Dell PowerEdge M710: Connecting the System to Power

Connecting the System to Power: Dell PowerEdge M710

Connecting the System to Power

Connect the system’s power cables to the system power supplies.

CAUTION: To prevent the power cables from being disconnected accidentally,

use the plastic clip on each power supply to secure the power cable to the

power supply, and use the Velcro strap to secure the cable to the strain-relief bar.

Plug the other end of the power cables into a power distribution unit (PDU).

CAUTION: Do not plug the power cables directly into a power outlet; you must

use a PDU. For optimal system functionality, a minimum of three power supplies

are required.
