• The Baseboard Management Controller documentation provides detailed information on using the BMC. • The Dell OpenManage Server Assistant User's Guide provides detailed information on the systems management software applications, as well as information on alternative upgrade paths. • The network switch module documentation describes the features and how to use the network switch modules. • Systems management software documentation describes the features, requirements, installation, and basic operation of the software. • Operating system documentation describes how to install (if necessary), configure, and use the operating system software. • Documentation for any components you purchased separately provides information to configure and install these options. • Updates are sometimes included with the system to describe changes to the system, software, and/or documentation. NOTE: Always check for updates on support.dell.com and read the updates first because they often supersede information in other documents. • Release notes or readme files may be included to provide last-minute updates to the system or documentation or advanced technical reference material intended for experienced users or technicians. Initial Setup 1 Unpack the system and install it in a rack. See the Getting Started Guide and Rack Installation Guide for more information. 2 Connect power to the power supplies. NOTE: You should power up the enclosure prior to inserting server modules if Ethernet switch modules are installed. The Ethernet switch may take longer to boot than the server modules, which may cause functions like PXE to fail due to the Ethernet switch not being fully booted and ready to send packets. 3 Connect the keyboard, video, and mouse to the KVM module. Figure 1-3 shows the basic cabling configuration for a KVM module. General System Configuration 7
