Turning On Housekeeping Power and Logging In to the MP After connecting the serial display device, the power to the server cabinet is ready to be supplied to get a login prompt for the MP. Connecting the power cords allows power to flow to the BPS located at the front of the server cabinet, which in turn provides housekeeping power (HKP). Before powering up the server cabinet for the first time: 1. Verify that the AC voltage at the input source is within specifications for each server cabinet being installed. 2. If not already done, power on the serial display device. The preferred tool is the CE Tool running Reflection 1. To power on the MP, set up a communications link, and log in to the MP: Chapter 2 63
