be standard 3-wire AC power cords including a safety ground and rated for 15A or higher.
Step 1. Plug in the first power cable.
Step 2. Plug in the second power cable.
Step 3. Wait for the System Status LED to turn green.
Step 4. Check the System Status LEDs and confirm that all of the LEDs show status lights consistent
with normal operation (initially flashing, and then moving to a steady color) as shown in
Figure 27 below. For more information, refer to “LEDs”.
Figure 27: System Status LEDs 5 Minutes After Power On
The system platform will automatically power on when AC power is applied. There is
no power system. Check all boards, power supplies, and fan tray modules for proper
insertion before plugging in a power cable.
It may take up to five minutes to turn on the system. If the System Status LED shows
red after five minutes, unplug the system and call your Mellanox representative for
assistance.
