Caution:
Before powering on the switch, locate the position of the power switch for the
equipment room where you will operate so that you can switch off the power supply
promptly in case of any accident
5.2.2 Power-on
zTurn on the power to the system.
zTurn on the power switch on the system.
5.2.3 Check after Power-on (Recommended)
After powering on the switch, check that:
zThe cooling system works normally. You can hear the fans rotate and feel airflows
out of the vent.
zThe system LEDs on the SRPU work normally.
After that, make corresponding configurations.
