Dell EqualLogic FS7610 Hardware Owner's Manual 1 Basic Appliance Information
Figure 4: Secure the Power Cable with the Strain Relief
The appliance turns on as soon as the power supplies are connected to a live power source.
Each controller contains a backup power supply (BPS). The BPS batteries begin to charge when the appliance is connected to power. A full charge takes up to eight hours to complete; the NAS appliance is not fully redundant until the battery is fully charged. The BPS provides the clustered solution enough time to write all cached data to disk if the controller experiences a loss of power.
4. Check the LED on the front panel to make sure the appliance is operational (see Figure 2).

Turning Power On and Off

Normally, the appliance turns on when the power cables are connected to a source of live power. An LED indicator on the front of the appliance indicates if power is supplied to the appliance and if the appliance is operational. However, each controller has a power button on its back (the power LED) that enables you to turn off power to an individual controller for service purposes.
In addition, the power supplies have an LED that shows if power is present or if a power fault has occurred, as described in Table 5.

If you need to replace a controller, turn off the power to start a shutdown. Use a small, thin tool such as a #1 Phillips screwdriver to press and release the power LED button on the back of the controller you plan to remove. See Figure 5.
Figure 5: Turning the Controller Power On or Off
Turning Controller Power On
If you shut down power to a controller, or replace a failed controller, you might need to turn it back on manually. Use a small, thin tool such as a #1 Phillips screwdriver to press and release the power LED button on the controller.
The power LED first appears solid amber, then slowly blinks to indicate that the controller is powering up. The LED blinks green when the controller loads the operating system, and changes to solid green when the controller is clustered and fully functional. See Table 5 for a description of all the power supply LED states.

Required Tools

If you are installing the appliance in a rack, you will need a #2 Phillips screwdriver (not supplied).
