.
Establish the appropriate link which will enable you to run the
System Management Application (SMA), such as:
−
Direct link to another PC. In this case, use the supplied serial-
to-PC cable to connect the SMC modem port to the serial port
on the separate diagnostic computer.
−
Modem link to a computer at another location. Use the
supplied serial-to-modem cable to connect the SMC port to the
modem.
−
You can also run the SMA over the network itself.
3.
Switch the mains socket on. The Uninterruptible Power Supply LED
should display steady green (battery fully charged) or flash green
(battery pack is charging). If the LED is flashing, it will take a
maximum of 36 hours to charge the batteries from full discharge.
The system is now in Standby mode.
4.
Press the P
