Connecting Power Cords to the Server

Use this procedure to connect power cords to the server. When the power cords are connected, the server will be in standby power mode.


Note - By default, only a two-CPU system will operate from low-line (100 to 127 Volt) AC sources. The system requires high-line (200 to 240 Volt) AC sources to turn on main power of a four-CPU system.


Connect the Power Cords

  1. Connect two grounded server power cords to grounded electrical outlets.
  2. Connect the two server power cords to the AC connectors on the back panel of the server (Back Panel Connectors and Ports [1, 2]).

    When power is connected, the server boots into standby power mode. The SP OK/Fault LED flashes while Oracle ILOM is starting, and the main Power/OK LED remains off until Oracle ILOM is ready for system log in (Front Panel Indicators and Power Button). After a few minutes, the main Power/OK LED slowly flashes the standby pattern, indicating the service processor (SP) is working. Note that the server is not initialized or powered on yet.
