Removing the shipping bracket and connecting power cords and
power distribution unit (PDU) for your preinstalled server
You must remove the shipping bracket and cable ties before cabling the server.
To remove the shipping bracket and cable ties, complete the following steps:
1. Remove the two screws that secure the shipping bracket to the chassis, as shown in Figure 21.
Store the shipping bracket if you want to move your system at a later date.
2. Cable the server.
a. Plug the power cords into the power supplies.
b. Route the power cords and other cables on the cable-management arm.
c. Secure the cord and cables with cable ties or hook-and-loop fasteners.
d. If you have a disk drive enclosure or expansion drawer that came preinstalled in this rack, use the
documentation supplied with these options. For information about connecting enclosures and
expansion units, see Enclosures and expansion units (http://www.ibm.com/support/
knowledgecenter/POWER8/p8ham/p8ham_kickoff.htm).
e. Attach the PDU input power cord and plug it into the power source.
Note: If you are using redundant PDUs, verify that each of the power supplies are cabled and
configured for redundancy.
3. If you ordered a fully-populated system, there are additional tasks you must perform so that you can
access the line cord. To access the line cord on a fully-populated system, perform the following tasks:
a. From the front of the system, pull the system out 3-4 inches.
b. From the rear of the rack, loosen (but don't remove) the head screws (1). See Figure 22 on page 29.
c. Pull the cable management arm bracket toward you (2). See Figure 22 on page 29.
