2-6 Setting Up Your System
Connecting the Power Cords
Plug the female end of each AC power cord into the input receptacles on the
rear of the power supplies (see Figure 2-2). Plug the male end of each power
cord into NEMA 5-15R outlet for 100-120 VAC or NEMA 6-15R outlet for
200-240 VAC. If the power cords supplied with the system are not compatible
with the AC wall outlet in your region, obtain a suitable power cord that meets
the following criteria.
The power cord must be rated for the available AC voltage and have a
current rating that is at least 125% of the current rating of the system.
The power cord connector that plugs into the wall outlet must be
terminated in a grounding-type male plug designed for use in your region.
It must have certification marks showing certification by an agency
acceptable in your region.
The power cord connector that plugs into the system must be an IEC-
type CEE-22 female connector.
The power cord must be less than 1.8 meters (6.0 feet) long.
After connecting a power cord, make sure to secure the cord with the tie-wrap
on the side of the power unit, so that the power cord is not accidentally pulled
out of its receptacle.
After the power cord is plugged in confirm that the two power status lamps on
the power unit are lit. If either or both lamps are off, a failure occurred in the
power unit, see System Status LED Indicators in Chapter 1 of this User's Guide.
When connecting the power cord to a power control unit such as an UPS,
confirm that the power control unit is powered off. Connecting the power cord
while power is supplied to the power control unit may cause a failure.
To automatically turn on/off the system via the AC-LINK function when a
power cord is connected to an UPS, follow the BIOS configuration instructions
in Chapter 3 to change the internal settings of the server.

WARNING
Your system shipped with four AC power cords. Do not
attempt to modify or use the supplied AC power cords if it is
not the exact type required.
