WARNING:

To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:

Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety

feature.

Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all

times.

Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.

Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against it.

Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends from

the server.

Powering up the chassis

Connect the AC or DC power cables, depending on the power configuration.
When the circuit breakers are powered, the chassis and HP ProLiant SL Advanced Power Manager have

Manager for any errors which may prevent installed components from powering up.
