2.3.8 Power connection
Before connecting to a power source, ensure that all components are properly installed and the
management interfaces are properly connected.
Take a look at the list below and check the following:
1. The hard drives are correctly installed to the drive trays.
2. All drive trays are installed to the system, whether or not they contain a hard drive.
3. The system is connected to host computers, management computers, or external networking
devices with the correct cables.
IMPORTANT!
Ensure to use the power cables with at least 1.2 meters in length. DO NOT use
extension cables as the power cables are designed to connect
ONLY and DIRECTLY
to relocatable
power taps (RPTs) on server cabinets.
4. Ensure that the ambient temperature is not less than 35°C (with CBM).
Connecting to power source
Use the bundled power cables and connect them to the power sockets for both PSUs.
Turning on the system
Before turning on the GSa system, you must turn on the expansion enclosures first if your network
configuration consists of multiple arrays.
To turn on the system:
1. Turn on the networking devices.
2. Turn on the JBOD expansion systems.
3. Press the power switches located at the PSUs, from left to right order.
4. Turn on the application servers.
