Spectra Logic NTIER700 manual Connect the Power Cords

Chapter 2—Installing the nTier700

Connect the Power Cords

To provide chassis grounding and electrostatic discharge protection while you install the data drives, connect the power cords to the nTier700 before installing the drives.

DO NOT power-on the nTier700 until you finish installing ALL of the drives for the Caution first time. If you install the drives with the nTier700 powered on, the RAID controller

immediately begins rebuilding the RAID volume in the blade, which may destroy the preconfigured RAID 6 volume.

Use the following steps to connect the power cords.

1.Connect a power cord to each of the power supply connectors on the rear panel.
