Verify that the cabinet circuit breakers are in the ON position. If you are installing the 
VNX5300 into an existing cabinet that contains other components, do not turn off the cabinet 
circuit breakers. 
    A yellow circle with a number indicates the power cable number.
1.  Connect the SPS power A to power distribution unit (PDU) A.
2.  Connect SPS A to SP A. 
3.  Connect optional SPS power B to PDP B.
4.  Connect SPS B to SP B. If (optional) SPS B is not present, connect SP B to PDU B.     
5.  Lock each power cable in place and turn the SPS switches ON. This will bring up the system  
  in 10-15 minutes. Monitor the system as it powers up. The LEDs will show the progression of  
  the power. Green, blue, and amber activity lights blink during the power-on period. The    
  LEDs will then become steady ON and the fault LEDs will be off, showing no fault. Make sure  
  the power-up is complete before you continue with the next task.
