Step 7: Cable the management console
A customer-supplied computer is used to set up and manage your storage system.
Before you begin
Obtain a Category 5 or better Ethernet cable.
■
Obtain a customer-supplied Windows-based PC that will serve as the management
■
console for setting up the storage system for the first time and, thereafter, to manage the
storage system. The management console must have a supported web browser: Internet
Explore version 11 or later, Chrome, or Firefox.
Procedure
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the management port on the rear of either
controller.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a management console.
Step 8: Power on the storage system
After connecting the management console to the storage system, you can power on the
storage system.
Procedure
1. Power on the PDUs.
2. Confirm that the top (POWER) LED on the lower left front side of the controller is lit
amber, as shown in the following figure. If the storage system has a drive tray, confirm
that the POWER LED on the lower left front side of the drive tray is lit green.
3. If the front bezel is not attached to the front of the controller, attach it as follows:
a. Line up the two tabs on the left side of the controller with the two slots on the left
side of the bezel.
b. Connect the bezel by sliding it on and swinging the bezel closed.
c. Use the key to secure the bezel to the front of the unit.
4. On the lower left front side of the controller, press and hold the POWER ON/OFF button
until the POWER LED changes to green (about 3 seconds), and then release the button.
5. Wait for the green READY LED on the front of the controller to go on (approximately 13
minutes).
Note: To prevent the storage system from being turned off by accident,
make sure the external power sources are not controlled by a wall switch.
