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. Using wire cutters, clip and remove the orange plastic ties that secure the power supplies to the
shipping bracket.
2. Remove the four screws that secure the shipping bracket to the chassis. Store the shipping bracket if
you want to move your system at a later date.
3. Gently push the power supplies into the system chassis until they lock into place.
4. Cable the server.
a. Plug the power cords into the power supplies (A). See Figure 21.
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 (B), as shown in Figure 21.

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.
