Step 5: Powering On the Equipment
After the power cables are connected, you are ready to power on the equipment.
IMPORTANT: Before powering on the servers, review Table 1: Factory System Settings to learn about
the factory system settings for specific cluster components that are pre-configured before the HPC
cluster is shpped to the customer.
1. Turn on each Extension Bar breaker switch.
2. Check to see that the servers come up to a standby state.
3. Check the switches to see that they have powered up. Some switches have a separate
on/off switch while others power up immediately when power is applied.
4. Verify that the TFT5600 keyboard/monitor/mouse unit has powered up.
5. If any of the above components do not power up or come up to a standby condition,
check the power switches to make sure they are On and check the power cords to ensure
that they did not come loose during shipping.
