Operation

Before you begin

Before powering on the enclosure system, make sure that all modules are firmly seated in their correct slots. Verify that
you have successfully completed the sequential "Installation Checklist" instructions in
completed steps 1 through 9, you can access the management interfaces using your web-browser to complete the system
setup.

Powering on/powering off

CAUTION: Do not operate the enclosure system until the ambient temperature is within the specified operating range
described in "Environmental requirements" (page
have had time to adjust to the environmental conditions before they are used with production data for I/O.
1. Power on the system by connecting the power cables from the PCM to the PDU, and moving the power switch on the
PCM to the on position. See
The System Power LED on the Ops panel should be lit green when the enclosure power is activated.
2. Power the system down by moving the power switch on the PCM to the off position.
Generally, when powering up, make sure to power up the enclosures and associated data host in the following order:
• Drive enclosures first
This ensures that the disks in the drive enclosure have enough time to completely spin up before being scanned by
the controller modules within the controller enclosure.
While enclosures power up, their LEDs blink. After the LEDs stop blinking—if no LEDs on the front and back of the
enclosure are amber—the power-on sequence is complete, and no faults have been detected.
• Controller enclosure next
Depending upon the number and type of disks in the system, it may take several minutes for the system to become
ready.
• Data host last (if powered down for maintenance purposes).
TIP: Generally, when powering off, you will reverse the order of steps used for powering on.
IMPORTANT: If main power is lost for any reason, upon restoration of power, the system will restart automatically.
