Procedure – Turning On the Power to the Storage Array and Checking for
Problems in a E2600 Controller-Drive Tray Configuration
NOTE You must turn on the power to all of the connected drive trays before you turn on the power for the
controller-drive tray. Performing this action makes sure that the controllers recognize each attached drive tray.
NOTE While the power is being applied to the trays, the LEDs on the front and the rear of the trays come on and
go off intermittently.
1. Turn on both Power switches on each drive tray that is attached to the controller-drive tray. Depending on your
configuration, it can take several minutes for each drive tray to complete the power-on process.
NOTE Before you go to step 2, check the LEDs on the drive trays to verify that the power was successfully applied
to all of the drive trays. Wait 30 seconds after turning on the power to the drive trays before turning on the power to
the controller-drive tray.
2. Turn on both Power switches on the rear of the controller-drive tray. Depending on your configuration, it can
take several minutes for the controller-drive tray to complete the power-on process.
3. Check the LEDs on the front and the rear of the controller-drive tray and the attached drive trays.
4. If you see any amber LEDs, make a note of their location.
