2. Apply power to the magazine tape ISE installed in position 5 (if present).

Then apply power to the one in position 6 (if present). Observe the front

panel. If a failure occurs, refer to Chapter 9.

3. Apply power to each storage enclosure starting with position 1 and

continuing in numerical order.

4. Press the dc power switch for each ISE in each storage enclosure in the

DECarray. Start with position 1 and continue in numerical order. If the

Fault indicator lights for any disk ISE, refer to Chapter 9.

5. Observe the OCP indicators.

For SF3x Storage Enclosures:

a. Check that all dc power buttons are lit for all ISEs installed in the rear

of the storage enclosure. After about 15 seconds after power is applied,

the buttons ﬂicker, indicating power-on self-tests.

b. Check that all dc power buttons are lit for all ISEs installed in the

front of the storage enclosure. Power is applied to the front ISEs

approximately 30 seconds after the rear ISEs. About 15 seconds after

power is applied, the buttons ﬂicker, indicating power-on self-tests.

c. Check that all Fault indicators on the OCP are off. If a Fault indicator

is lit green or amber, press the switch. If a Fault indicator is lit red, it

indicates a faulty ISE.

For SF7x Storage Enclosures:

a. Check that the TERM PWR indicator (behind the door of the OCP) is

on for all positions installed.

b. Check that the SPLIT indicator (behind the door of the OCP) is on for

all positions.

6. Press the Ready button on the OCP. The Ready indicator ﬂickers, then

lights steadily green once the ISE is on-line.
