There is no power on/standby button. Power flows to the enclosure immediately upon connecting to a live power
source. Once power is applied to the power supplies, the enclosure starts running. Verify that the Power On LED turns
solid green indicating the enclosure is operating properly.
2. Wait a few minutes for the disk enclosures to complete their startup routines.
If power is applied to the server before the disk enclosures complete their startup routine, the server might not

window to prevent the installation of unsupported software.
5. Verify that each component is operating properly.
