Powering On the Steelhead Appliance
The following section describes how to connect the AC power and how to power on the system.
Caution:
In European electrical environments you must ground (earth) the Green/Yellow tab on the power cord. If you
do not ground the Green/Yellow tab, it can cause an electrical shock.
To power on the system
1.
If your system has a master power switch, make sure the system and master power switch is in the off
position on the rear of the Steelhead appliance.
2.
Plug the AC power cord into the Steelhead appliance.
Note:
If your model has multiple power supplies, you must plug in all the power cords or you will hear an alarm.
Important:
The Model 50, 100, 200, or 300 is designed for the desktop. If you install the Model 50, 100, 200, or 300 in a
rack do not place equipment on top of the unit; it causes restricted airflow and can cause damage to the
equipment or reduce performance.
