Installation And Configuration
WARNING: Before performing the following procedure, review the safety instructions that came with the blade
server or enclosure.
Unpacking The System
Unpack your blade server or enclosure and identify each item.
Installing The Rails And Enclosure
Figure 1. Installing the Enclosure in the Rack
Assemble the rails and install the enclosure in the rack, following the safety instructions and the rack installation
instructions provided with the enclosure.
Installing A Sleeve In The Enclosure
NOTE: This procedure applies only to PowerEdge M420.
A sleeve includes up to four quarter-height blades to function as a system. Depending on your order, the sleeve may
ship with the blades preinstalled.
CAUTION: Exercise utmost care when installing or removing the sleeve to prevent damage to the internal
components. To ensure protection for the electronic components inside, follow the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
guidelines.

Figure 2. Installing a Sleeve
NOTE: Before you install or remove a sleeve from the enclosure, ensure that the top slot of the sleeve (Blade a) is
empty. You can install a blade in the top slot (Blade a) after you install the sleeve in the enclosure.
Remove the orange cover from the sleeve handle. Slide the sleeve into the enclosure and lift the sleeve handle to the top
position to secure the sleeve in the enclosure.
NOTE: To ensure optimal thermal performance, do not replace the cover on the sleeve handle after the sleeve is
installed in the enclosure. Reinstall the cover only if the sleeve is not installed in the enclosure.
Installing A Quarter-Height Blade In A Sleeve
CAUTION: Install a blade blank in all empty blade slots to maintain proper thermal conditions.
Slide the blade into the sleeve and rotate the blade handle upward to secure the blade in the sleeve.
Figure 3. Installing a Quarter-Height Blade
Installing A Full Or Half-Height Blade
CAUTION: Install a blade blank in all empty blade slots to maintain proper thermal conditions.

Page 5
Figure 4. Installing a Half-Height Blade
NOTE: The above figure shows installation of a half-height blade. The procedure for installing a full-height blade is
identical to installing a half-height blade.
Beginning at the top, slide the blades into the enclosure from left to right. When the blade is securely installed, the blade
handle returns to the closed position.
Connecting The CMC And iKVM Modules
Figure 5. Connecting the Modules
Connect the serial cable and network cable(s) from the management system to the CMC module. If a second optional
CMC module is installed, connect it as well.
Connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the optional iKVM module.

Connecting The System To Power
Figure 6. Connecting Power to the System
Connect the system’s power cables to the system power supplies.
CAUTION: To prevent the power cables from being disconnected accidentally, use the plastic clip on each power
supply to secure the power cable to the power supply, and use the strap to secure the power cable to the strainrelief bar.
CAUTION: For AC power supply, do not plug the power cables directly into a power outlet; you must use a PDU. For
optimal system functionality, a minimum of three power supplies are required.
Plug the other end of the power cables of the AC power supplies into a power distribution unit (PDU). For DC power
supplies, plug the other end of the power cables to a branch-protected DC power source.
NOTE: The power supply units must have the same maximum output power.
NOTE: AC and DC power supplies cannot be mixed in an enclosure.
Turning On The Enclosure
Figure 7. Enclosure Power Button
Press the power button on the enclosure. The power indicator should light.

Turning On The Blades
Figure 8. Turning on a Blade
Press the power button on each blade, or power on the blades using the systems management software.
Complete The Operating System Setup
If you purchased a preinstalled operating system, see the documentation associated with the operating system. To
install an operating system for the first time, see the installation and configuration documentation for your operating
system. Be sure the operating system is installed before installing hardware or software not purchased with the system.
NOTE: See dell.com/ossupport for the latest information on supported operating systems.
Dell Software License Agreement
Before using your system, read the Dell Software License Agreement that came with your system. You must consider
any media of Dell-installed software as BACKUP copies of the software installed on your system’s hard drive. If you do
not accept the terms of the agreement, call the customer assistance telephone number. For customers in the United
States, call 800-WWW-DELL (800-999-3355). For customers outside the United States, visit support.dell.com and select
your country or region from the bottom of the page.
