Connecting a power cord
About this task
Attention: This product can be used only with an approved power cord for your specific geographic
region. Use of an unapproved power cord might result in:
v Not meeting individual country-specific safety requirements;
v Overheating with potential personal injury or property damage; and
v A fracture that results in exposed internal contacts, which potentially subjects the user to a shock
hazard.
For every power supply in the library, complete the following steps.
Procedure
1. Remove the protective label from the power receptacle on your library.
2. Plug one end of the power cord (▌6▐ in “Connecting the host interface cable” on page 53) into each
power supply connector on the back panel of the library.
3. Plug the other end of each power cord into the nearest properly grounded power outlet. Use separate
power sources for each power supply for redundant power.
Attention: To disconnect all power from the library, remove the power cord from each outlet. The
power button removes power from portions of the library and the drives, but the power supplies still
have AC power at their inputs.
4. Remove the protective plastic on the exterior surfaces of the library.
5. Turn ON the library with the power button. Check the Operator Control Panel display to make sure
that the library is receiving power. If it is not, check the power connections and your power source.
During the Power-On Self Test (POST), all four LEDs are illuminated briefly, followed by a flashing
Ready LED. When the initialization sequence is complete, the Home screen (see “Power-ON display”
on page 20) displays.
Configuring your library
Note: Review the information in “Installation planning” on page 27 before your library is configured.
The library is configured with the Operator Control Panel or the Web User Interface. The recommended
method for configuring your library is with the Web User Interface.
For complete detailed configuration information about all of the functions available on your library with
both the Operator Control Panel and the Web User Interface, see “Operations” on page 81. For default
library settings, see “Configure: Save/Restore” on page 105
