Operation

3.1 Before You Begin

Before powering up the enclosure please ensure that all the modules are firmly seated in their correct 

bays.

3.2 Power On

Do not operate the subsystem until the ambient temperature is within the specified operating range. If the 
drives have been recently installed ensure they have had time to acclimatize before operating them.

Note

NotePlease refer to Section 

1.2.2.1

 for details of the ESI/Ops Panel LEDs and related fault conditions.

Follow the procedure below to power up the enclosure.

1

Apply AC Mains power to the enclosure. Turn the Power Supply modules to ON.

2

All LEDs on the ESI/Ops Panel should be lit (Green) when the enclosure power is activated (and the disk 
drive motors should start).

Note

All LEDs on the ESI/Ops panel should be lit Green at power up to indicate that the system is functioning 
correctly. If any show Amber then a problem exists and the procedure in 

Chapter 4

 should be followed. 

Important

If mains power is lost for any reason, on restoration of power the enclosure will re-start 
automatically. 

3.3 Operator Panel LEDs

The ESI/Ops Panel LEDs are shown in 

Table 3–1

.

Under Normal conditions the LEDs should all be illuminated constant GREEN.
