Getting to Know the Instant RAID

All of the Instant RAID’s connections and switches are on the rear panel, as
seen below.

Power Input

The AC Cord plugs into the power input port.

Power Switch

The power switch is a spring-loaded soft switch
which powers on and powers off the Instant RAID.
If OFF, press once to turn it on. If ON, press once
to start the Shutdown Sequence. While shutting
down, the READY LEDs will blink.

Reset IP Button

If the Instant RAID’s IP Address or password is
lost, press and release this button. The Instant
RAID will beep once to indicate that the reset was
successful. The Instant RAID password will be
cleared, and its IP Address set to 192.168.0.2, with
a Network Mask of 255.255.255.0. 

You can now connect to the Instant RAID and set
the correct IP Address and password.
