Routing the cables through the cable-management arm
__ Is your server installed in a rack?
v No. Proceed to the next section, Starting your server.
v Yes. Do the following:
__ Place the rack-mounted system in the service position. For instructions, see Place the rack-mounted system
or expansion unit in the service position.
__ Route the cables through the hooks that are located along the cable-management arm and secure them with
the straps that are provided, as shown here:
__ After attaching the cables to the cable-management arm, go to the front of the rack and move the system
drawer in and out. Observe the cables and cable-management-arm movement to verify that the cables are
not binding.
Starting your server
__ Power the system on.
Note: Expect a delay between the time that the power is applied to the server or workstation and the time that
an initial program load (IPL) can be performed. When power is initially applied to the server or workstation, the
service processor performs a self-check and leaves the control panel blank for up to two minutes. You must wait
until the C1XX XXXX progress codes are complete and the control panel displays 01 before you perform an IPL or
change the control panel functions.
