About this task
This task provides instructions for powering on the InfiniBox rack.
Before you begin
Verify that:
- The machine is located and cabled
- Disks are inserted
- The machine is grounded
- It is important to follow the steps as ordered
- The PDUs are connected to source A first, then power-on, then connected to source B
- Power on the enclosures before powering on the nodes
Procedure
- Verify that all of the Enclosures switches are OFF (two switches on each Enclosure).
- Verifying the power sources:
- The system has one power cable for each PDU (the system has either 2 or 4 PDUs).
- In 2 PDUs formation, each PDU is connected to a power source.
- In 4 PDUs formation, PDUs from each side of the system is connected to a power source.
- To verify that the machine is correctly fed from two separate power sources:
- Turn on power source A, that feeds the left-side PDUs
- Verify that the left-side PDU outlets are on
- Turn on power source B
- Verify that the right-side PDU outlets are on.
- The system has one power cable for each PDU (the system has either 2 or 4 PDUs).
- Turn on the machine
- If the enclosures are not yet turned on, turn them on now (the two switches are located one on each PSU).
- Turn on the 3 BBUs by pressing the On button for 3 seconds:
- The nodes should turn on automatically.
- Verify that the nodes are turned on.
- The system starts activation only the average BBU load is above 50%
- In case that the nodes are not turned on, verify that the UPSs are at least 80% loaded.
- If the enclosures are not yet turned on, turn them on now (the two switches are located one on each PSU).
Expected result
The InfiniBox is On.
Troubleshooting
- Verify that the power cables are connected to the BBUs and to the 1U drawer (ATSs)
- Contact support
