Chapter 3. Starting the controller unit
After you install the controller unit in a rack and connect it to the Fibre Channel Arbitrated
Loop, you are ready to complete the installation. This chapter describes how to connect
the power cords, turn on and off the power, check the indicator lights, and complete the
installation.
Turning on the power
Use this procedure to connect the power cords to the controller unit and to the ac power
source.
1 Make sure both power switches on the controller unit are off.
2 Plug both controller unit power cords into the controller unit, as shown in Figure 27 .
3 Plug both controller unit power cords into the ac outlets.
To maintain power redundancy, plug each power cord into an independent power
source, such as the ac distribution box inside a cabinet or an external receptacle. For
details about power requirements, see
"Operating specifications" on page 5 .
