Connecting to an AC power source and powering on

Choose one of the grounding holes on the rear of your appliance chassis. The grounding hole is designated by the following symbol:

Using the grounding cable and screw that came with your appliance grounding kit, insert the screw through the ring terminal of the grounding cable, and then tighten the screw into the grounding hole on the chassis.

Insert a screw through the ring terminal at the other end of the grounding cable into the grounding hole on the disk shelf directly above your appliance.

Continue grounding the remaining disk shelves by daisy-chaining them with grounding cables. For more information about grounding your disk shelves, see your disk shelf hardware guide.

After you are finished grounding your appliance and disk shelves, go to Connecting to an AC power source and powering on.

Make sure that your appliance and all disk shelves cabled to your appliance are grounded.

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.

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.

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