1. Complete the hardware installation or replacement, and then connect the storage array to a server.
See Chapter 6 “Installing, removing, or replacing hardware” on page 31 and “Connecting the storage
arrays” on page 19.
Note: Ensure that the SAS signal cables between the storage array and server are connected securely.
2. Connect the storage array to an ac power source. The power-status LED on the front panel is lit in green.
