Connecting the Power Cords
Use the following steps to connect the power cords to the BlackPearl NAS solution master
node and any 44-bay expansion nodes. The figure below shows the BlackPearl NAS solution
4U master node. Power connectors on the BlackPearl NAS solution 2U master node, and the
BlackPearl NAS solution 44-Bay expansion node are in similar locations.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect power cords to a BlackPearl NAS solution 96-Bay or 107-Bay
expansion node at this time.
IMPORTANT
The chassis power on as soon as you connect the power cord to the AC power outlet.
1.
Connect a power cord to each of the power supply connectors.
Figure 44
Connect the power cords to the power supplies (BlackPearl NAS solution 4U master
node shown).
2.
Plug the other end of each cord into an AC power outlet. Spectra Logic recommends
connecting the cords to separate electrical circuits for power redundancy.

(see

it automatically imports the
activation keys and power cycles the system. Wait while the BlackPearl system performs
its power-on sequence.
