Connecting the power cords
__ If your workstation is equipped with a retention bracket, route the power cord under the bracket before
you plug it into the back of the workstation. See the following figure as an example:
__ Plug the power cords into the system, display, and attached devices.
Starting your workstation
__ Power the system on (see Powering the system on and off).
Note: Expect a delay between the time when power is applied to the server or workstation and when 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 will leave the control panel blank for up to two minutes. Wait until the C1XX
XXXX progress codes are completed and 01 is displayed on the control panel before you perform an IPL or
change control panel functions.
After you finish
_ Return to your initial setup checklist and complete the next step.
