setup utility to configure the software, see Step 4: Set

Up a Serial Connection to the Array on page 2-26.

If you plan to use the Remote Setup Wizard to configure the software, skip

this step.

The following sections describe the installation steps in detail. After completing

the hardware installation, see Chapter 3, Software Configuration.

Step 1: Connect the Array to Power

The PS6500 array includes three modules that supply both power and cooling. At

least two functioning power supply and cooling modules, connected to a source of

power, are required for array operation.

Note: See Environmental Requirements on page 2-15 for information about

voltage requirements.

Obtain the power cables that were shipped with the array. If the array was not

shipped with power cables, contact your PS Series support provider or reseller for

power cable information.

Note: Dell recommends that you connect the supplied 6 foot (2 m) C113/C14

power cables to the array. They are the correct length to route through the

cable management system, and are designed to connect tightly to the

power supply modules. If necessary, connect the extension 10 foot (3.3 m)

C13/C14 cables or country-specific cables to the ends of the supplied

power cables.

Connect all the power supply and cooling modules to a source of power. Use the

cable strain relief to secure each power cable to the array.

For increased availability, follow these power recommendations:

• Connect the power supply and cooling modules to different power sources on

separate circuits. See Figure 2-11.
