Removing a Drive From the Chassis
To remove a SCSI drive:
1. Push the drive lever to the left to disengage the drive assembly from the
shelf.
2. Carefully slide the drive and sled assembly out of the slot.
Updating the Software to Recognize the New Drives
To notify the operating system of the new drives, run the MAKEDEV
command, which creates the required device files for the software. If you do
not know how to run MAKEDEV, refer to your system administrator’s
documents.
Caution: Only a qualified system administrator or someone familiar with
IRIX™ commands should execute MAKEDEV.
Operating the Vault L
The power switch for the Vault L storage box is located in the front, as shown
in Figure 1-2 in Chapter 1, “Touring the Chassis,” earlier in this guide. It is
recommended that you always power up the Vault L first before powering
up the host system. If you need to bring down the entire system, turn off the
Vault L first before shutting down the host system.
Caution: The Vault L has a switchable 115/230 power supply. See
Figure 2-5. To prevent damage to the Vault L storage box, always ensure that
the voltage setting matches the power source voltage.
