20. Power On Added Block
20. Power On Added Block
On each PMF CRU or IOMF CRU in the added block, press and hold the power-on
button for two seconds before releasing it. The location of the power-on button is
shown in Figure 6-5 on page 6-29.
Pressing the power-on button on one PMF CRU or IOMF CRU causes the other PMF
CRU or IOMF CRU in the same enclosure to power on as well. The power-on cables
between the enclosures of the added block then carry the power-on signal to the rest
of the enclosures of the block.
All CRUs in the block you just added should start automatically. They might take
several minutes to run their power-on self-tests (POSTs). Verify that all CRUs are
operating:
•
The amber LEDs on disk drives and on CRUs installed in slots 50 through 55
become lit briefly as these CRUs are brought up. However, if any of these amber
LEDs remain lit for more than five minutes, see POST Fails on page 7-9.
•
Green LEDs should be lit.
•
The fans on the appearance side of the enclosures of the block should be working.
If ambient noise prevents you from hearing whether the fans are working check for
air flow by holding your hand at the grill located just above slots 51, 52, 53, and 54.
