Connect the Power Cords
1.
For each installed power supply, connect one grounded storage server power
cord to a grounded electrical outlet.
Note -
Power cables should already be installed in the Sun Rack II 1042 (1000-mm) system
rack.
Note -
The storage server is equipped with two power supplies. Connect them to separate power
sources to provide power redundancy. The storage server can operate with one power source;
however, having only one power source reduces the redundancy.
2. Connect the storage server power cords to the power supply AC connectors on
the back panel of the storage server and use a Velcro strap to secure them to the
storage server.
When power is connected, the storage server boots into standby power mode:
■
The green AC OK LED lights on each power supply.
■
The SP OK/Fault LED flashes rapidly while the SP is starting, and the main Power/OK
LED remains off until the SP is ready.
■
After a few minutes, the main Power/OK LED slowly flashes the standby blink pattern (0.1
seconds on, 2.9 seconds off) and the SP OK LED is steady on, indicating that the SP (and
Oracle ILOM) is ready for use.
In standby power mode, the storage server is not initialized or fully powered on at this point.
