4. Power cords
IMPORTANT: See “Electrical Requirements” in the
web-posted setup guide for additional information.
AC models
1. Turn off all power switches.
2. Using the provided AC power cords, connect each
power supply module to one power source in the rack.
3. Connect the primary power cords from the rack to
separate external power sources.
DC models
1. Before making any DC connections, shut off the main
circuit breaker in the rack.
2. Turn off all enclosure power switches.
3. Connect a DC power cable to each
power supply using the D-shell
connector. Use the up arrow on the
connector shell to ensure proper
positioning.
4. Tighten the screws at the top and
bottom of the shell, applying a torque between 1.7 N-m
(15 lb-in) and 2.3 N-m (20 lb-in), to securely attach the
cable to the DC power supply module.
5. To complete each required DC connection, secure the
other end of each DC power cable to the target DC
power source.
IMPORTANT: Check the DC cable labels before
connecting each cable to its power source. One wire
is labeled ground; the other two are labeled positive
and negative.
6. Turn on the main circuit breaker to the rack.
5. Powering up
IMPORTANT: When powering up, make sure to
power up the enclosures and servers in proper
sequence.
Power up sequence:
• Drive enclosure(s) first;
• Controller enclosure(s) next;
• Switches (if applicable), followed by servers (if they are
powered down for maintenance).
To power on the storage system:
1. Press the power switches on the back of each drive
enclosure to the On position. Wait several minutes to
ensure that all drives have had time to spin up, so that
they can be recognized by the controller.
2. Press the power switches on the back of the controller
enclosure to the On position.
6. Next steps
Perform the following steps to finish the installation and
configure/provision the storage system:
1. Complete the hardware installation.
For additional hardware installation information, see the
web-posted setup guide.
2. Use the storage system’s web-based management
interface, RAIDar, to configure and provision the
system.
