PFR500/E power-up and initialization
This section gives information about connecting power and powering-on the
PFR500/E system.
Connecting electrical cables
For each chassis, there are two electrical cables which should be connected to separate
outside power sources, as shown.
WARNING: Make sure the power cords meet local safety and electrical
standards.
CAUTION: The PFR500/E system must be electrically grounded.
Operating the system without proper grounding can damage disk drives. If
the outlet you use is not grounded, make sure that a licensed electrician
replaces it and installs a grounding conductor.
Powering-up the system
Power-up the PFR 500/E system beginning with the PFR500E Expansion Chassis by
turning on the standby switches.
When you power-up the PFR 500/E, the 7-segment LED display on the rear panel of the
RAID Controller and Loop Bypass Boards shows a single digit (0 through 9). This
indicates the chassis address of the chassis. The chassis displaying chassis address 0
contains drives from 0 to 9; the chassis displaying chassis address 1 contains drives from
10 to 19; and so forth. (If you must change chassis addresses, refer to your PVS Series
Installation Guide or the Media Area Network Instruction Manual.
After initialization, all disk drive LEDs will be green. This takes approximately 3
minutes. If there is a problem, refer to
“Servicing the PFR 500/E” on page 35
