3. Wait a few minutes for the disk enclosures to complete their startup routines. CAUTION: If power is applied to the server before the disk enclosures complete their startup routine, the server might not properly discover the storage. 4. Power on (or restart) the server with access to the disk enclosures, start the operating system, and log on as administrator. CAUTION: When you power on the server, the monitor might display a "New Hardware Found" message. Cancel out of this window to prevent the installation of unsupported software. 5. Verify that each component is operating properly. Powering off disk enclosures CAUTION: Be sure that the server is the first unit to be powered down and the last to be powered back up. Taking this precaution ensures that the system does not erroneously mark the disk drives as failed when the server is powered up. IMPORTANT: If installing a hot-plug device, it is not necessary to power down the enclosure. To power off a disk enclosure: 1. Power down any attached servers. See the server documentation. 2. Power down the disk enclosures. Press and hold the power on/standby button on the rear of the disk enclosure for three seconds or until the system power LED changes from green to amber. 3. Disconnect the power cords. The system is now without power. Shutting down the storage system from HP P6000 Command View 1. Start HP P6000 Command View. 2. Select the appropriate storage system in the Navigation pane. The Initialized Storage System Properties window for the selected storage system opens. 3. Click Shut down. The Shutdown Options window opens. 4. Under System Shutdown click Power Down. If you want to delay the initiation of the shutdown, enter the number of minutes in the Shutdown delay field. The controllers complete an orderly shutdown and then power off. The disk enclosures then power off. Wait for the shutdown to complete. 5. Turn off the power to the rack power distribution units. Even though the disk enclosures are powered off in Step 4, unless the power on the rack distribution units are turned off, the I/O modules remain powered on in a standby state. Shutting down the storage system from the array controller 1. Push and hold the UID push button on the front panel of the P6300/P6500 EVA (see callout 2 in Figure 1 (page 22)). 2. Wait 4 seconds. The power button and the green LED start to blink. NOTE: Holding the power switch button for less than 4 seconds does nothing. 3. Between 4 and 10 seconds, release the button. The button continues to blink and the firmware starts the shutdown process (LED becomes solid amber, flushes the cache, disables the batteries). 40 P6300/P6500 EVA operation

Powering off disk enclosures
CAUTION:
Be sure that the server is the first unit to be powered down and the last to be powered
back up. Taking this precaution ensures that the system does not erroneously mark the disk drives
as failed when the server is powered up.
IMPORTANT:
If installing a hot-plug device, it is not necessary to power down the enclosure.
To power off a disk enclosure:
1.
Power down any attached servers. See the server documentation.
