6.1 Connect the Appliance to the Power Source

Location: part 2, page 3, pane 6

Pane 6 describes how to properly supply power to the Oracle PCA.

Steps:

  1. Review the safety guidelines. Refer to the section "Review Safety Guidelines" in the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance Installation Guide.

  2. Visually inspect the appliance.

    • Check the rack for damage and loose or missing screws.

    • Check that cables are securely connected.

    • Verify that power cables with appropriate connectors for your power source have been supplied.

    • Check the floor tile arrangement for cable access and airflow.

    • Check the airflow that leads in to the front of the system. (See Verify Installation Requirements.)

  3. Connect the power cords.

    • Open the rear door.

    • Remove the cable ties from the power cords.

    • Route the power cords to the facility receptacles either above the rack or below the flooring.

      An image illustrates both cabling options. It shows a rack with power cables routed through the top, and a rack with power cables routed through the data center floor. A detail bubble in the center shows how power cords are secured in bundles.

    • Secure the power cords in bundles.

    • Plug the power distribution unit (PDU) power cords into the facility receptacles.
