HPE StoreVirtual 3200

Operating the storage system
For information on using the HPE StoreVirtual Management Console, see the StoreVirtual Management
Console online help or user guide.
Supported UPS
The SV32x0 supports using any online or double conversion UPS. The switchover time of an offline,
standby, or line-interactive UPS may be too long to provide consistent and reliable power.
Powering on the storage system
NOTE:
There is no power switch on the enclosure. Power is applied to the enclosure immediately when
connected to a live power source.
Procedure
1. Connect a power cord from the power source to each drive enclosure.
IMPORTANT:
The best practice is to power on the drive enclosures before the array enclosure. This order
ensures that all disk drives have spun up and that all of the storage is discovered.
2. Connect two power supply cords from the power source to the array enclosure.
3. Wait a few minutes for all the components to complete their power-on self test routines and complete
initialization, then verify the system operating status by checking the LED displays. For more
information on interpreting the LED displays, see Status LED descriptions on page 15.
Powering off the storage system
There is no way to power off the entire storage system (controllers and drive enclosures) from a software
interface. Power off the array enclosure before powering off any disk enclosures.
• To power off an array enclosure, remove both power cords.
• To power off a storage controller, use the Recovery/Power button on the rear of the controller. (See
Recovery/power button for more information.)
• To power off an enclosure, remove the power cord from the wall socket.
Status LED descriptions
Various LEDs display the current operating status of the array enclosure and the drive enclosures. If a
problem is indicated, perform the following to help identify the source of the problem:
• Check all cable connections between the devices.
• Check the availability of the power source.
