Supply power and power up the system

Dell Force10 Networks recommends re-inspecting your system prior to powering up. Verify that:
• the equipment is properly secured to the rack and properly grounded.

• the ambient temperature around the unit (which may be higher than the room temperature) is within the
limits specified for the Z9000.
• there is sufficient airflow around the unit.
• the input circuits are correctly sized for the loads and that sufficient over-current protection devices are
used.
• all protective covers are in place.
NOTE: A US AC power cable is included in the shipping container for powering up an AC power supply. All
other power cables must be ordered separately
WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an
ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the Z9000 and its components.
