Powering On the Array
Use this procedureto turn power on for all trays installed in the cabinet (FIGURE 4-1).
Note – The order in which you power up the trays is important. Be sure to power
on the controller tray last in order to ensure that the disks in the expansion trays
have enough time to spin completely before being scanned by the redundant array
of independent disks (RAID) controllers in the controller tray.
