Checking standard PVS1100 Series accessories
Your PVS1100 Series Media Platform is shipped with several standard accessories as
shown in the table. Locate the accessories you need for your installation and proceed.
System power-off and reboot procedure
When you power-off or reboot your Profile XP Platform and RAID storage system,
you must follow the proper sequence as described in the following procedure.
NOTE: If your Profile XP Media Platform is part of a Media Area Network,
disregard this procedure, and refer to the instructions in the Media Area Network
Instruction Manual for shutting down the Media Area Network.
1. Power-off the RAID storage system by powering-off the RAID Controller chassis
prior to, or at the same time as the RAID Expansion chassis.
CAUTION: You must always power off the PFR500 RAID Controller chassis prior
to, or at the same time as the PFR500E Expansion Chassis. Failure to do so may
force some LUNs offline. This will cause loss of access to the media file system
when the system is powered on again. Refer to the Profile XP System Guide for
instructions on how to recover from improper power-off sequence.
2. Wait approximately 30 seconds for the disk drives to spin down, then power-on all
RAID Expansion chassis, then all RAID Controller chassis. Always power-on the
RAID Expansion chassis prior to, or at the same time as the RAID Controller
chassis.
3. Wait for RAID storage initialization, as follows:
- PFR 500 RAID Storage systems - Wait until all disk access LEDs are steady
green— approximately 4 minutes. The rear panel 7-segment LED displays the
chassis address. (Refer to the PFR 500 Instruction Manual to interpret other disk
access LED or 7-segment LED behavior.)
- PFC 500 RAID Storage systems - Wait until the System Check LED is off and
all disk access LEDs are steady green— approximately 2 minutes. (Refer to the
PFC500 Instruction Manual to interpret other front panel LED behavior.)
4. On the Profile XP Media Platform, shutdown and restart the Windows operating
system. Wait for auto-logon as described in “Start your PVS1100 system” on
page 13.
