Connect Power Cables and Turn On the Storage System
Connect power cables to the storage system components and turn on the hardware.
About this task
- If the storage system is installed without expansion enclosures, connect power cables to the storage system chassis and turn on the storage system.
- If the storage system is installed with expansion enclosures, connect power cables to the expansion enclosure chassis. Make sure you power on each expansion enclosure before turning on the storage system.
NOTE: When powering on expansion enclosures with spinning hard drives, wait approximately three minutes for the drives to spin up before powering on the storage system.
Steps
- Make sure that the power switches are in the OFF position before connecting the power cables.
- Connect the power cables securely to both power
supply/cooling fan modules in the storage system chassis.
Figure 1. Connect the Power Cables 
- Connect the power cables plugged into the left power supply to one power distribution unit (PDU).
- Connect the power cables plugged into the right power supply to a second power distribution unit (PDU).
- Turn on the storage system by pressing
the power switches on both power supply/cooling fan modules to the
ON position.
CAUTION: Do not power off the storage system until it is discovered by Storage Manager. During the initial power up, the storage system might take up to twenty minutes to boot completely.
Figure 2. Turn On the Storage System 
NOTE:
- If the LEDs on a storage controller do not turn on, the storage controller might not be fully seated in the storage system chassis. If this issue occurs, press both power buttons to turn off the storage system. Reseat the storage controller, and then press both power buttons again to turn on the storage system.
If the power supply units do not power on, confirm that the power source is 200 to 240 volts (V). The 200 to 240 V power supply units do not display any LED indications if they are plugged into a 110 V outlet.
