Acclimating the Storage System
Before powering on the storage system, the system may require up to 24 hours to acclimatize to
the new operating environment when outside-to-inside conditions vary significantly. If the system
or its components may have experienced environmental changes during the transit, allow enough
time for the system to acclimatize before proceeding with the power-on sequence.
CAUTION: To prevent potential damage to system hardware, do not power on the storage system
until it is fully acclimatized. If condensation is present after the 24-hour acclimatization period,
wait for all condensation to fully evaporate before completing the power-on sequence.
Powering On the Storage System
1. Set the circuit breakers on the PDUs to the ON position.
2. Set the switches on the power strips to the ON position.
NOTE: Some power strips may not have power switches.
3. Power on the service processor.
4. Power on the drive enclosure PCMs.
5. Power on the node enclosure PCMs.
6. After approximately 10 minutes, allowing time for the system to boot and the cache batteries
to charge, verify the status of the LEDs as described in “Verifying LED Status” (page 39).
