Nearchive Base Server and Storage System Hardware

Each hard drive has a lock and a green and amber LED on the left side of the drive carrier

(see “Hard Drive Carrier” on page 19). The lock can be used to secure the drive carrier,

preventing its removal from the Nearchive enclosure. The green LED is on when a drive is

receiving power. The amber LED flashes when a drive is in use.

Nearchive Base Server and Storage System Rear Panel

The rear of the Nearchive Base Server and Storage System is where all of the cables are

connected (see “Nearchive Rear Panel” on page 20). The rear panel contains the power cord

connectors; the power supply modules; the inputs for the keyboard, mouse, and Universal

Serial Bus (USB) application key; the video connector; the Gigabit Ethernet connector; and

the quad-port Fibre Channel connections. The Nearchive Storage System has one single-

channel, Fibre Channel adapter board installed for connectivity to the Nearchive Base

Server.

Do not use either built-in Ethernet connectors for media transfers, only use the PCI NIC

cards.
