Connecting controller power cables and powering on

Prerequisites
Connect the power cables to power on the disk shelves before powering on the controller.
Steps
1. Connect the power supply units to the rack.

source to fail or be serviced without impacting system operation. Connect PSU 0 to one AC source, and PSU
1 to the other AC source.
The system may not power on automatically after plugging in the AC power cords. The system identification button located
on the rear of the chassis, on the lower left-hand side illuminates blue when power is on.
2. If the system does not power on automatically after connecting the power cables, press the power button on the right
control panel at the front of the chassis to power on the system .
