Startup and shutdown (GS models)
Start
: Turn on all JBOD unit(s) before turning on the head unit.
Caution:
The drive does not properly initialize if the
JBOD unit(s) are not started first. If this happens, restart
the head unit.
Stop
: Turn off the head unit using a clean operating system
shutdown
before
the JBOD unit(s). Always wait for the head
unit to power off before turning off the JBOD unit(s).
Caution:
Shutting down a JBOD unit with the head
unit powered on leaves the RAID array in a confused
state. If this happens, 1) turn off the head unit, 2) turn
on JBOD unit(s), and 3) restart head unit.
How to install the SFPs
This product uses hot-swappable SFPs, but you should
disconnect any cables before changing the SFP modules.
Caution:
Wear a grounding strap when handling SFPs
to avoid damaging them or other components. Avoid
exposure to laser radiation from optical components by
keeping the dust plugs installed until you are ready to
install the cables.
♦
Your
can be inserted into any open port
and in any order.
♦
You can hot-swap the connected transceivers at
any time, but it is recommended you then re-launch
Observer Analyzer so that the new speeds can be
identified.
How to set the IP address
Set the IP address of the hardware appliance while you still
have physical access to it, such as immediately after it is racked
and cabled. Setting the IP address ensures the hardware
appliance has a visible and permanent network presence.
Prerequisite(s):
♦
A
switch or keyboard, monitor, and mouse are
connected. The user input devices or KVM switch are
only temporarily needed to set the IP address, so you
can disconnect them after the IP address is set.
♦
The IP, subnet, and gateway or router addresses are
available and known to you.

Configuring the LOM or IPMI port
Your appliance comes with an on-board LOM or IPMI port that
provides you a dedicated management channel for device
maintenance. It allows you to monitor, start, stop, and manage
your appliance remotely regardless of whether the appliance is
powered on.
If you want to use Lights Out Management features, you
must first configure the IP address for the IPMI port from the
BIOS. Then, you should change the administrator password to
something different than the default.
