Powering-On the Storage System
CAUTION! The storage system should be powered-on first to allow access to all filesets
during the boot process. The disk modules in the four upper slots have delayed spin-up,
so if the boot process starts before all the disks are online, some of the filesets may not
be mounted.
CAUTION! Do not operate the storage system if it has been exposed to temperature
extremes. Damage to the disk and tape modules may occur if the storage system does
not stabilize at room temperature for two hours before operation.
To power-on the storage system:
1. Lift the storage system power switch cover if the front door is closed.
2. Press in the storage system power switch to the power-on position.
3. A3312A/12AZ Only: Press the cabinet power switch to the power-on position (see Figure 58).
4. The storage system will perform the power-on sequence (see “Power-On Sequence”).
Power-On Sequence
1. The four lower storage modules power-on and begin simultaneous self-tests for approximately 20
seconds.
2. The four upper storage modules power-on and begin self-tests in the order of their SCSI IDs. The disk
module status lights are green.
3. When the self-tests have completed, the disk module status lights and DDS tape module status lights
will be off.
