As part of your site planning, set up a separate circuit and power outlet for each power distribution unit (PDU). These outlets should be located within reach of the 15 ft (4.57 m) PDU power input cables.
Note: When powering down an Oracle FS System, always identify if there is a Replication Engine in the rack. Ensure that the PDU switch for the Replication Engine (if applicable) is untouched so that the Replication Engine can continue uninterrupted when powering down the Oracle FS System.
Note: Before powering on the Oracle MaxRep Replication Engine, ensure that all the power cords plugged into the PDU are seated properly in their sockets. The power cords can get unseated from their sockets during shipping, which can cause the amber LEDs to flash when the system is powered on. The flashing amber LEDs can be mistaken for a faulted power supply.
Note: All Oracle FS System components be powered on or off individually so that any faults can be easily isolated and corrected.
- Power on the PDU circuit breakers to apply power to the Replication Engine.

Note: The PDU circuit breakers are at the back of the rack. Press down on the ON (1) toggle switch.Note: The example illustrates the process for powering on the PDU for rack mounted systems. The process for powering on the PDU might vary for rack-ready systems. - If the Replication Engine does not power on automatically, use the power switch on the front panel of the Replication Engine to power on.
- Check the Power or OK LED on the front panel of the Replication Engine for activity.

The LEDs turns green when the Replication Engine is powered on.
- Check the back power supply LEDs that is located on the front panel and indicate the state of the power supplies.
- Contact Oracle Customer Support if the power LED or OK LED on the Replication Engine front panel is not green.
The power LED or OK LED not being green indicates that there is no hard drive activity.
