Dell PowerEdge R905: Connecting the System and Monitor Power Cables

The connectors on the back of your system have icons indicating which cable

to plug into each connector. Be sure to tighten the screws (if any) on the

monitor's cable connector.

NOTE: If you simultaneously connect two monitors to the system, using the front

and back video connections, the video will default to the front since only one

display can operate at a time.

Connecting the System and Monitor Power Cables

Connect the monitor's power cable to the monitor (optional). Connect the

system’s power cables to the system.

Plug the other end of the power cables into a grounded electrical outlet or

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

power distribution unit (PDU). If possible, connect the power supplies to two

different 110V power sources or two different 220V power sources, depending

on the power sources used.
