■To Switch to OFF
Turn the main line switch of the power distribution unit to the OFF position (marked "¡").
Note
This does not need to be turned off for normal operation. If the ETERNUS DX must be turned off, such as
before any inspections of power supply devices are performed, turn off the ETERNUS DX by using the
procedure described in "Powering Off" (page 21), turn all the PSU switches of the power supply unit to
the OFF position, and turn the main line switch of the power distribution unit to the OFF position.

IMPORTANT
When turning the main line switch to ON (marked "|") right after turning the main line switch to OFF
(marked "¡"), turn it back to ON (marked "|") after the POWER LED of the power supply unit has
turned off completely.
Switching On and Off the PSU Switch on the Power Supply Unit
This section explains how to move the PSU switch of the power supply unit of the controller enclosure and drive
enclosures to the ON and OFF positions in each enclosure. Note that power supply units for high-density drive
enclosures, frontend enclosures, and controller enclosures in the ETERNUS DX500 S5/DX600 S5/DX900 S5 do not
have PSU switches.

Powering On
This section explains how to turn on the ETERNUS DX.
To turn on the ETERNUS DX, perform the following procedure.
•Via the power switch
Press the Power switch to turn on the ETERNUS DX.
The following methods can be used to turn the power on by linking with the server.
•Power Synchronized Unit
Use the power synchronized unit to turn on the ETERNUS DX.
•Wake On LAN
Use the Wake On LAN function to turn on the power.
Note
Before turning on the ETERNUS DX, make sure that the main line switches of the power distribution units
and the PSU switches on the power supply units of the ETERNUS DX are "ON". Do not turn the main line
switches of the power distribution units and the PSU switches on the ETERNUS DX to the OFF position.
IMPORTANT
•The following table shows the time required for the ETERNUS DX to reach the READY state (the READY
LED turns on) after turning the power on. This should be taken into consideration for scheduled
operations.

*1: The time required to turn the power on for the Unified configuration depends on the NAS configuration (or the number of
shared folders and the number of VLAN/Bonding configurations).
*2: The ETERNUS DX900 S5 supports the Compression function only.
•Before turning the server on, check that the ETERNUS DX and the network devices that connect the
ETERNUS DX and the server are all in READY status.
If the server is turned on while any of these devices are not in READY status, the server may not be able
to recognize the ETERNUS DX.
1. Basic Operation
Powering On and Off
18 Operation Guide (Basic)

•To turn on the ETERNUS DX by linking with the server, the server must wait until the ETERNUS DX is in
the READY state.
•If the Auto Power function is enabled via ETERNUS Web GUI or ETERNUS CLI, the ETERNUS DX is
automatically turned on when power is supplied to the ETERNUS DX.
•If the Power Resume function is enabled via ETERNUS Web GUI or ETERNUS CLI, the ETERNUS DX is
automatically turned on after the power is restored.
•If the REMOTE LED of the ETERNUS DX500 S5/DX600 S5 is green, turn on the ETERNUS DX500 S5/DX600
S5 via a power synchronized unit.
•After power-off, wait for about one minute before turning power on again.
•If the ETERNUS DX turns off abnormally due to problems such as a power failure, it takes approximately
10 minutes (max.) longer for the ETERNUS DX60 S5/DX100 S5/DX200 S5 and the ETERNUS DX500 S5,
approximately 15 minutes (max.) longer for the ETERNUS DX600 S5, or approximately 20 minutes
(max.) longer for the ETERNUS DX900 S5 to reach the READY state the next time the ETERNUS DX is
turned on.
•If the ETERNUS DX is not connected to a power source for long periods, it takes up to four hours before
the built-in battery is fully charged. If the ETERNUS DX is used before the battery is fully charged, the
operational state of the cache is changed to the Write Through mode and performance of the ETERNUS
DX degrades.
This section explains how to use the Power switch to turn on the ETERNUS DX.
For other procedures, refer to the related manuals.
