PS6610 Hardware Owner's Manual 1 Basic Storage Array Information 4 Power Supply PSU0 (left) Unit (PSU) PSU1 (right) power supply has one switch. Power supply module for array Recommended Tools • When performing any type of work on the PS6610 array, including inserting and removing disk drives, you should always wear a wrist grounding strap (not provided) to protect the hardware from electrostatic discharge. See Hardware Protection. • To lock and unlock the drawers on the array, you will need a T20 Torx key (provided). Hardware Protection When handling array hardware, use an electrostatic wrist strap (not included) or a similar form of protection to protect your PS Series array from electrostatic discharge. To use a wrist strap: 1. Connect the steel snap on the coil cord to the stud on the elastic band. See Figure 6. Figure 6: Using an Electrostatic Wrist Strap 2. Fit the band tightly around your wrist. 3. Connect the band to ground. You can either plug the banana connector into a matching grounded receptacle, or attach it to the matching alligator clip and connect the clip to a grounded device. Examples of an appropriate ground would be an ESD mat or the metal frame of a grounded piece of equipment. Shutting Down and Restarting an Array The PS6610 array includes redundant, hot-swappable drives, power supplies, and control modules. You can remove a redundant component without affecting operation as long as a functioning component is available. Otherwise, Dell recommends that you cleanly shut down the array and turn off power before removing a component. Note: When an array is shut down, any volumes with data on the array will be set offline until the array is successfully restarted. Being offline affects initiators that are connected to the volumes. Array shutdown and restart procedure 1. Connect to the array in one of the following ways: 6
