If you are using a serial connection to shut down an array, it is safe to turn off power when the “press any key”
message appears. (Pressing any key will restart both control modules.)
If you are using a network connection, the session will be disconnected before the array is fully shut down.
Confirm that the ACT LED on each control module is off (not lit) before turning off power to the array.
After performing array maintenance, you can turn on power to the array. When the array restart completes, the
member and volumes will be set online.
