The LEDs have a comparable meaning to the LEDs on the AC power supply.
Problem diagnosis and service procedures are the same. For details, see “Powering
on the system” on page 50.
Connecting a DC power supply to a DC power source
A Storwize V3700 enclosure that is DC powered contains two DC power supply
units (PSUs). Each unit must be connected to a suitable -48V DC power source. To
provide redundancy in a power circuit failure, connect the two PSUs to different
DC power sources.
Use the supplied cables to connect the DC PSUs to the power sources. Use only
the IBM supplied DC power cable (IBM part number 00AR087) to connect the unit
to a DC power source.
Each PSU cable must be protected by a 20A circuit breaker. These instructions
assume that the circuit breaker is separate from the DC power distribution unit.
Refer to the DC power distribution unit documentation and the circuit breaker
