Connecting an EVA6400 multi-product rack to a 0C6D expansion rack Follow the procedure in Connecting an EVA6400 multi-product rack to a 0C6D expansion rack to complete the expansion. You can skip the verification step (Step 2).

You can skip the verification step (Step 2) for each loop. Powering up the controllers To start a storage system, perform the following steps: 1. Verify that each fabric Fibre Channel switch to which the HSV controllers are connected is powered up and fully booted. The power indicator on each switch should be on. If you must power up the SAN switches, wait for them to complete their power-on boot process before proceeding. This may take several minutes. NOTE: Before applying power to the rack, ensure that the power switch on each HSV controller is off. 2. Power on the circuit breakers on both EVA rack PDUs. Verify that all drive enclosures are operating properly. The status indicator and the power indicator should be on (green). 3. Wait three minutes and then verify that all disk drives are ready. The drive ready indicator and the drive online indicator should be on (green). 4. Power on the upper controller (Controller A). It takes the role of master controller. 5. Wait 10 seconds and then power on the lower controller (Controller B). It takes the role of slave controller. 6. Verify that the Operator Control Panel (OCP) display on each controller displays the storage system name and the EVA WWN. 42 Connecting the main rack to the expansion rack
