Supply Power and Power Up the System

Dell Force10 recommends re-inspecting your system prior to powering up.
Verify that:
• The equipment is properly secured to the rack and properly grounded.
• The equipment rack is properly mounted and grounded.
• The ambient temperature around the unit (which may be higher than the
room temperature) is within the limits specified for the Z9000.
• There is sufficient airflow around the unit.
• The input circuits are correctly sized for the loads and that sufficient
overcurrent protection devices are used.
• All protective covers are in place.
NOTE: A US AC power cable is included in the shipping container for powering
up an AC power supply. All other power cables must be ordered separately.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components
are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap
when handling the Z9000 and its components.

The SYS LED does not light up until the boot-up sequence is complete. When
the boot-up is complete, the SYS LED is steadily lit green.
