Cobalt RaQ 4 User Manual 149

Appendix A

Using the LCD Console

During startup, the liquid-crystal-display (LCD) screen on the front panel of the

RaQ 4 displays status information about the boot process.

When setting up the RaQ 4, you use the LCD console to enter network

conﬁguration information for the RaQ 4.

Once the RaQ 4 is running, the LCD console serves several purposes. Through

the LCD console, you can:

• change the network conﬁguration information, which is useful if the location

of the RaQ 4 is changed

• conﬁgure the uninterruptible power supply (UPS)

• reboot, which restarts the entire RaQ 4

• power down in a way that allows the RaQ 4 to close all open ﬁles, and

minimizes startup time the next time the RaQ 4 is powered on

• exit from the LCD commands without making any changes

Access to the functions

You access each of these functions by holding down the (select) button on

the LCD console 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 RaQ 4, follow the proper power-

down procedure, as described in “Powering down” on page 155.
