6 Installing Cables
This section describes how to connect cables. Mark the cables according to the local requirements.
6.1 Connecting Control Cables
Two or three switches are used for the control network. If two switches are used, the iDRAC network is divided between the two control switches. When three switches are used, the iDRAC network is handled by the third switch. In this document, connections using two switches are described.
Connect cables for control network between the units according to the following information.
6.1.1 Control Switch to Dell PowerEdge Servers Cables
The connection of cables for the control network depends on the number of ports available in the X440 control switch. In this example, an X440-24t unit was used. An option is to use the X440-48t with the same configuration settings. The connections for both variants are identical and are described in the tables below.
For other configurations, ensure that the following ports are allocated in the control network switches:
- One port for LXC / laptop
- One port for X670V
- Two ports for interconnection between the two control switches
- One port for management
- One port for external storage, optional
- The remaining ports can be allocated to servers. One port is needed for the control network and one for iDRAC. The iDRAC network is divided between the two control switches (SWA and SWB), but can also be handled by a separate switch.
The connector orientation is shown on fig-connector-orientation Figure 6, and the control cabling for a configuration consisting of eight Dell PowerEdge servers is described in Table 5.

6.4 Connecting Power Cables
Connect the AC power cables from the distribution power outlets in the cabinet to the power inlet connectors on the units, as follows:
Improper electrical installation can cause fire or electric shock that is likely to be fatal. Only a qualified and authorized electrician is permitted to install or modify electrical installations.
- Dell Power Edge Blade (two cables per blade) to the cabinet AC power distribution bar. The supplied cables have three flat pins in the AC power distribution bar end. C13 cables must be used.
- Extreme X440 switches (one per switch, two switches) to the cabinet AC power distribution bar. C13 cables must be used.
- Redundant power supply for Extreme X440 switches (one per system) to the cabinet AC power distribution bar. A C13 cable must be used.
- Extreme X670 switches (two per switch, two switches) to the cabinet AC power distribution bar. C13 cables must be used.
7 Powering On
This section describes how to power on the system.
- Make sure all units and fuses on the Power Distribution Units (PDU) are switched off.
- Switch on the AC power outside the cabinet.
- Switch on the fuses for the traffic switches on the PDU and switch on the AC power switch of each traffic switch.
- Switch on the fuses for the servers and switch on the AC power switch of each server.
- Check that the indicators are on for all units in the cabinet. Refer to the instructions supplied with each unit for information about the interpretation of the indicators.
- Report any findings to the implementation project.
8 Post Installation Activities
8.1 Concluding Routines
Before leaving the site, perform the following procedure:
- Clean the site and remove objects such as wrapping paper and cable clippings.
- Dispose of any waste in accordance with local regulations.
- Fill in the verification checklist in the Site Installation Documentation.
- Report any faults according to local requirements.
- Lock the cabinets, if applicable.
- Hand over the Site Installation Documentation to the person responsible for the site.
- Lock all doors and gates to the site.
- Report to the implementation project that the hardware installation is complete and that the system is ready for the installation of the software.
Ericsson strongly recommends to pay attention to the environment when cleaning the site after installation. In particular, recycle all waste that can be recycled, and sort the rest so that they can be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
