Power cabling Your server uses two power cords that can be connected to a primary power unit inside the rack cabinet, such as a properly grounded power distribution unit or uninterruptible power supply, or to an external source, such as a properly grounded electrical outlet. Complete the following steps to attach the power-supply cords: 1. Connect a power-supply cord to one of the system power connectors on the rear of the server. 2. Connect the other end of the power-supply cord to a properly grounded electrical outlet or to a primary power unit inside the rack cabinet. Note: Connecting the power-supply cords to an electrical outlet might cause the server to start automatically. This is an acceptable action. See "Turning on the server" on page 56 for detailed information about turning on the server. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the second cable. Note: The server requires a 220 V ac power connection for full power-supply redundancy. Whenever possible, use a 220 V ac connection for all configurations. However, you can use a 110 V ac connection, but without full power-supply redundancy. SCSI cabling You can use the SCSI connector on the back of the server to attach an optional SCSI device, such as one of the IBM external storage enclosures, to the server. For detailed information about how to connect a SCSI device to your server, see the documentation that comes with the SCSI device. USB cabling Your server has three USB connectors, one on the front and two on the back of the server. You can use these connectors to attach an optional USB device to the server. For detailed information about how to connect a USB device to your server, see the documentation that comes with the USB device. Video cabling You can use the video connector on the back of the server to attach a monitor or optional console switch to the server. For detailed information about how to connect a monitor or optional console switch to your server, see the documentation that comes with the optional device. Important: If your server has a Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA installed, the integrated video controller on your server is disabled. You must connect a monitor or console switch to the video port on the adapter. Mouse cabling You can use the mouse connector on the back of the server to attach a mouse to the server. For detailed information about how to connect a mouse to your server, see the documentation that comes with the mouse. 48 xSeries 445 Type 8870: Installation Guide

to
a
primary
power
unit
inside
the
rack
cabinet,
such
as
a
properly
grounded
power
distribution
unit
or
uninterruptible
power
supply,
or
to
an
external
source,
such
as
a
properly
grounded
electrical
outlet.
Complete
the
following
steps
to
