    Powering Up a VNX5500 for Block System


    This procedure powers up the VNX5500 for Block systems in an orderly sequence.

    Task 1: Power Up the VNX for Block System


    This task powers up the VNX system in a proper sequence:
    1. [ ] Verify that the master switch/circuit breakers for each cabinet power strip are OFF.
    2. [ ] Verify that the power switches on SPS A and SPS B are in the OFF position (Figure 1).

    Figure 1 Power Switch Locations

    3. [ ] Ensure that the power cable for SP A is plugged into SPS A and the power cord retention
    bail is locked.
    4. [ ] Ensure that the power cable for SP B is plugged into SPS B and the power cord retention
    bail is locked.
    5. [ ] Verify that the following sense cable serial connections are in place:
    SP A to SPS A
    SP B to SPS B
    6. [ ] Verify that the power cables for the SPSs are plugged into the appropriate cabinet power
    strips on either side of the rack in a manner ensuring high availability and the power cable retention
    bails are locked.
    7. [ ] Verify that the power cables for any additional DAEs are plugged into the appropriate
    cabinet power strips on either side of the rack in a manner ensuring high availability and the power
    cable retention bails are locked.
    8. [ ] Turn the SPS power switches ON (Figure 1).
    9. [ ] Ensure that any other devices in the cabinet are correctly installed and ready for power
    up.
    10. [ ] Turn on the master switch/circuit breakers for each cabinet power strip.
    In a 40U EMC cabinet, the master switches are on the power distribution panels (PDPs).
    The storage system can take 10-12 minutes to complete a typical power up. Amber warning LEDs
    flash during the power on self-test (POST) and then go off. The front fault LED and the SPS recharge
    LEDs commonly stay on for several minutes while the SPSs are charging.
    11. [ ] Powerup is complete when the SP power LED on each SP is steady green (Figure 2).

    If amber LEDs on the front or back of the storage system remain on for more than 10 minutes, make sure
    the system is correctly cabled, and then refer to the Troubleshooting Trees on the EMC Support page for
    the storage system. If you cannot determine any reasons for the fault, contact EMC support.
