Power up
Observe the following guidelines before powering up the SB40c:
• Install hard drives in the SB40c so the partner server blade can identify and configure them at power
up.
• Be sure that the SB40c is installed as shown in the installation guidelines (on page 11 ).
• Be sure that the partner server blade is powered down.
To power up the SB40c:
1. Install the SB40c (" Installing a storage blade " on page 12 ). The system health LED flashes amber.
2. Power up the partner server blade. See the server blade documentation.
3. Observe the SB40c system health LED. When the SB40c is recognized, the system health LED
illuminates solid green.
Power down
In systems that use the SB40c as external data storage, be sure that the partner server blade is the first
unit to be powered down and the last to be powered back up. Taking this precaution ensures that the
system and the OS are shut down in an orderly manner.
IMPORTANT: If installing a hot-plug device, it is not necessary to power down the SB40c.
To power down the SB40c, power down the partner server blade. See the server blade documentation.
