Initializing the Storage System
Initialization Steps
Follow the steps below to initialize the storage system from the
service laptop.
These instructions assume that you are starting with SP A. However you can
start the initialization process with either SP.
1. Connect the NULL modem cable between the laptop serial port
(COM 1) and the SP A service port (|0|0|on a CX700, or on a
CX500 SP or CX300 SP), as shown in Figure 1.
For a CX500, you will need the RJ45/DB9 serial adapter that shipped
with the storage system.

2. Turn the service laptop on.
Be sure that the system is powered up. The SP’s power LED should be a
steady green, and no amber LEDs should be blinking.
