Turning on the hardware and verifying operation
If you have turned off your appliance you must wait to turn it on again. The appliance and the attached storage shelves must be turned on in a specific order. If the hardware is not turned on correctly the appliance RAID controller may not recognize some storage units.
If you have turned off your appliance you can begin turning on storage shelves. Use the following procedure to turn on the storage shelves in the required order.
To turn on the 3U16 storage shelves
- Start with the storage shelf that is farthest in distance from the appliance.
- Flip on the power switches on each power supply on the rear of the shelf.
- Verify that the power LED on each power module is green.
- Locate the LEDs on each I/O module.
The following list describes the I/O module LED states.
Not lit - off
Solid green - ready (optimal)
Flashes green - N/A
Red - starting up
- Move to the front of the storage shelf to check the system LEDs.

To turn on the appliance
- Connect both AC power connectors on the rear panel of the appliance to two main AC power supply outlets.
- Turn on the appliance, using the power button which is located on the right side of the front panel.
- Determine if the appliance is running properly.
Check the Status LED (1), and Activity (2) LED on the installed disk drives on the front panel.
The Status LED (1) should not be lit. The following indications are possible:
A solid, amber, LED indicates a disk fault.
A blinking, amber, LED indicates that a RAID rebuild is in progress.
The Activity LED (2) indicates the following:
The LED is not lit when the disk has spun down, although power is on.
The LED is solid green when there is no disk activity, although power is on.
The LED blinks green when the disk spins up.
The LED blinks green occasionally when commands are processed.
- Review all LEDs on the front control panel.
