RDX 8000
4.5 Powering up and powering down the unit
The
RDX 8000 power button indicator will be solid amber when AC power is present at the unit indicating the unit is
in Standby mode.
Press and release the power button on the front panel to power up the RDX 8000. During the power up process the
power button indicator will change from solid amber to flashing green indicating the unit is in the process of
becoming ready. The
RDX 8000 unit will take approximately 3.5 minutes to complete the power up boot sequence.
During power up a progress bar will be displayed in the OCP after approximately 90 seconds providing boot
progress indication
for the remaining start up sequence oper ations.
NOTICE
The RDX 8000 will always start from standby mode if the last power shutdown of
the unit was performed via a normal shutdown to standby mode (shutdown
initiated by the pressing the power but ton).
If the unit was stopped or rebooted
because of an AC power interruption the unit will automatically boot backup to
operation mode without the necessity of a power
button push. This allows the RDX 8000 to recover from power
errors without
additional operator intervention.
After
successful completion of the power up sequence, the network interface will be available if an active network
connection was detected. The RDX 8000 OCP (Operator Control Panel) will also become active and will display the
RD X 8000 unit’s IP address for port 1. Please take note of this IP address which will be used to access the RDX 8000
and
for the iSCSI communication.
To power down the unit press and hold the power button for 4 seconds and release. The power indicator will flash
amber indicating the unit is in the process of powering down. Once the unit has completed the power
shutdown
sequence the power indicator will be solid amber indicating the unit is in Standby Mode.
NOTICE
Do not insert RDX cartridges until the preliminary RDX 8000 configuration
process is completed!
