Turning off the existing hardware

You must turn off the existing system before you turn on any new Expansion shelves. Be sure to perform these steps in the order that they are presented.

To turn off the existing hardware

  1. Perform a soft shutdown of any compute nodes. If you have two compute nodes you must shut them down separately.

    • From the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu, enter Support > Shutdown, or from the Flex Appliance Shell, enter system > shutdown.

    • Verify that the compute node is completely turned off. All LEDs are off. Fans are not running.

    • Repeat these steps for a second compute node if applicable.

  2. After the compute nodes are turned off you must manually turn off the storage shelves.

    • Turn off the Primary shelf first.

    • Then turn off the Expansion shelf.

    • If you have a second Expansion shelf turn it off last.

  3. Locate the on/off switches on the two power supplies on the rear of the storage shelves. The switches are in the same location for the Primary shelf and for the Expansion shelves.
  4. Press the switches on the Primary shelf to off.
  5. Press the switches on the Expansion shelf that is closest to the Primary shelf to off.
  6. If you have a second Expansion shelf press the switches to off.
