The DX100 must be powered on in the following sequence:

• Turn on the circuit breakers of the AC power sequencers
• Wait for all of the storage arrays to become ready
Initially Configuring the
DX-Series System
0
Before you can access the web management pages from the DX-Series
controller, you must initially configure the system with an IP address and
other network information as well as create cartridges on all connected
storage arrays.
Initially configuring the DX-Series consists of the following steps:
•
Connecting to the DX-Series Controller
•
Configure Service Options
•
Configuring User Options
•
Creating Cartridges
•
Updating Device Firmware
•
Running the Collect Script
(Recommended)
Note:
The system during the initial discovery process takes up to 3
minutes per storage array to become ready. Subsequent boots
during normal operation will take up to 10 seconds per array
to become ready. The system is ready when all connected
ports on the Fibre Channel switch show a green status.
Tech Tip:
If you have already established a HyperTerminal
connection with the controller before powering on the
controller (see
Connecting to the DX-Series Controller
