2. Connect the other end of the RS-232 cable to the CE Tool.

Turning On Housekeeping Power and Logging in to the MP

After connecting the serial display device, the power to the server cabinet is ready to be supplied to get a login

prompt for the management processor (MP). Connecting the power cords allows power to flow to the bulk

power supplies (BPS) located at the front of the server cabinet, which in turn provides housekeeping power

(HKP).

Before powering up the server cabinet for the first time:

1. Verify that the AC voltage at the input source is within specifications for each server cabinet being

installed.

2. If not already done, power on the serial display device.
