IBM Power E1050, Manual

c. If your system uses a power distribution unit (PDU), complete the following steps:

i) Connect the system power cords from the server and I/O drawers to the PDU with an IEC 320

type receptacle.

ii) Attach the PDU input power cord and plug it into the power source.

iii) If your system uses two PDUs for redundancy, complete the following steps:

• If your system has two power supplies, attach one power supply to each of the two PDUs.
• If your system has four power supplies, plug E0 and E1 to PDU A and E2 and E3 to PDU B.
Note: Confirm that the system is in standby mode. The green power status indicator on the front

control panel is flashing, and the dc out indicator lights on the power supplies are flashing. If

none of the indicators are flashing, check the power cord connections.

Completing the server setup

Learn about the tasks you must complete to set up your managed system.
Select from the following options:
• “Completing the server setup by using an HMC with DHCP ” on page 12
• “Completing the server setup without using the HMC” on page 14

Completing the server setup using an HMC

Perform these tasks to complete the server setup by using an HMC.

Completing the server setup by using an HMC with DHCP

Perform these tasks to complete the server setup by using an HMC that uses a DHCP network

configuration.

About this task

Note: Before you continue with this step, ensure that you have removed the orange system-to-rail locking

clips on each slide rail and pushed the system into the rack.

 Power Systems servers use a enterprise baseboard management controller (eBMC) for system

service management, monitoring, maintenance, and control. The eBMC also provides access to the

system event log files (SEL). The eBMC is a specialized service processor that monitors the physical

state of the system by using sensors. A system administrator or service representative can communicate

with the eBMC through an independent connection.
Important: Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is disabled by default on your system.

Inherent security vulnerabilities are associated with using the IPMI. Consider using Redfish APIs or the

GUI to manage your system. You must enable the IPMI and authorize the user before you can use the

service.
Note: To manage your system using the eBMC using your HMC, your HMC must be at Version 10 Release 1

Service Pack 1020, or later.
To access the eBMC by using your HMC, complete the following steps:

Procedure

1. Attach one end of the system power supply cable to a power source.

Note: No not apply power at this time.

2. Identify the port on the HMC that is enabled as a DHCP server and connect the new system it to the

managed system network.
