 Step 8

Start the Storage System

1. Turn on the power switches (if present) for the SPE and the DAE power/cooling 

modules.

2. Turn on the power switch for each SPS.

3. Be sure any other devices in the cabinet are correctly installed and ready for 

powerup, then 

a. Plug the power cords into the power outlets in your facility. (Standard EMC 

cabinets use two 240-volt ac cables.) Connect each power cord to a different 
branch circuit. 

Both power cords must be connected to the appropriate power supply

b. Turn on the master switch/circuit breakers for each cabinet/rack power strip.

The storage system may take several minutes to complete powerup. Amber warning 
lights will flash during power-on self-test (POST) and then go off. 

The front Fault light and the SPS recharge lights commonly stay on for several minutes while 
the SPS units fully charge.

If the amber lights on the front or back of the system remain on, make sure the 
system is correctly cabled and then refer to the fault code explanations in the 

EMC

determine any reasons for errors, contact your authorized service provider.
