Attention:

To

avoid

damage

to

the

hardware,

take

special

care

when

you

restart

the

system

after

an

unexpected

shutdown.

If

the

storage

server

shuts

down

unexpectedly,

go

to

“Restoring

power

after

an

over-temperature

shutdown.”

Otherwise,

go

to

“Restoring

power

after

an

emergency

shutdown.”

Note:

Unattended

restoration

of

power

is

supported;

however,

if

power

restoration

is

attended,

you

should

follow

the

best

practices

guidelines

and

the

power

restoration

sequence

in

“Turning

on

the

storage

server”

on

page

66.

Performing

an

emergency

shutdown

Attention:

Emergency

situations

might

include

fire,

flood,

extreme

weather

conditions,

or

other

hazardous

circumstances.

If

a

power

outage

or

emergency

situation

occurs,

always

turn

off

all

power

switches

on

all

computing

equipment.

This

will

help

safeguard

your

equipment

from

potential

damage

due

to

electrical

surges

when

power

is

restored.

If

the

storage

server

loses

power

unexpectedly,

it

might

be

due

to

a

hardware

failure

in

the

power

system

or

midplane

(see

Chapter

6,

“Hardware

maintenance,”

on

page

111).

Use

this

procedure

to

shut

down

the

storage

server

during

an

emergency:

1.

If

you

have

time,

stop

all

I/O

activity

to

the

storage

server

by

shutting

down

the

host

or

disconnecting

the

storage

server

logical

drives

through

the

host.

2.

Check

the

LEDs

(front

and

back).

Make

note

of

any

Fault

LEDs

that

are

on

so

you

can

correct

the

problem

when

you

turn

on

the

power

again.

3.

Turn

off

all

power-supply

switches;

then

unplug

the

power

cords

from

the

storage

server.

Restoring

power

after

an

emergency

shutdown

Use

this

procedure

to

restart

the

storage

server

if

you

turned

off

the

power-supply

switches

during

an

emergency

shutdown,

or

if

a

power

failure

or

a

power

outage

occurred:

1.

After

the

emergency

situation

is

over

or

power

is

restored,

check

the

storage

server

for

damage.

If

there

is

no

visible

damage,

continue

with

step

2;

otherwise,

have

your

system

serviced.

2.

After

you

have

checked

for

damage,

ensure

that

the

power-supply

switches

are

off;

then

plug

in

the

storage-server

power

cords.

3.

Complete

step

2

on

page

66

to

determine

the

proper

power-on

sequence

for

your

system.

4.

Complete

steps

3

and

4

on

page

66

to

turn

on

power

to

the

devices

in

your

system

and

to

check

the

status

of

the

storage

server.

Restoring

power

after

an

over-temperature

shutdown

Use

this

procedure

to

restart

the

storage

server

after

an

unexpected

shutdown

due

to

an

over-temperature

condition:

1.

Make

sure

that

the

power-supply

switches

on

the

back

of

the

storage

server

are

turned

off.

2.

Do

whatever

is

necessary

to

cool

the

unit

(replace

the

fans,

use

external

fans

to

cool

the

room,

and

so

on).

3.

Check

all

components

and

cables

for

visible

damage.

Do

not

start

the

storage

server

if

you

find

evidence

of

damage.
