Use the following procedure to power on the storage system. The main switch on the controller chassis is used to power on the storage system.

Note: No management server, either local or remote, is required for the storage array to complete its boot-up process and be ready for use.




  1. Turn ON all the breakers to the storage system.
  2. Press the main switch on the controller chassis for three seconds until the POWER LED changes from amber to green.
    Note: The storage system takes approximately 13 minutes to finish powering on.
  3. Wait for the storage system to complete its power-on self-test and bootup processes.
    When the READY indicator is ON (green LED), the storage system is ready for use.
    CAUTION:
    If the ALARM indicator is also ON (red LED), or if the READY indicator is not ON after 40 minutes, contact customer support for assistance.
