Cobalt CacheRaQ 4 User Manual 55
Appendix A
Using the LCD Console
During startup, the LCD screen on the front panel of the CacheRaQ 4 displays
status information about the boot process itself.
When setting up the CacheRaQ 4, you use the LCD console to enter network
configuration information for the CacheRaQ 4.
Once the CacheRaQ 4 is running, the LCD console serves several purposes.
Through the LCD console, you can:
• change the network configuration information, which is useful if you change
the location of the CacheRaQ 4
• reboot, which restarts the entire CacheRaQ 4
• power down in a way that allows the CacheRaQ 4 to close all open files, and
minimizes startup time the next time the CacheRaQ 4 is powered on
• reset the network, which resets all IP addresses, netmasks and other network
settings to that of a new, unconfigured system
• exit from the LCD commands without making any changes
You access each of these functions by holding down the (select) button for
approximately two seconds. This action causes the LCD screen to enter its
function mode. Press the button until the function you want appears on the
LCD screen. To cancel the LCD function mode, select the EXIT function when it
appears on the screen. Press the (enter) button and select YES.
☞
IMPORTANT: Before turning off the CacheRaQ 4, follow the
proper power-down procedure, as described in “Power down” on
page 58
