Verifying the SAN Volume Controller 2145-DH8 installation
You must verify the installation after the installation has completed.
Before you begin
This task shows you how to verify the installation after you install the system in the rack and connect it to the storage area network (SAN) and the Ethernet.
Note: If at any point the system does not operate as described, see MAP 5000: Start, unless a
different maintenance analysis procedure (MAP) is specified.
Procedure
To verify the installation, complete the following steps.
-
Press the power-control button. Because the button is recessed, you might
need a pointed device, such as a screwdriver, to press the power-control button. Verify that
the green power LED is lit. If the LED is not illuminated, see MAP 5000: Start to repair the
problem.
Note: You do not need to install any software. The node boots automatically.
The system runs an extended series of power-on self-tests. The node might appear to be idle for up to 5 minutes after powering on the system.
Figure 1 shows the controls and indicators on the front panel that verify the installation. Figure 2 is a close-up view of the operator-information panel.
