Setup guide

WARNING It is critical that you follow the correct sequence when powering your system up and down to ensure
proper operation of the storage configuration. An incorrect sequence can mean your system does not recognize
all drives.
To power up your system:
1 Power up all disk arrays.
Power on the RAID controller units last. This ensures the RAID controllers detect the other units in the
Stone Direct storage.
2 Wait about 90 seconds for all the drives to spin up.
3 Power up your workstation.
To power down your system:
1 Power down your workstation. If you are on a Linux system, in a Terminal, as root, type:
shutdown -g0
2 Wait for your workstation to shut down completely and power off. If the system does not power off
automatically, power it off manually.
3 Power down your disk arrays.
Power off the RAID units first. This ensures the RAID controllers can always detect the other units in
the Stone Direct storage.
