ment was shipped when outdoor temperature were significantly above or below room tempera-
ture, it is best to wait several hours before powering on the system.

Self-Diagnostic Mode
To ensure flawless operation,
SurfRAID
LC16 has a built-in self-diagnostic utility. Self-diagnostic Mode
occurs automatically upon power up or after reset. During this mode, all components are tested, and
any potential problems will be reported.
The Self-Diagnostic Mode runs three major diagnostic tests. The first diagnostic includes testing
of the CPU and supporting core logic chips, the internal bus, memory, SCSI controller, enhanced
IDE controllers, and RS-232 controllers. The second diagnostic test is for the presence of disks
on each individual disk channel. It also checks the functionality of the disk found. The final
diagnostic tests the functionality of the RAID.
