Dell PowerEdge M630 Owner's Manual

Setting up your system

Complete the following steps to set up your system:

1. Unpack the blade.
2. Remove the I/O connector cover from the blade connectors.
   CAUTION: While installing the blade, ensure that it is properly aligned with the slot on the enclosure to prevent damage to the blade connectors.
3. Install the blade in the enclosure.
4. Turn on the enclosure.
   NOTE: Wait for the chassis to initialize before you press the power button.
5. Turn on the blade by pressing the power button on the blade.
   Alternatively, you can also turn on the blade by using:

   • The blade iDRAC. For more information, see the Log in to iDRAC section.

   • The enclosure Chassis Management Controller (CMC), after the blade iDRAC is configured on the CMC. For more information, see the CMC User’s Guide at Dell.com/idracmanuals.
