The cable on the left route through the upper CMA, and the cable on the right route through the lower CMA.

NOTE:

Limit the amount of slack between the enclosure and the CMA. Any excess cable should be routed outside of the

CMA and bundled neatly when cabling is complete.

4. Connect the other end of the power cables to the power sources.

5. Verify that the AC Input and DC Output LED on the PSU are lit green. If not, see

Verify connections

Use iDRAC or PowerTools SHM CLI to verify that the enclosures are connected to your system.

● To use iDRAC, go to the Storage>Enclosures view and verify that the enclosure is listed. See the Integrated Dell Remote

Access Controller User's Guide for details about using iDRAC.

● To use PowerTools SHM CLI, run the following command:

shmcli list physical enclosures

See the Dell Storage PowerTools Server Hardware Manager Administrator's Guide for details about using these commands.

If you are connecting the MD24 Series enclosure to the host through a SAS HBA, configure MPIO on the host to direct I/O

through the redundant cabling.

NOTE:

If you are connecting to the host through a PERC adapter, you do not need to configure MPIO.

When connecting to the host using a SAS adapter, follow these steps to configure MPIO.

Steps

1. In the Server Manager Tools menu, select MPIO.

2. Select the Discover Multi-Paths tab.

3. Select Add support for SAS, and then click OK.

4. When prompted, reboot the system.

When the reboot is complete, MPIO is ready to use.
