Connecting to an AC power source and powering on

Turn on any third-party devices, if applicable.

Power on your disk shelves.

To power on the disk shelves, see your disk shelf guide.

Caution
It is important that you power on your appliance after the disk shelves. The disk shelves and disk drives require time to power on, reset, and prepare to respond to your appliance, which expects these units to be ready for input/output when it powers on and performs its reset and self-test.

Make sure that the power switch on each power supply on your appliance is in the Off (0) position.

Connect the socket end of the supplied power cord to the recessed power plug on the power supply.

Secure the power cord with the retaining adjustable clip on the power supply.

Plug the other end of the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.

Repeat Steps 1 through 6 for the second power supply, if needed.

Caution
To obtain power supply redundancy, you must connect the second power supply to a separate AC circuit.

Ground your appliance and disk shelves by attaching the grounding cable to the appropriate grounding hole on the side of your appliance chassis.

Turn the power switch on the power supplies to the On (l) position.
