3. Tighten the adjusting screws on both retainers until the power cords
cannot be disconnected.
4. Connect the power cords to a power source with voltage of 200 to 240
VAC, 50-60 Hz.
Note HP recommends the use of two separate PDUs and two separate
power sources to maintain high reliability. Each PDU must have at least
one C19 connector. Do not mount the PDUs to the left of the switch door.
This will inhibit door operation.
5. Flip both green AC power switches to “1”. The AC power switches light
up green when switched on and power is being supplied.
Each time the switch is powered on, it automatically performs POST, which
is complete when indicator light activity returns to standard state. For more
information about indicator light patterns, refer to “Interpreting LED
Activity” on page 54.
The entire boot process, including POST, takes a minimum of 5 minutes. To
skip POST, use the fastboot command. For more information about this
command, refer to the hp StorageWorks fabric os reference. A fast boot
requires approximately two minutes to complete.
CAUTION Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP addresses
are configured. For instructions on setting the IP addresses, see the
following section, Configuring the Switch.
