Base unit power receptacles
Each power supply contains a power receptacle that must be connected to
a working AC power source using the supplied AC power cable.
Disk drive status LEDs
The AMS 2100/2300 base units and expansion unit each have two LEDs that
are built into the unit chassis above each disk drive slot. These LEDS, shown
in Figure 1-27 , indicate the status of the drive that is installed in the slot
below them.

NOTE: Hitachi Data Systems recommends that each power supply in the
base unit be connected to a different AC source in the rack. If one source
fails, the other source continues to supply power to the other power supply.
This keeps the array running until power is restored to the failed source.
NOTE: The AMS 2500 base unit does not contain disk drives.
