4.4 Power Off Procedure

To power down the EMD subsystem, please follow these steps:

NOTE:

When powering down the EMD subsystem, please ensure that no time-consuming processes, like a “Logical Drive Parity Regeneration” or a “Media Scan,” are taking place.

Step 1.Stop I/O access to the system.

Stop all I/O accesses to the SS16i subsystem. Please refer to the related documentation of your applications.

Step 2. Flush the cache.

Locate the Cache_Dirty LED on the back of controller module to check if there is data cached in the memory. Use the Shutdown Controller function to flush all cached data. This prepares the RAID subsystem to be safely powered down.

Step 3. Turn off the power.

Turn off the power. Once the RAID subsystem has been powered down, other devices connected to the subsystem can be powered down.
