Once all of the components have been installed in the RAID subsystem and the host channels 

have been connected to the host, the subsystem can be powered on.

Before powering on the RAID subsystem, please check the following:

•

Memory module: Memory modules have been correctly installed on the controller boards.

•

BBU: Ensure that the BBU has been installed correctly.

•

Hard drives: Hard drives have been correctly installed in the drive trays.

•

Drive trays: ALL the drive trays, whether or not they have a hard drive, have been installed 

into the subsystem.

•

Cable connections: The host ports on the subsystem have been correctly connected to a 

host computer.

•

Power cables: The power cables have been connected to the PSU modules on the subsys-

tem and plugged into the main power source.

•

Ambient temperature: All the subsystem components have been acclimated to the sur-

rounding temperature.

When powering on the RAID subsystem, please follow these steps:

1.

Power on the subsystems that are not connected directly to the host computer, if 

applied.

If you have daisy chained any RAID subsystem, power on those subsystems before power-

ing on the first subsystem that is connected to your host computer(s). 

2.

Power on the RAID subsystem.

The first subsystem should be powered on before the host computers. To power on the 

subsystem please follow the description below.

Using the power cords provided in the package, connect both power sockets on the sub-

system rear panel to the main power source.

Turn the two (2) power switches on. (See Figure 5.5) Each switch controls a single PSU, 

therefore make sure that both switches are turned on.

Power Sockets and Power Switches

To create dual redundant data paths on the host side, it is necessary to install third-party 

failover software on the host computer.
