Installation and Setup Guide 3 Connecting the Array Cables - Each UPS (not included) should be on a different circuit and must provide the correct type of voltage for an adequate amount of time. - Alternately, connect one power supply and cooling module to a UPS system and connect the other module to a different source of power. Caution: Do not turn on power to the array yet. Figure 6: Connecting the Power Cables Connect the Array to the Network The PS4110 array model includes two Type 17 control modules. The Type 17 control module contains two 10Gb Ethernet ports, both labeled Ethernet 0. One port is a 10GBASE-T port, the other port is an SFP+ port. Only one of these 10Gb Ethernet ports can be used at a time. The control modules also include one 10Mb/100Mb port labeled Management. The management port cannot carry iSCSI traffic. Use the management port only if you configure a management network. See the Dell EqualLogic Group Manager Administrator's Manual for more information. Obtain the appropriate number of copper or optical 10GbE network cables. Note: Optical cables transmit data through pulses of light. It is very important to route all optical cables with no more than a 4-inch bend radius at any point between the array and the switch. One functioning network connection is required for array operation. Multiple network connections are recommended for performance and high availability. See Minimum and Recommended Cable Configurations on page 10 for additional information. Turning On the Array Before turning on power, allow sufficient time for the array to adjust to ambient temperature (for example, overnight). Note: You can turn on the power to one power supply first (either one), or both at the same time. 1. Find the power switch, located below the power plug on each power supply. 12

Connecting
the
Array
Cables
–
Each
UPS
(not
included)
should
be
on
a
different
circuit
and
must
provide
the
correct
type
of
voltage
for
an
adequate
amount
of
time.
–
Alternately,
connect
one
power
supply
and
cooling
module
to
a
UPS
system
and
connect
the
other
mod-
ule
to
a
different
source
of
power.
Caution:
Do
not
turn
on
power
to
the
array
yet.

The
PS4110
array
model
includes
two
Type
17
control
modules.
The
Type
17
control
module
contains
two
10Gb
Ethernet
ports,
both
labeled
Ethernet
0.
One
port
is
a
10GBASE-T
port,
the
other
port
is
an
SFP+
port.
Only
one
of
these
10Gb
Ethernet
ports
can
be
used
at
a
time.
The
control
modules
also
include
one
10Mb/100Mb
port
labeled
Management.
The
management
port
cannot
carry
iSCSI
traffic.
Use
the
management
port
only
if
you
configure
a
management
network.
See
the
Dell
EqualLogic
Group
Manager
Administrator's
Manual
for
more
information.
Obtain
the
appropriate
number
of
copper
or
optical
10GbE
network
cables.
Note:
Optical
cables
transmit
data
through
pulses
of
light.
It
is
very
important
to
route
all
optical
cables
with
no
more
than
a
4-inch
bend
radius
at
any
point
between
the
array
and
the
switch.
One
functioning
network
connection
is
required
for
array
operation.
Multiple
network
connections
are
recommended
for
performance
and
high
availability.
See
Minimum
and
Recommended
Cable
Configurations
on
page
10
for
additional
information.
Turning
On
the
Array
Before
turning
on
power,
allow
sufficient
time
for
the
array
to
adjust
to
ambient
temperature
(for
example,
overnight).
Note:
You
can
turn
on
the
power
to
one
power
supply
first
(either
one),
or
both
at
the
same
time.
1.
Find
the
power
switch,
located
below
the
power
plug
on
each
power
supply.
