After you install all hardware components, you must power
on the system and check its status.
Attention: Do not power on the
system with any open bays or slots.
- Every unused drive bay must be occupied by a filler panel.
- Filler panels must be installed in all empty host interface adapter slots.
Open bays or slots disrupt the internal air flow, causing the
drives to receive insufficient cooling.
To power on the system, complete the following steps.
- Power on all
expansion enclosures. Use the supplied power cords
to connect both power supply units of the enclosure to their power
sources.
If the power sources have circuit breakers or switches, ensure
that they are turned on. The enclosure does not have power switches.
Repeat this step for each expansion enclosure in the system.
Note: Each enclosure has two power supply
units. To provide power failure redundancy, connect the two power
cords to separate power circuits.
- From the rear
of the expansion enclosure, check the LEDs on each expansion canister
(see Figure 1).
Figure 1. Expansion canister LEDs
The canister is ready with no critical errors
when Power is illuminated, Status is
on, and Fault is off. If a canister is not ready, .
- Wait for all
expansion canisters to finish powering on.
- Power on the control enclosure. Use the
supplied power cords to connect both power supply units of the enclosure
to their power sources.
If the power sources have circuit breakers or switches, ensure
that they are turned on. The enclosure does not have power switches.
Note: Each enclosure has two power supply
units. To provide power failure redundancy, connect the two power
cords to separate power circuits.
- From the rear of the control enclosure, check
the LEDs on each node canister (see Figure 2).
