Connect The Array To The Network - Dell EqualLogic PS4210 Installation And Setup Manual

PS4210 Installation Guide
– Plug the power cables into a grounded electrical outlet or a separate power source such
as an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) or a power distribution unit (PDU).The bottom
LED of the power supply will be illuminated green (indicating power is present) when
power cables are connected.
– Each UPS (not included) should be on a different circuit and must provide the correct
type of voltage for an adequate amount of time.
– Alternately, connect one power supply and cooling module to a UPS system and connect
the other module to a different source of power.
Caution: Do not turn on power to the array yet.

Connect the Array to the Network

The PS4210 array model includes two Type 19 control modules. Each Type 19 control module
includes two 10Gbase-T ports and two 10Gbe SFP+ p orts. Of each pair, one is labeled Ethernet
0 and the other is labeled Ethernet 1.
The control modules also include one 10Mb/100Mb port labeled Management. The management
port cannot carry iSCSI traffic. Use the management port only if you configure a management
network. See the Dell EqualLogic Group Manager Administrator's Manual for more information.
Obtain the appropriate number of copper or optical 10GbE network cables.
Note: Optical cables transmit data through pulses of light. It is very important to route all optical
cables with no more than a 4-inch bend radius at any point between the array and the switch.
One functioning network connection is required for array operation. Multiple network
connections are recommended for performance and high availability. See Minimum and
Recommended Cable Configurations on page
Turning On the Array
Before turning on power, allow sufficient time for the array to adjust to ambient temperature (for
example, overnight).
You can turn on the power to one power supply first (either one), or both at the same
