Installation
General instructions
1 Insert the proper connector into the Host
Interface Card in the back of the array. (Refer to
Connecting a Fibre Channel Array on page 11 for
Fibre Channel and
Connecting a SCSI Array on
page 13 for SCSI).
2 Connect the cable (Fibre Channel or SCSI)
from your host system to the Host Interface
Card connector on the back of the array. The
cable you use depends upon your application,
the environment and distance.
3 Make sure the power switches on the power
supplies on the rear of the unit are in the stand-
by position. Plug in the power cords to the back
of the unit, then into an appropriate power
source (100-240 VAC). The power source must
be connected to a protective earth ground and
comply with local electrical codes. Improper
grounding may result in an electrical shock or
damage to the unit.
4 Press the stand-by power switch for each
power supply to the ON position. When the
green power LED on the back of the unit is lit,
the power supply is fully operational and
delivering power to the system. The power LED
on the front of the array will light once the
firmware begins to execute.
When the power is turned on, the LEDs on the
front of the array will flash twice. Drives will spin
up in groups of three, about every one to two
seconds. The individual LEDs will blink. After all
available drives have spun up, the individual
drive LEDs will stay lit. When all available
drives are operational, the ready LED on the
top front panel of the management card will
remain lit.
