Setting Up a PS Series Storage Array
Turn on Power to the Array
Before turning on power, allow enough time for the
array to adjust to ambient temperature and humidity
(for example, overnight).
The power switch on each power supply module is
located below the power plug. The switch is
oriented vertically. Turn on power to both power
supply modules (in any order).
Note: Batteries will start to charge and some
hardware components may start to synchronize
when power is turned on. Array LEDs will indicate
this normal activity.
