Installation procedures—All deployments52
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. Press and release the Power on/Standby button on the front of the chassis to start the MSA array.
The LED on the Power on/Standby button changes from amber to solid green, indicating that the
MSA has been powered on.
4. Wait (up to four minutes) for the MSA to complete its startup routine.
NOTE: In dual-controller configurations, each time the MSA is restarted, firmware on the
two controllers is compared. If the versions are mismatched, the system prompts to clone the
firmware on the controller with the latest version (higher number) over to the controller with
the earlier version (lower number) firmware. The following message is displayed on the LCD
panel of the controller with the earlier firmware:
07 CLONE FIRMWARE? ‘<‘= NO, ‘>’= YES
Press the > button on the LCD panel to clone the firmware. In dual-controller configurations,
the firmware on the controllers must be the same version.
5. Press the ^ and v LCD panel message buttons on the front of each MSA controller to review the
startup messages and look for the following message:
Startup Complete
NOTE: Proceed to the next step only after the Startup Complete message is displayed. If
you power on (or restart) the server before the MSA array completes its start-up sequence, the
server may not properly discover the storage.
6. Power on the servers in the SAN with access to the MSA, start the operating system, and log on
as a user with administrative control.
