the canister status LED will come on solid, indicating that the canisters have
clustered. The process can take up to 3 minutes. Figure 16 shows the locations
of the status and identify LEDs on the rear panel.
13. On the Backup Drive page, your computer automatically detects the USB flash
drive. The target location of the drive is shown. You must make at least two
additional copies of the USB flash drive with the keys.
Attention:
It is important to have at least three copies of the USB flash
drives as a safeguard of the key. You should create additional copies of that
key on other forms of storage as well (there is no point in storing it to the
same system since it will be locked in the event that you need the key). Since
the key is required to unlock a FlashSystem 840 which has protection
(encryption) enabled, loss of all copies of your key will result in loss of all the
data in your FlashSystem 840. The key should be stored at least as resiliently
as the data.

of the drive is shown.
