(moveable metal clip) on the component.
5. Connect the power to the DPE. Plug the free end of the power cables into the
PDU. Connect the power supply for SP A (shown as cable 1 in Figure 9 on page
27) to PDU A . Connect the power supply for SP B (shown as cable 2 in ) to
PDU B.
6. Bundle and secure the cables as necessary with tie wraps.
7. If your storage system has been installed in a cabinet, place the single-sided
adhesive backed Shut Down Procedure label included in the Accessory Kit on
the back of the cabinet door. Otherwise, place this label in a location that is
visible while viewing the storage system from the rear.
8. Monitor the system as it powers up. It takes approximately 10-15 minutes for
the system to power up. The LEDs show the progress of system activation.
Green, blue, and amber activity lights blink during the startup sequence. Review
the next section for information on the power up states.
