Powering off the storage system
Procedure
1. Press the main switch for three seconds until the POWER LED blinks.
2. Verify the POWER LED on the front of the storage system changes from
green to amber.
Wait 25 minutes to 4 hours for the POWER LED to turn amber, depending
on the system configuration (check after 33 minutes).
3. To stop the power supply, remove the power cables from the power
supply units on the controller chassis and drive box.
If the storage system is connected to a PDU, you can stop the power
supply by turning off the PDU breaker.
Note: If the storage system does not receive power for more than
six months, the battery can become discharged and possibly
damaged. To avoid this situation, charge the battery for more than
three hours at least once every six months.
