Getting Started Powering Up the Storage System Note: It is recommended that you plug the storage system into a surge protector or uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to prevent damage to the system from power surges. Plug in the system and then press the power button on the front of the storage system. See letter "A" in the following figure. 1 2 A AF000239 Figure 12. Powering up the Storage System The System Status LED light blinks green while the storage system boots. Once the system is booted, the System Status LED and Disk Status LED remains green. The System Status LED turns solid yellow when you power up the system for the first time, indicating the hard drives are not configured with a RAID level. It remains yellow until the drives are configured then the Status System LED turns solid green. Powering Down the Storage System See "Shutting Down the Storage System" on page 77 for information on shutting down the storage system. Initializing your Storage System If your vendor installed the hard disks, they might have already been initialized. The operating system that runs the storage system is loaded on the hard drives as part of the initialization process. If your vendor did not initialize the disks, you must do so before you can configure and use your storage system. To determine whether or not your disks are initialized, and to initialize them if this was not done, install the Storage System Console on a computer in the same subnet as your storage system and use that application to connect to the storage system. 16 Intel® Entry Storage System SS4000-E User Guide

Powering Up the Storage System
Note:
It is recommended that you plug the storage system into a surge protector or
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to prevent damage to the system from power surges.
Plug in the system and then press the power button on the front of the storage system. See
letter “A” in the following figure.
Figure 12.
Powering up the Storage System
The System Status LED light blinks green while the storage system boots. Once the
system is booted, the System Status LED and Disk Status LED remains green.
The System Status LED turns solid yellow when you power up the system for the first
time, indicating the hard drives are not configured with a RAID level. It remains yellow
until the drives are configured then the Status System LED turns solid green.
Powering Down the Storage System
See
“Shutting Down the Storage System” on page 77
for information on shutting down
the storage system.
Initializing your Storage System
If your vendor installed the hard disks, they might have already been initialized. The
operating system that runs the storage system is loaded on the hard drives as part of the
initialization process. If your vendor did not initialize the disks, you must do so before you
can configure and use your storage system.
To determine whether or not your disks are initialized, and to initialize them if this was not
done, install the Storage System Console on a computer in the same subnet as your storage
system and use that application to connect to the storage system.
