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
CLARiiON CX700 Storage Processor Enclosure (SPE) Hardware Reference
. If you cannot
determine any reasons for errors, contact your authorized service provider.
