If you are using a XiVASafe XS1e or XS2e external

sHUTTING DOWN EXTERNAL sTORAGE
XiVAsafe Xs1e (1Tb) and Xs2e (2Tb)
You should power your MS1HD down first, then switch
the external storage unit off using the power switch on
the rear.
Note:
If you need to exchange one XS1e or XS2e for
another, you must power the MS1HD down whilst you
do so.
XiVAsafe Xs3i (3Tb), Xs6i (6Tb) and Xs12i
(12Tb)
You should power your MS1HD down first, then shut
down the external storage unit.
The XS3i, XS6i and XS12i must be shut down in a
controlled fashion in one of two ways.
Simplest is to use the front panel display on the XiVASafe
unit.

and press
The XiVASafe unit will shut down.
To turn it back on, switch the single power button on the
rear of the unit off and then back on again. Note that
there are three power switches on the rear of the unit.
The one concerned in this case is on the left rear of the
unit as you look from the front. The other two control
the two individual power supply units, and must not be
touched.
The second way is by using your browser.
Enter the Admin IP address into the address panel
•
of your browser in the format http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
Note that the XiVASafe unit has 2 IP addresses, one for
Admin purposes and one for your MediaServer to access
the libraries. When shutting down the XiVASafe unit,
you should use the Admin IP address.
Click Maintenance in the left-hand panel. You will
•
be prompted to log in. The username is
admin
and
the password is
en91n3.
Once you’re logged in, you’ll be taken to the
•
Maintenance tab. Click Shutdown, which is the
lowermost of the list of links. Then click Shutdown
on the confirmation screen.
The XiVASafe unit will shut down. You should switch off
the main power switch on the rear of the unit once the
lights on the front have all gone off.
XiVAsafe Emergency shutdown
If you really have to shutdown as quickly as possible, use
the single switch on the back of the unit. As you look at
the front of the XiVASafe unit, this switch is at the left
rear of the unit. This initiates a controlled shutdown in
which any cached data is written to disk before the unit
powers down.
The other two power switches each control one of the
hot-swappable power supplies.
They are simple on-off switches.
Using them to power the unit down will cause any
data held in memory to be lost and can reduce the
reliability of the unit.
