3.2.1 Powering On
Before powering on, make sure that all cables and cords are properly installed and connected.
1. If you have not yet done so, plug the power cords for ExaSAN B08S2-PS Storage System to a power
source.
2. Turn power on for the ExaSAN B08S2-PS by switching on the Power button. Wait for the “Heartbeat
LED indicator” (refer to Section 1.4.1.1, “B08S2-PS Front Panel”) to turn into a steady blue state.
Note that you might hear a few short beeps generated from the RAID disk system during this process.
If interested, go to Sec 1.4.1.2 for beeper codes.
3. Turn on the host workstation/server.
