Powering on the system
After you install all the hardware components, you must power on the system and check its status.
Attention: Do not power on the system with any open bays or slots. Open bays or slots disrupt the
internal air flow, causing the drives to receive insufficient cooling.
• Every unused drive bay must be occupied by a filler panel.
• Filler panels must be installed in all empty host interface adapter slots.
Use the supplied power cords mentioned in Table 4 on page 27 to connect both power modules of the
enclosure to their power sources.
If the power sources have circuit breakers or switches, ensure that they are turned on. The enclosure
does not have power switches.
Notes:
• Each enclosure has two power modules. To provide power failure redundancy, connect the two power
cords to separate power circuits.
• Ensure that each power cable is secured to each power module on the back of the enclosure.
Next, you will connect a mini USB cable to the SSR access port on the canister and checkout the
hardware.
Connecting a mini USB cable to the SSR access port (IBM SSR task)
Before you check the system, you must connect a mini USB cable to the SSR access port on the IBM
Elastic Storage System 3200.
1. Locate the SSR access ports on IBM Elastic Storage System 3200, as shown in the following figure:
