for a NetBackup 5330 high availability configuration (continued)
Step Description
12 If you want to connect one or more expansion shelves to existing expansion shelves:
Connect two new SAS cables between the two expansion shelves. Then, disconnect
one end of two SAS cables from the existing expansion shelf and connect them to
a new expansion shelf.
See "Connecting new expansion shelves to existing expansion shelves and an
existing primary shelf"
13 Connect the Power Distribution Unit (PDU) cords between the nodes and the power
distribution outlets in the rack.
See "Connecting the power cords to the hardware"
14 Connect the Power Distribution Unit (PDU) cords between each storage shelf and
the power distribution outlets in the rack. The storage shelves require 220 VAC.
See "Connecting the power cords to the hardware"
15 Turn on power to the storage shelves and the nodes. Be sure to use the correct
sequence.
See "Turning on the hardware and verifying operation"

The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (or IPMI) provides management and
monitoring capabilities independently of the host system's CPU, firmware, and
operating system. You can configure the IPMI sub-system for your appliances. You
can use the remote management port, located on the rear panel of the appliance,
to connect to the IPMI sub-system.
The following figure shows the remote management port (or the IPMI port) on the
rear panel of a NetBackup 5330 appliance:
