Chapter 7 Operation of 5U enclosures 49
IMPORTANT Only after you successfully complete the installation checklist can you complete system
setup and begin operation of the storage enclosure.
To apply power to the 5U enclosure:
1. If you removed power to repair the storage enclosure, begin by facing the rear of the rack cabinet and
connect the plug for each of the power to an independent power distribution unit (PDU). The second power
supply unit (PSU) provides the first PSU with redundant power.
IMPORTANT The storage enclosure design requires two redundant power supply units (PSUs). You
must plug each power cord into an independent power distribution unit (PDU) that connects to an
uninterruptible power system.
