Maintaining the storage system
Ongoing proper maintenance of the storage system maintains the reliability of the storage system and its constant
availability to all hosts connected to it.
For more complex maintenance activities, contact customer support.
Storing the storage system
If the storage system does not receive power for more than six months, the battery can become discharged and possibly
damaged. To avoid this situation, charge the battery for more than three hours at least once every six months.
Note Do not store the equipment in an environment with temperatures of 104ºF (40ºC) or higher because battery life will
be shortened.
Using flash module drives
Observe the following guidelines when handling the listed flash module drives (FMDs). The following types of FMDs are
equipped with a battery or capacitor.
CautionPower up the flash module drives using power from the storage system for at least 90 minutes every month.
Failure to do so can render a flash module drive unusable and voids replacement under the terms of the warranty.

Guidelines for handling the FMDs
Follow the guidelines to avoid damaging the components when handling FMDs.
• Check the main edge connector of the drive for any damage, deformation, dust, or debris before installing.
• Check for floats or position gaps in the connector. Mark the identified location.
• To prevent any damages to the FMD, avoid touching the connector or handling the ends of the FMD. Use both
hands to hold the middle area of the FMD.
• Avoid installing or removing the FMD at an angled position.
Powering off the storage system
1. Press the main switch for three seconds until the POWER LED blinks.
2. Verify the POWER LED on the front of the storage system changes from green to amber.
Wait 25 minutes to 4 hours for the POWER LED to turn amber, depending on the system configuration (check after
33 minutes).
3. To stop the power supply, remove the power cables from the power supply units on the controller chassis and
drive box.
If the storage system is connected to a PDU, you can stop the power supply by turning off the PDU breaker.
NoteIf the storage system does not receive power for more than six months, the battery can become discharged
and possibly damaged. To avoid this situation, charge the battery for more than three hours at least once every six
months.
