4-4 AlphaServer GS80 Upgrade Manual
4.2 Installing the System Management Console
Before you power up the system, you must install the system manage-
ment console (SMC). Steps to be followed in installing the SMC are
listed below. The procedures to install the SMC are fully detailed in
the AlphaServer GS80/160/320 System Management Console Installation
Guide.
Steps to Install the SMC
1. Set up the SMC PC.
2. Install the SMC terminal server in the GS80 system.
3. Connect the terminal server to the power source.
4. Turn circuit breakers on but keep the keyswitch on Off.
5. Cable the PC to the terminal server and set up parameters.
6. Verify communication from the console to the system control manager.
You are now ready to power up the system.
WARNING: Before you power up the system, inspect the modules
for any visible sign of water condensation on the heatsinks, DC-to-DC
converters, and the CPUs. Due to the large mass of the system,
condensation may occur during transfer from a cold to a warm
environment. Allow time for the condensation to evaporate com-
pletely. DO NOT power the system up if you notice any indication of
condensation.
