To replace the top cover and reboot the Sun Cobalt Control Station:
1. Secure the top cover properly and replace the ten screws that hold the top
cover in place. See Figure 2 on page 4.
2. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the control station.

Note: When rebooting, the system automatically detects the new
hard disk drive.
The Sun Cobalt Control Station automatically synchronizes the new
hard disk drive to the existing hard disk drive so that the server will
be able to provide disk mirroring. During the synchronization
process, the Sun Cobalt Control Station cannot provide disk
mirroring.
