Attach the power cords and other cables to the rear of the BladeCenter T unit. (For details about
connecting the dc-power cables, see the BladeCenter T Types 8720 and 8730 Installation and User’s Guide.) If
installing Type 8720, route the power cables through the cable ties on the dc-power cover1; then, route
all the cables as shown in the illustration.
Use the cable ties on the rear of the chassis2and any additional cable ties and cable straps to secure the
cables together and to the rear shelf brackets.
Notes:
1. Allow slack in all cables to avoid tension in the cables and to allow you to remove adjacent modules
without uncabling the BladeCenter T unit.
2. As you route the cables to the rack flanges or adapter brackets, avoid covering or shielding the
blowers’ airflow exhaust areas3.
System power redundancy: To maintain power redundancy at the system level, connect the power
modules as follows:
Note: See ″Rack Safety Information, Statement 9″ prior to connecting the power module power cords to
power sources.
v Connect the power modules in bay 1 (and bay 3 if applicable) to one building power source or service
entrance.
v Connect the power modules in bay 2 (and bay 4 if applicable) to a separate building power source or
service entrance.

Notes:
1. Make sure the release levers on the blade servers are in the open position2before you slide them
into the BladeCenter T unit.
2. If the unit was preconfigured, make sure to reinstall each blade server into the same bay from which
it was removed.
