Connecting the storage engine to AC power

Turn on any third-party devices, if applicable.

Power on the disk shelves. See Connecting the disk shelves to AC power.

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

Confirm that the power switch on each power supply 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 clip on the power supply.

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

Repeat Steps 4 through 6 for the second power supply.

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

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