, it takes approximately seven minutes to reach the READY state (READY LED
turns on) after the ETERNUS AF is turned on. If an error is detected in a component during the initial
power-on diagnostics, it may take a maximum of 12 minutes (or a maximum of 18 minutes for a configuration in which the Deduplication/Compression function is enabled) for the ETERNUS AF to reach the
READY state. If a scheduled operation is being performed, make configurations by taking the operation
into consideration.
For the ETERNUS AF650, it takes approximately five minutes to reach the READY state (READY LED turns
•
on) after the ETERNUS AF is turned on. If an error is detected in a component during the initial power-on
diagnostics, it may take a maximum of 10 minutes (or a maximum of 11 minutes for a configuration in
which the Deduplication/Compression function is enabled) for the ETERNUS AF to reach the READY state.
If a scheduled operation is being performed, make configurations by taking the operation into consideration.
Before turning the server on, check that the ETERNUS AF and the network devices that connect the ETER-
•
NUS AF 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 AF.
To turn on the ETERNUS AF by linking with the server, the server must wait until the ETERNUS AF is in
•
the READY state.
If the Auto Power function is enabled via ETERNUS Web GUI or ETERNUS CLI, the ETERNUS AF is automat-
•
ically turned on when power is supplied to the ETERNUS AF.
If the Power Resume function is enabled via ETERNUS Web GUI or ETERNUS CLI, the ETERNUS AF is auto-
•
matically turned on after the power is restored.
If the REMOTE LED of the ETERNUS AF is green, turn on the ETERNUS AF via a power synchronized unit.
•
After power-off, wait for about one minute before turning power on again.
•
If the ETERNUS AF is not turned off normally due to problems such as a power failure, it takes approxi-
•
mately 10 minutes (max.) longer to reach the READY state the next time the ETERNUS AF is turned on.
This section explains how to use the Power switch to turn on the ETERNUS AF.
For other procedures, refer to the related manuals.
1Press the Power switch of the controller enclosure.
The POWER LEDs on the controller enclosure and the drive enclosures are turned on.

Via the power synchronized unit
•
Use the power synchronized unit to turn off the ETERNUS AF.
ETERNUS AF, perform one of the procedures below.
When the ETERNUS AF
•
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 eight 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 AF and the network devices that connect the ETERNUS AF 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 AF.
When using a power synchronized unit for power control, turn off the power of the ETERNUS AF via the
•
power synchronized unit. When a power synchronized unit is connected, the power of the ETERNUS AF is
automatically turned on because the power synchronization function is activated.
If the REMOTE LED on the ETERNUS AF is green, turn off the ETERNUS AF by linking with the server.
•
Pressing the Power switch does not turn off the ETERNUS AF.
To turn off the ETERNUS AF, 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 AF, 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.
