About the power
supplies
The FAS250, FAS270, and FAS270c appliances and DS14mk2 disk shelves are
shipped with two power supplies, labeled PSU1 and PSU2, respectively. Each
power supply has its own AC power cord. You should have separate circuit
breakers for each power supply, for redundancy.
Connecting your
appliance to power
To connect your appliance to a power source, complete the following steps.
Step
Action
1
Make sure that your appliance is turned off.
2
Plug the power cord for PSU1 into the power receptacle on the left
connector (rear view).
3
Plug the power cord for PSU2 into the power receptacle on the right
connector (rear view).
4
Fasten the power cords with the hold-down clamps.
5
Plug the other end of each power cord into a grounded AC power
source.
6
Turn on the power switch for both power supplies.
Note
The default spin-up time for all disks in the appliance is 60 seconds.
Reduce this spin-up time to 20 seconds by turning on the switches of
both power supplies within 5 seconds of each other.
7
After turning on your system for the first time, run diagnostics to
make sure that it is functioning properly and to diagnose any
hardware problems. See the
Diagnostics Guide
for more information.
