Connecting the Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse
CAUTION:
UNPLUG THE SERVER. Before connecting external devices, make sure
the server is not plugged in, or equipment could be damaged.
Before turning on the server, you must connect these devices to the back of the cc2300 server.
1. Connect a video monitor to the video port (C in Figure 3 ).
2. Connect a keyboard and a mouse to the PS/2 y-cable shipped with the server. (Figure 3).
Applying Power for the First Time
WARNING
The DC power source may produce hazardous voltage levels exceeding
–72 VDC and high energy levels above 240VA that may cause electric
shock or burns. All DC input connections should be made only by a
qualified service person only to prevent injury. All wiring terminals
connected to the DC input terminal block must be fully insulated with no
exposed bare metal.
The first time you turn the server on you need to enter the BIOS Setup Utility and set the correct
date and time values. After setting these values the server executes its Power-On Self-Test (POST)
sequence and passes control to the Boot Manager.
For information on the Boot Manager, refer to the cc2300 Carrier Grade Server Product Guide.
Follow these steps to power up the cc2300 server for the first time:
1. Make sure all external devices, such as a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, have been connected.
2. Plug in the AC power cord or connect the DC power wiring to the back of the chassis (L in
Figure 3).
3. Plug the male ends of the server AC power cords into wall outlets (grounded, three-pronged
AC power outlets) or rack power distribution units.
4. Turn on the video monitor.
5. Press the Power button on the front panel (B in Figure 2). Pressing this button causes the server
fans to start up and POST to begin.
6. When POST displays the message: “Hit <F2> if you want to run SETUP,” enter <F2> and the
system will enter the BIOS Setup Utility. (If you see a prompt asking for a system password,
pressing the <ENTER> key will get you directly to the BIOS Setup Utility.)
NOTE
For information on how to use the BIOS Setup Utility, see the cc2300
Carrier Grade Server Product Guide.
