Server Startup and Power Supply Control Notes

3.5 Server Startup and Power Supply Control Notes
Before turning the server on, check that the ETERNUS DX/AF storage systems and Fibre Channel switches are
all "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. If turned off, data writes from the run-
ning server cannot be saved to the ETERNUS DX/AF storage systems, and already saved data may also be
affected.
