Connecting Power and Booting the System

Connecting Power and Booting the System

To connect power to the device, follow these steps:

Step 1 Review the information in the “Safety Warnings” section on page 2-1.

Step 2 Plug the AC power cord into the power cord receptacle at the rear of the device. (See Figure 3-12.)

Step 3 Connect the other end of the power cord to a power source at your installation site. Step 4 Power up all externally connected devices.

Step 5 Press the power control button on the front of the device.

The system should begin booting. Once the operating system boots, you are ready to initialize the basic software configuration. (See the “Related Documentation” section on page xi for a list of software configuration documents.)

Note While the device is powering up, the power LED on the front of the chassis is green.

Checking the LEDs

When the device is up and running, observe the front panel LEDs. To verify that your system is operating properly, see the “LED Indicators” section on page 1-7.
