System information

VNX™ System Operations16 of 114 Release 7.0
The powerup is complete when the SP power LED on each SP is steady green.
See "Location of Storage Processor power and status LEDs" on page 16.
If amber LEDs on the front or back of the storage system remain on for more than
10 minutes, make sure that the system is correctly cabled, and then refer to the
Troubleshooting Trees on the EMC Support page for the storage system. If you
cannot determine any reasons for the fault, contact your authorized service
provider.

6. Turn the SPS power switches ON..
7. Ensure that any other devices in the cabinet are correctly installed and ready for power
up.
8. Turn on the master switch/circuit breakers for each cabinet power strip.
In a 40U EMC cabinet, the master switches are on the power distribution panels (PDPs).
The storage system can take 10-12 minutes to complete a typical power up. Amber
warning LEDs flash during the power on self-test (POST) and then go off. The front fault
LED and the SPS recharge LEDs commonly stay on for several minutes while the SPSs
are charging.
