3. Tighten the adjusting screws on both retainers until the power cords cannot be disconnected. 4. Connect the power cords to a power source with voltage of 200 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz. Note HP recommends the use of two separate PDUs and two separate power sources to maintain high reliability. Each PDU must have at least one C19 connector. Do not mount the PDUs to the left of the switch door. This will inhibit door operation. 5. Flip both green AC power switches to "1". The AC power switches light up green when switched on and power is being supplied. Each time the switch is powered on, it automatically performs POST, which is complete when indicator light activity returns to standard state. For more information about indicator light patterns, refer to "Interpreting LED Activity" on page 54. The entire boot process, including POST, takes a minimum of 5 minutes. To skip POST, use the fastboot command. For more information about this command, refer to the hp StorageWorks fabric os reference. A fast boot requires approximately two minutes to complete. CAUTION Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP addresses are configured. For instructions on setting the IP addresses, see the following section, Configuring the Switch. Configuring the Switch Overview The chassis contains two logical switches, each with its own configuration: one logical switch for any 16-port cards in slots 1-4, and one logical switch for any 16-port cards in slots 7-10. To ensure that the most current configuration remains available even if the active CP card fails, configuration information for both logical switches is 32 getting started and general reference guide

Tighten the adjusting screws on both retainers until the power cords
cannot be disconnected.
4.
Connect the power cords to a power source with voltage of 200 to 240
VAC, 50-60 Hz.
Note
HP recommends the use of two separate PDUs and two separate
power sources to maintain high reliability. Each PDU must have at least
one C19 connector. Do not mount the PDUs to the left of the switch door.
This will inhibit door operation.
5.
Flip both green AC power switches to “1”. The AC power switches light
up green when switched on and power is being supplied.
Each time the switch is powered on, it automatically performs POST, which
is complete when indicator light activity returns to standard state. For more
