CAUTION:

drives as failed when the server is powered up.
IMPORTANT:
If installing a hot-plug device, it is not necessary to power down the enclosure.
Powering up

powering up the servers, you will need to power down the servers, ensure that the enclosure is
powered up, and then power back up the servers.
