Precautions for powering on the storage system

To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment, follow these precautions.
CAUTION:
• Do not disable the power cable grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety
feature.
• Plug the power cable into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all
times.
• Do not route the power cable where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against it.
Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cable extends from
the storage system.
• Verify that there is clear access to all components for servicing by tying all power cables to
restrain them behind the rack column.
• To avoid potential damage to equipment, do not adjust the positioning of the rack after powering
on the HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage.

Checking AC power cable connections

A factory-integrated storage system arrives with all internal power cables configured and connected.
Procedure
1. Ensure that the alternating-current (AC) power cables are properly configured and connected to the
components.
2. Ensure that the cable locks and cable ties on the AC power cables are properly connected on the
power distribution units (PDUs) and power supplies.
3. Ensure that all of the power cables are properly secured with restraints.
