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.
- Connect power supply 1 and power supply 2 to a live AC supply. The
SAN Volume Controller node begins to power on. The Power
LED should be solidly on after a few seconds, but if it continues to flash after one minute, press
the power-control button. 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-SV1 runs an
extended series of power-on self-tests. The node might appear to be idle for up to five minutes
after it powers on.
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.

- 4 Node fault LED
- 5 Battery status LED
- Verify that the node boots without error. The Node status LED should slowly flash and the Node fault LED should be off. If the node
fault LED is lit, see the "Troubleshooting" section of the documentation. When the battery charge is
low, the battery status LED flashes. When the batteries are fully charged, the battery status LED is
on. The battery fault LEDs should be off.
Results
The installation of the
SAN Volume Controller hardware
is now complete. No software installation is required.
