Chapter 2 - Initial Configuration
Power On the System
BlackPearl System with 96-Bay or 107-Bay Expansion Nodes
If your configuration includes one or more 96-bay expansion nodes or
107-bay expansion nodes, power on the expansion node(s) before powering on the master
node.
To power on a 96-bay expansion node, plug both power cables on the
96-bay expansion node into power outlets near the rear of the chassis.
The 96-bay expansion node immediately powers on. Wait approximately four minutes while
the expansion node initializes before powering on the BlackPearl master node.
To power on a 107-bay expansion node, remove the front bezel and reach into the left side
(as viewed from the front) and press the power button. Wait approximately five minutes
while the 107-bay expansion node initializes before powering on the BlackPearl Converged
Storage System master node.
To power on a BlackPearl system, remove the front bezel, and then gently press the power
button on the front panel. The power LED illuminates indicating that power is on. See
System Status LEDs on page 304
for more information.
