Chapter 3 Installing the DSN-2100 Storage System
3.6
Connecting the Power Cords
The DSN-2100 storage system has a two power receptacles. Both must be used to connect
the DSN-2100 to an AC outlet:
1.
Plug the female end of the power cord into the 3-pronged power connectors on the back
of the DSN-2100 storage system. Plug the other end of the power cord into a working AC
outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch.
2.
Repeat the previous step using the second power cable and power receptacle on the
DSN-2100 storage system. For best results, all both power receptacles should be on a
different circuit.
Although the DSN-2100 storage system can operate temporarily with only
two AC power connections, an audio alarm will sound until both power
receptacles are used.

Powering-on the DSN-2100 Storage System
To power-on the DSN-2100 storage system, press the power switch on the back panel. When
the DSN-2100 storage system powers-on, the following actions occur:
The DSN-2100 storage system Power LED turns green (see Figure 2-1).
The DSN-2100 storage system runs its power-on procedure (~4 minutes), then the
Ready/Fault LED turns green and drive LEDs may flash.
The completion of the power-on process can be verified as indicated in Table 3-2.

system.
Has a front panel Ready/Fault LED.
The LED turns green when the startup process completes. If
the LED turns red, reboot the DSN-2100 storage system. If the
problem persists, contact Technical Support.
Diagnostic port is connected to a PC via a diagnostic cable.
The message
RCP sequence complete appears on the PC
monitor. After verifying this message, disconnect the PC from
the diagnostic port.
After the DSN-2100 storage system powers-on for the first time, it automatically loads the
factory-default configuration settings. If necessary, you can use the xStack Storage
Management Center to change these settings to suit your requirements. For a description of
the array’s factory-default configuration settings and how to change them, refer to the
xStack Storage Management Center User's Guide.
