Power up the storage system
Observe the following guidelines before powering up the storage system:
• Be sure that all components are powered down.
• Always install all components of the storage system and connect components
to the supported interconnect options.
• Install hard drives in the storage system so the controller can identify and
configure them at power up.
CAUTION: You must power up the storage system before
powering up the servers. It may take up to 2 minutes for the storage
system to completely power up. Wait until the display provides the
Startup Complete message.
To power up the storage system:
1. Complete server hardware installation and cabling. Refer to the server
documentation.
2. Connect the SCSI cables and power cords to the storage system.
3. Press the Power On/Standby button.
Wait and observe the system power LED and controller display. When the
storage system goes from standby to full power, the system power LED
illuminates solid green, and the display provides a
Startup Complete
message.
4. Power up the servers. Refer to the server documentation.
