6.1 Switching on the System
6.1 Switching on the System
Proceed as follows:
1. (Scale model only): Turn on all PSU switches on the rear side of the storage modules.
a. Check that the LINE LEDs of all storage expansion modules are green.
b. Press the power switch on the left flange cover of the storage base module.
c. Wait until the READY LED of the storage base module glows green.
2. Press the power button of the server (see figure "Base and server power button" on
page 100 ).
3. Wait 15 minutes for the system to boot before continuing with the procedure.

Background Initialize
The storage modules are preconfigured in the factory and a Background Initialize process
has been started which runs autonomously on the storage system when it is switched on.
This Background Initialize continues to run on the customer side. Depending on the
configuration (number of storage modules), it can run for between one and several days.
This is NOT an error.
Since the Background Initialize runs autonomously on the storage system, the server can
consequently be rebooted and powered off without any restriction. If the storage base
module needs to be powered off, this can be done using the power switch on the front
panel.
As soon as the storage base is powered on again, the Background Initialize process is
automatically continued.
If an additional expansion module is integrated, a Background Initialize process is also
started here. The same rules apply as above.
