This section explains how to turn on the ETERNUS DX.
To turn on the ETERNUS DX, perform the following procedure.
Via the power switch
•
Press the Power switch to turn on the ETERNUS DX.
The following methods can be used to turn the power on by linking with the server.
Power Synchronized Unit
•
Use the power synchronized unit to turn on the ETERNUS DX.
Wake On LAN
•
Use the Wake On LAN function to turn on the power.
Before turning on the ETERNUS DX, make sure that the main line switches of the power distribution units and
the PSU switches on the power supply units of the ETERNUS DX are "ON". Do not turn the main line switches of
the power distribution units and the PSU switches on the ETERNUS DX to the OFF position.
After turning the power on, it takes approximately five minutes for the ETERNUS DX to reach the READY
•
state (the READY LED turns on). If an error is detected in a component during the initial power-on diagnostics, it may take up to 10 minutes for the ETERNUS DX to reach the READY state. This should be taken into
consideration for scheduled operations.
Before turning the server on, check that the ETERNUS DX and the network devices that connect the ETER-
•
NUS DX and the server are all in READY status.
If the server is turned on while any of these devices are not in READY status, the server may not be able to
recognize the ETERNUS DX.
To turn on the ETERNUS DX by linking with the server, the server must wait until the ETERNUS DX is in the
•
READY state.
If the Auto Power function is enabled via ETERNUS Web GUI or ETERNUS CLI, the ETERNUS DX is automatical-
•
ly turned on when power is supplied to the ETERNUS DX.
If the Power Resume function is enabled via ETERNUS Web GUI or ETERNUS CLI, the ETERNUS DX is automat-
•
ically turned on after the power is restored.
After power-off, wait for about one minute before turning power on again.
•
If the ETERNUS DX is not turned off normally due to problems such as a power failure, it takes approximate-
•
ly five minutes (max.) longer to reach the READY state the next time the ETERNUS DX is turned on.
This section explains how to use the Power switch to turn on the ETERNUS DX.
For other procedures, refer to the related manuals.
This section explains how to use the Power switch to turn off the ETERNUS DX.
For other procedures, refer to the related manuals.
When the ETERNUS DX is turned off, the power shuts off after the write data in the cache memory is written
back to the drives. As a result, it may take approximately five minutes or up to 10 minutes maximum for
the power supply to be completely turned off.
Do not turn off the power of the ETERNUS DX and the network devices that connect the ETERNUS DX to a
server while the server is operating. This may result in the loss of data or prevent data from being saved in
the ETERNUS DX.
When using a power synchronized unit for power control, turn off the power of the ETERNUS DX via the power synchronized unit. When a power synchronized unit is connected, the power of the ETERNUS DX is automatically turned on because the power synchronization function is activated.
To turn off the ETERNUS DX60 S4, use the Power switch, a power synchronized unit, ETERNUS Web GUI, or
ETERNUS CLI. If any other method is used to turn off the ETERNUS DX, the replacement cycle for the battery
is shortened significantly because the battery continues to charge and discharge.
After power-off, wait for about one minute before turning power on again.
1Press and hold the Power switch of the controller enclosure for four seconds or more.
The READY LED is turned off.
Press the Power switch only once. If the Power switch is pressed again between the time of the READY
LED turning off and the POWER LED turning off, the ETERNUS DX power may turn on.
2
The power of the ETERNUS DX is disconnected.
When the power is disconnected, the POWER LED is turned off.
This section explains how to use the FUNCTION button of the controller enclosure.
The following settings can be performed by using the FUNCTION button:
Switching the Master CM to the other controller
•
For the two controllers in the ETERNUS DX, the controller through which the ETERNUS DX is set up and operated is called the "Master CM", while the other controller is called the "Slave CM". The single-controller type
only has a "Master CM" controller.
Restoring the factory default settings (network environment settings and firewall settings) of the LAN ports
•
Restoring the factory default user settings (user account, role, and RADIUS settings)
•
The following procedure explains how to use the FUNCTION button.
1Remove the flange cover of the controller enclosure.
2Change the status of the ETERNUS DX to maintenance status.
Use the pin to push down the FUNCTION button for three seconds.
The ETERNUS DX is in maintenance status when the MAINTENANCE LED is green.

Maintenance Support Period
The standard maintenance support period for ETERNUS DX is five years from the date of purchase, or is defined
in your service level agreement (SLA). Contact your sales representative for details if you prefer to extend the
period.
Replacing Batteries
The batteries of the ETERNUS DX60 S4 are expendable components that need to be replaced periodically.
Batteries can be replaced during regular maintenance free of charge. For customers without a maintenance contract, replacement requests (payment required) must be made.
■
Replacement Cycle for a Battery
If a battery is used at an average temperature of 25 °C, the battery can be used for the entire maintenance support period (five years). The replacement cycle for a battery varies according to the customer's environment and
usage.
The replacement cycle for a battery is shortened if the battery is used at high tempera-
•
tures or the battery charges and discharges frequently.
■
Checking the Time to Replace the Battery
If the time to replace the battery is near, contact your maintenance engineer to re-
•
place the battery. If the battery is still used even after the replacement time has
passed, the performance of the ETERNUS DX60 S4 degrades because the operational
state of the cache is changed to Write Through mode.
The time to replace the battery can be checked by using the following options.
If the time to replace the battery is near, contact your maintenance engineer.
Check the time to replace the battery by using ETERNUS Web GUI or ETERNUS CLI.
•
If the time to replace the battery is near, a notification is sent via an e-mail or an SNMP trap message.
•
A notification is sent six months before the expiration date.
-
A notification is sent everyday for a week before the expiration date.
