Section 2 Basic Setup
The power switch is used to turn the unit on. However, do not use it to turn the
unit off, unless there is no other way. To turn on the unit, press the power
switch momentarily. To turn it off, press and hold it for 8 seconds. The reset
switch also should not be used unless there is no alternative. It is pressed
using a straightened-out paper clip. Below the two switches is the Power LED.
This illuminates when power is on. Below the power LED is a disk activity LED
for the internal boot drive. This LED will light intermittently during normal
operation. Below the power LED are two network LEDs. These LEDs will light
when there is activity from the ports they correspond to on the rear. Below
these is a temperature warning LED. If the temperature inside the system
becomes too high, this LED will illuminate. Below the temperature warning
LED is a power warning LED. If there is something wrong with the power, this
LED will illuminate.

drives must be placed into their prepared slots for the file system to operate
properly.
The drives will be tagged with numbers 1-24. Place them in their assigned
