Connect Power to the Expansion Shelf
Before you begin
Before you perform this task, you must have already installed the HPE expansion shelf in a rack.
Procedure
1. Plug the power cables into the power supplies on the back of the expansion shelf.
2. Plug the other end of the power cables into the power circuit.
To minimize the risk of both power supplies in an expander losing power simultaneously, connect each power cable to a
different circuit.
3. After no more than 2 minutes, verify that the power supply LEDs are green.
If the expansion shelf does not power on automatically, check the power cable connections and power source. If the
expansion shelf still does not power on, contact HPE Support.
Install OCP Cards in the Controllers
Note: If your array does not have adapters installed in the OCP expansion slot of the controllers, you must install
OCP cards in the array before connecting an expansion shelf.
Procedure
1. Identify and halt the controller that is in Standby mode.
a) Log in to the array using the CLI.
b) Determine which controller is in Standby mode.
ctrlr --list --array array_name
c) Halt the standby controller.
halt --array array_name --controller {A | B}
2. Install the OCP card in the standby controller.
