Connect power to the DPE
Prerequisites
All components must be racked and the network cabling completed before connecting the storage system to power and booting
the system.
Steps
1. Verify that the cabinet circuit breakers are in the On position and that power is connected to the cabinet.
NOTE:
No power cables should be connected to the PDUs at this time.
2. Attach a double-sided Shut Down Procedure cable label to each power cable using the tie wraps included in the Accessory
Kit.
NOTE:
Attach each label close to the end of the power cable where it plugs into the DPE.
3. Plug each DPE power cable into each SP assembly's power supply unit.
The power cable to SP assembly A is gray. The power cable to SP assembly B is black.
4. Secure each power cable to the system component with the cable retention bail on the power supply unit.
5. Connect the DPE to the power distribution unit as follows:
a. Connect the power supply for SP assembly A, shown in gray, to PDU A .
b. Connect the power supply for SP assembly B, shown in black, to PDU B.

7. If your storage system has been installed in a cabinet, place the single-sided adhesive backed Shut Down Procedure label
included in the Accessory Kit on the back of the cabinet door. Otherwise, place this label in a location that is visible while
viewing the storage system from the rear.
8. Monitor the system as it powers up. It takes approximately 10-15 minutes for the system to power up. The LEDs show the
progress of system activation. Green, blue, and amber activity lights blink during the startup sequence. Review the next
section for information on the power up states.
