Powering Up the SSA

To connect the SSA to the power sources, follow these steps:

  1. Plug a power cord into each power supply‘s AC power receptacle.
  2. Plug the cord into a dedicated grounded AC outlet as shown in Connecting Power to the SSA.
    In the case of a two power supply configuration, to take advantage of redundancy capabilities, plug each power cord into a separate dedicated AC outlet.
  3. Secure each power cord to the SSA by tying the power cords to the plastic brackets, adjacent to the power supply bays, with customer-supplied zip ties.

The PWR LED, located on the front panel, turns ON (green) and the CPU LED turns red until the SSA completes its initialization.

When the initialization process is successful, the CPU LED turns green. If the CPU LED does not turn green, refer to Troubleshooting.
