Cabling and Power Up Voltage Check Voltage Check This section provides voltage check information for use on the customer site. The emphasis focuses on measuring the voltages at the power cord plug end specified as an IEC-320 C19 type plug. This is the end that plugs directly into the back of the Server Expansion Unit chassis. NOTE Chapter 4 These procedures must be performed for each power cord that will be plugged directly into the back of the Server Expansion Unit.
Cabling and Power Up Voltage Check Voltage Range Verification of Receptacle This measures the voltage between L1 and L2, L1 to ground, and L2 to ground. Three separate measurements are performed during this procedure. Refer to Figure 4-35 for voltage reference points when performing the following measurements.
Cabling and Power Up Voltage Check Safety Ground Verification This measures the voltage level between B0 and A0. The measurement is taken between ground pins of the two power cords. Refer to Figure 4-36 for ground reference points when performing this measurement. Figure 4-36 Safety Ground Reference Check V Step 1 GND L1 GND L2 B0 L1 L2 A0 Step 1. Measure the voltage between B0 and A0. Take the AC voltage down to the lowest scale on the volt meter. Step 2.
Cabling and Power Up Voltage Check (Additional Procedure) Voltage Check (Additional Procedure) The voltage check ensures that all phases (and neutral, for international systems) are connected correctly to the cabinet and that the AC input voltage is within limits. This procedure must be performed if the previous voltage check procedure did not yield the expected results as previously outlined.
Cabling and Power Up Voltage Check (Additional Procedure) WARNING Do not set site AC circuit breakers serving the processor cabinets to ON before verifying that the cabinet has been wired into the site AC power supply correctly. Failure to do so may result in injury to personnel or damage to equipment when AC power is applied to the cabinet. Step 9. Set the site power circuit breaker to ON . Step 10. Set the server power to ON. Step 11. Check that the indicator light on each power supply is lit.
Cabling and Power Up Connecting AC Input Power Connecting AC Input Power The Server Expansion Unit has two line cord configurations: • The preferred configuration is line cords B0 and A0 plugged into the Server Expansion Unit. This configuration provides power supply redundancy when each power cord is plugged into a different power source. • The other configuration is line cord A0 plugged into the Server Expansion Unit.
Cabling and Power Up Connecting AC Input Power If two separate power sources are available, the two power supplies can be plugged into the separate power sources, increasing system reliability should one power source fail. The AC input for power receptacle A0 connects to both BPS 0 and BPS 1. The AC input for power receptacle B0 connects to both BPS 0 and BPS 1. Refer to Figure 4-39 for details.
Cabling and Power Up MP Core I/O Connections MP Core I/O Connections Each Server Expansion Unit has two core I/O cards installed and each core I/O card has a management processor (MP). This allows two partitions to operate, or allows for MP core I/O redundancy in a single partition configuration. Each MP core I/O board is oriented horizontally and accessed from the back of the server.
Cabling and Power Up MP Core I/O Connections Management Processor Access NOTE This procedure for accessing the MP LAN refers to the core I/O card installed in the server. Direct access to the MP LAN port on either core I/O card in the Server Expansion Unit is not possible. The following procedure allows direct access to the management processor (MP) LAN port on the core I/O card installed in the server. You will be able to telnet directly from your laptop to the MP.
Cabling and Power Up MP Core I/O Connections Standby Power and Logging in to the MP Housekeeping power (also known as standby power) is generated as soon as AC power is applied to the server. Because the MP uses standby power, it is possible to login to the server MP even when the power switch is in the OFF position. The power switch is a DC power switch that controls +48V DC. NOTE Connection to the MP is performed through the core I/O card installed in the server. 1.
