"Ready". If the server is turned on and they are not "Ready", the server will not be able to recognize the ETERNUS DX/AF storage systems. Also, when the ETERNUS DX/AF power supply is being controlled by a connected server, make sure that the ETERNUS DX/AF does not shut down before the connected servers. Similarly, the Fibre Channel switches must also be turned off after the connected servers have been shut down. -
