6. The next step is to identify the various ports at the back of the device. There are two device nodes, **NODE1** and **NODE2**. Each node has four network interfaces, **MGMT**, **DATA1**, **DATA2**, **DATA3**. **MGMT** is used to configure management during the initial configuration of the device. **DATA1**-**DATA3** are data ports. **MGMT** and **DATA3** ports are 1 Gbps, whereas **DATA1**, **DATA2** can work as 40-Gbps ports or 10-Gbps ports. At the bottom of the two device nodes, are four power supply units (PSUs) that are shared across the two device nodes. As you face this device, the **PSUs** are **PSU1**, **PSU2**, **PSU3**, and **PSU4** from left to right.

8. Use the power buttons in the front plane to turn on the device nodes. Keep the power button depressed for a few seconds until the blue lights come on. All the green LEDs for the power supplies in the back of the device should now be solid. The front operating panel of the device also contains fault LEDs. When a fault LED is lit, it indicates a faulty PSU or a fan or an issue with the disk drives.
