6 Powering On the Storage System
Power-On procedure
6a
Follow basic rules for the system power-on sequence:
•If the system includes disk bays, they must be powered on before the system bays.
•System bays must be powered on in ascending order from system bay 0 to system bay n.
•In a scenario with multiple controllers, all the controllers must be powered on with three minutes.
To avoid electric shocks, do not wear an ESD wrist strap when the storage system is powering on.
To avoid device damage, ensure that the devices are correctly grounded before the storage system is
connected to power source.
Scenario 1: powering on a storage system with
European standard PDUs
No matter what type of PDU is used, the system power-on process takes 5 to 10 minutes.
1. Turn on switches B1
and B2 of all disk bays
in any sequence.
2. Turn on switches B2
and then B1 of system
bay 0.
3. Repeat the previous
step for remaining
system bays.
Scenario 2: powering on a storage system with
North American standard PDUs
17
1. Turn on switches B1,
B2, and B3 of all disk
bays in any sequence.
2. Turn on switches B1,
B3, and then B2 of
system bay 0.
3. Repeat the previous
step for remaining
system bays.
