Operation
4.1 Powering On the Appliance
Caution Do not operate the system until the ambient temperature is within the specified operating range. If the
drives have been recently installed make sure they have had time to acclimatize before operating them.
1
Before powering up the appliance make sure that all the modules are firmly seated in their correct bays.
Important All drive and PSU apertures must be filled for the appliance to receive sufficient cooling. If a drive
or PSU is not present, the aperture must be filled with a blank.
2
Apply AC mains power to the appliance.
3
Press the on/off switch (see section 4.4.1 on page 35 ). The Power Active LED on the Ops Panel should
be lit (green) when the power button is pressed (and the disk drive motors should start).
All drives in the appliance should automatically start. If this does not occur, one of the following
conditions might exist:
• There may be a power problem (an alarm and power fault indication would normally be indicated
– see Chapter 5 , “Troubleshooting” on page 39 ).
• If there is only one PSU present, the drive motors will spin up in a delayed sequence.
Important If mains power is lost for any reason, on restoration of power the appliance will re-start
automatically (unless configured otherwise in the BIOS).
