Chapter 6: LDVR-SP Installation
Important: Before powering up the unit for the first time, it is highly recommended that
you re-seat each hard drive. Perform the following to each drive WHILE
THE UNIT IS POWERED OFF: unlock the drive, pull it out, gently but
firmly push it back in until it does not go back any further, re-lock the drive.
This prevents system startup problems and random intermittent drive errors
due to EIDE data connectors working themselves loose inside the drive bays
and causing faulty connections.
The following table identifies the sequence of steps required to complete
common installation and maintenance procedures. Select a procedure from the
top row of the table and complete the sequence of steps in the order they are
listed on the left-hand side of the table. N means this step is not required. Y
means this step is required. The remainder of this chapter contains instructions
for each of these steps.
