Complete this task to connect the power cords. You can connect
the power cords to a primary power unit inside the rack, such as a properly
grounded ac distribution unit, or to an external source, such as a properly
grounded electrical outlet.
Each server or expansion enclosure uses two standard power cords.
To
connect the power cords, perform the following steps:
- If you have not already done so, attach the power cords to the
server and expansion enclosures. Figure 1 shows the power cord locations.

- Connect the other end of the right server enclosure power cord
to a power supply, by plugging it into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
- Connect the other end of the left server enclosure power cord to
a power supply, by plugging it into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
To maintain power redundancy, plug it into a separate independent external
power circuit.
- If you have expansion enclosures, repeat the above steps for each
expansion enclosure. Remember to plug the right and left power supplies expansion
enclosures into the same two independent external power circuits.
