Procedure
1. Plug power cables into the power supplies.
2. Verify that the connection is secure.
3. Plug the other end of the power cables into the power circuit.
To minimize the risk of both power supplies for a controller losing power simultaneously, connect each power cable to a
different circuit.
If the array does not come online automatically, press and release the power button
on the front of the chassis.
Initial Setup Using the Storage Setup Manager for Windows
After your array has been installed in the rack and connected to your network, you must complete the initial setup of the array
by configuring some basic settings to get the array running on the network.
This chapter describes using the HPE Storage Setup Manager for Windows, which has been installed on a Windows host as
part of the HPE Storage Toolkit for Windows, to complete the initial setup. The setup manager has a graphical user interface
(GUI) that allows you to easily complete the initial setup.
Note: If you do not have a Windows host from which to complete the initial setup, you must use the CLI. For more
information, see Initial Setup Using the CLI on page 40.
After the initial setup is complete, refer to the GUI Administration Guide or the CLI Administration Guide for group and volume
configuration, and additional optional configuration tasks.

Download the latest version of the HPE Storage Toolkit for Windows to install on your Windows host or Windows VM.
Important: Make sure that the version of the toolkit is compatible with the version of the operating system on your
array. For compatibility information, see the Validated Configuration Matrix tool, which is available on HPE InfoSight
(https://infosight.hpe.com/resources/nimble/validated-configuration-matrix).
