3.2 Powering the System On and Off
3.2.1 Powering On
Before powering on, make sure that all cables and cords are properly installed and connected.
1. If you have not yet done so, plug the power cords for ExaSAN A08S3-PS Storage System to
a power source.
2. Turn power on for the ExaSAN A08S3-PS by switching on the Power button. Wait for the
"Heartbeat LED indicator" (refer to Section 1.4.1.1, "A08S3-PS Front Panel") to turn into a
flash blue state. Note that you might hear a few short beeps generated from the RAID disk
system during this process. If interested, go to Sec 1.4.1.2 for beeper codes.
3. Turn on the host workstation/server.
Caution
It is important to follow the correct Power On sequence. Failure to do
so may result in some features not functioning properly.
