OS recovery setting 

This section consists of notes on OS recovery with the mirror card connected. 

 

Usually, you should perform recovery using recovery media after connecting two HDDs to the mirror card. 

If both HDDs connected to the mirror card recognize the card as normal, you can perform recovery using 
recovery media and bypassing the above step. 

 

However, if two HDDs, for example, used for other RAID system are to be mirroring-configured, the mirror 

card may not be recognized as normal due to information on mirroring configuration. 

In this case, you need to manipulate the DIP switch for the mirror card. Conduct recovery in accordance 

with the procedure described below. 

 

 

1.

 

Set the DIP switch for the mirror card for setting 1 with the power off. 

※

The DIP switch setteing refer to This Chapter “Switch setting” – “Table 8.3 DIP switch setting”. 

2.

 

After installing the mirror card, turn on the power and check that the Access LED on the mirror card 
flashes orange. 

※

Check visually the mirror card LED. 

For more on the status of the mirror card LED, refer to This Chapter “Internal LED status”. 

3.

 

Turn off the power and set the DIP switch for the mirror card to normal status. 

※

How to set the DIP switch and installation/removal of the mirror card are the same as step 1 of this 

procedure. 

4.

 

Turn on the power and perform recovery.
