5 Powering On the Storage System
To avoid electric shock, do not wear an ESD wrist strap when the storage system is powering on.
Do not change cable connections between enclosures after power-on. Otherwise the storage system may
malfunction.
Follow the correct power-on sequence of the storage system: Turn on the external power supplies to each
device (disk enclosures first and then controller enclosures).
→ Press the power buttons on the controller
enclosures.
→ Power on the switch. → Power on the application servers.
Follow the correct power-off sequence of the storage system: Stop host services.
→ Press and hold down the
power buttons (typically for five seconds) on the controller enclosures until the system is powered off.
→
Disconnect the controller enclosures and the disk enclosures from their power supplies.
The power-on of the storage system takes 15 to 30 minutes. When the power indicator on the controller enclosure no longer
blinks, the power-on is completed.
