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 SAN Volume Controller
2145-DH8 runs an
extended series of power-on self-tests. The node might appear to be idle for up to five 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.
