AC power supply
Enclosures equipped with switchless power supplies rely on the power cord for power cycling. Connecting the cord from
the power supply power cord connector to the appropriate power source facilitates power on, whereas disconnecting the
cord from the power source facilitates power off.

To power on the system:
1.
Obtain a suitable AC power cord for each AC power supply that will connect to a power source.
2.
Plug the power cord into the power cord connector on the back of the drive enclosure (see
). Plug the other
end of the power cord into the rack power source. Wait several seconds to allow the disks to spin up.
Repeat this sequence for each power supply within each drive enclosure.
3.
Plug the power cord into the power cord connector on the back of the controller enclosure (see
). Plug the
other end of the power cord into the rack power source.
Repeat the sequence for the controller enclosure’s other switchless power supply.
To power off the system:
1.
Stop all I/O from hosts to the system [see
2.
Shut down both controllers using
either
method described below:
Use the SMU to shut down both controllers, as described in the online help and web-posted

.
Use the CLI to shut down both controllers, as described in the
HPE MSA 2050 CLI Reference Guide
.
3.
Disconnect the power cord female plug from the power cord connector on the power supply module.
Perform this step for each power supply module (controller enclosure first, followed by drive enclosures).
