Step 3: Turn on Power to the Array
Before turning on power, allow sufficient time for the PS6000 to adjust to ambient
temperature (for example, overnight).
The power switch is located below the power plug on each power supply and
cooling module.
Note:
Batteries will start to charge and some hardware components will start to
synchronize when power is turned on. Array LEDs may indicate this on-

Note:
The serial cable that was shipped with the array is a standard null-modem
cable with a female DB9 connector (Figure 2-7) on each end. You might
have to make or buy an adapter cable (one DB9 connector and one RJ45
connector) to connect the array to some terminal server models. See
Table 2-5 for the DB9 to DB9 pinout information.
