Chapter 2 Setting Up the System 25
2. Set up the system in an appropriate environment.
The Sun Fire V890 server can be installed as a deskside or a rackmounted system. If
you are installing the system in a rack, follow the instructions in the Sun Fire V890
Server Rackmounting Guide, which is available at
http://www.sun.com/documentation.
Note – Do not install optional equipment into a system that you are rackmounting
until after you have installed the system into the rack.
If you are installing your server as a deskside system and need information about
positioning the system in an appropriate environment, see the Site Planning Guide for
Entry-Level Servers, which is included on the Sun Fire V890 Documentation CD.
3. Connect an AC power cord to each AC inlet at the back of each power supply.
Connect the opposite end of each power cord to a grounded, dedicated AC power
outlet.
Use the power cord supplied with the V890 server. The V890 server uses 200-240
VAC line input only.
Note – You must connect each power supply to a dedicated AC circuit. Consult
your local electrical codes for any additional requirements.
4. Attach a strain relief to each AC power cord.
The strain relief is a plastic tie-wrap and pedestal that is inserted into the rear panel
of the server. Use these reliefs to manage the power cords after you have installed
the cords into the AC inlets in the server.
To use a strain relief, press the tab to release the tie-wrap. Wrap the loose end of the
tie-wrap around the AC power cord and thread the tie-wrap through the opening in
the relief pedestal. Pull up the end of the tie-wrap to tighten it.
