6 Turn on power

Overview

This chapter describes how to power up the devices in your environment.

Power on the devices

After the EVA and its disk enclosures are installed and connected to the SAN, power up all of the
devices in the SAN and verify that they are operating properly.
1. Apply power to the power distribution unit (PDU) in the rack:
• If the controller enclosure was shipped with the power button in the "on" position, the controller
enclosure and connected disk enclosures will automatically power on. Otherwise, press the
power/standby button on the front panel of the controller enclosure.
• When the controller enclosure is powered on, the LED for the power/standby buttons changes
from amber to solid green.
• Wait for a solid green LED on each disk enclosure to ensure each enclosure has successfully
powered on.
2.
Apply power to each external Fibre Channel switch.
3.
Wait (up to five minutes) for the EVA to complete its startup routine and for the Fibre Channel
switches to boot.
4. Apply power to the servers in the SAN with access to the EVA, start the operating system, and
log on as administrator.
CAUTION:
When you power on the server, the monitor may display a "New Hardware Found" message
and prompt to install an HBA driver. Cancel out of this window to prevent the installation of an
unsupported HBA driver.
5.
Verify that each component in the SAN is operating properly.
