After you install all hardware components, you must power on the system and check its
status.
About this task
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.
Procedure
To power on the system, complete the following steps.
- Power on the control enclosure by
using the supplied power cords to connect all of the power supply units 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 supply units. To
provide power failure redundancy, connect the power cords from each PSU to separate power
circuits.
- Ensure that each power cable is secured to each PSU on the back of the enclosure.
- Route the power cables through the cable‑management arms
(CMA).
What to do next
Next, you will connect an Ethernet cable to the technician port on the control enclosure,
and initialize the system.
