Connecting the Power

Connect the system’s power cable(s) to the system (a redundant system is 

shown in the illustration). For redundant systems, secure the cables with the 

two Velcro straps that ship with your system, as shown. For non-redundant 

systems, attach the power cord retention bracket that ships with your system.

Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded electrical outlet or a separate 

power source such as an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) or a power 

distribution unit (PDU).

Turning on the System

Turn on the system and monitor (optional).
