Connecting the system

Connect the RJ45 end of the serial adapter to the serial console port on AltaVault appliance. Connect the serial end
of the serial adapter to a serial cable, and have the serial cable connect to a system with a serial communications
port and serial communications software (for example, PuTTY).
The image belows shows how to connect a Windows or Linux client to the console port.
Connecting the power and starting the system
An AltaVault controller ships with two AC power supplies installed in the chassis and a geographically appropriate
power cord. Cable the power supply before powering on the system. Ensure that the power switch for the power supply
and the power source is in the off (O) position.
The information contained in this section assumes each chassis is connected directly to the building mains. If you are
installing a chassis in a 4-post rack, the power is delivered through power distribution units (PDUs) that use C13-C14
jumper cords, in most cases. The input cord from each PDU connects to the mains.
Each chassis should be connected to separate PDUs or separate branch circuits to maintain power redundancy.
To connect the power and start the system
1.
For the power supply in the AltaVault controller:
Connect one end of the power supply cable to the power cord inlet on the power supply.
Secure the power cable to the power supply using the retaining clip.
Connect the other end of the power supply cable to the power source.
Important:
You must power on the disk shelf before powering on the controller. Powering on the controller before the disk shelf
prevents the AltaVault OS from operating normally. Additionally, you must power off the controller before powering off the shelf.
