Step 10: Power On The Devices - HP 353803-B22 - StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 1000 SAN Starter Installation Manual

Step 10: Power on the devices

After the MSA and its storage enclosures are installed and connected to the SAN, complete the
following steps to power on all of the devices in the SAN, and verify that they are operating
properly.
1. Apply power to the following devices, and verify that they are in a ready state:
• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
• External Fibre Channel switches
2. Power on all attached storage enclosures.
NOTE: Proceed to the next step only after confirming that the external storage enclosures have
completed their startup routines; otherwise, the MSA array may not properly discover the storage.
3. Wait for the storage enclosures to complete their startup routines.
4. Press and release the Power on/Standby button on the front of the chassis to start the MSA array.
