Prior to running the puresetup command, which command should an Installation Engineer run on a...

The FlashArray//XR4 introduces a new hardware platform architecture (internally codenamed or associated with "Cobalt" components for its BMC and chassis management). During the manufacturing and initial deployment phase, specific validation scripts are used to ensure the platform hardware is correctly initialized before the Purity Operating Environment takes over.

For a new install of a FlashArray//XR4, the Implementation Engineer is often required to runcobalt check . py(or cobalt_check.py).

This engineering-level Python script queries the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) and internal sensors to verify that the chassis components, fans, and power delivery systems are reporting "Healthy" status specifically for the R4 architecture.

Running thisbeforepuresetup prevents the setup process from failing midway due to a hardware initialization error. It acts as a "pre-flight" hardware validation specific to the R4 generation's new chipset and management subsystem.
