Powering On the Server

DIMMs, PCI cards, optical drives, or hard drives, install those components before
you power on the server. If you are not installing optional components, you are
ready to power on the server.

1. Ensure that a grounded AC power cord is connected to the AC power connector on

the back of the server and into an AC power outlet. See
