Starting the VTL appliance
Powering up a VTL appliance is a two-step process. First, you apply standby power to bring
up the Integrated Lights Out Manger (ILOM) service processor. Then you apply main power
to start the VTL server and boot the Solaris operating system.
Caution – The VTL Value appliance requires 200 to 240 VAC.

Caution – Do not operate the server for longer than 60m seconds unless all fans, component
heat sinks, air baffles, and covers are installed. Severe damage to server components can
occur if the server is operated without adequate cooling mechanisms.
