Chapter 2 Getting Started

Start up the Device

Before you start:
Check that the voltage of the extra power supply is the same with the device's requirement, and
the ground connection is working properly.
Start up the device:
Check the power supply is plugged into an electrical outlet. It is HIGHLY recommended that an
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) be used in conjunction with the device. The Power indicator
LED on the front panel should be red, indicating the device gets the power supply.

that the unit begins to start up.
After startup, the Power indicator LED remains blue. A splash screen with the status of the HDD
appears on the monitor. The row of icons at the bottom of the screen shows the HDD status. 'X'
means that the HDD is not installed or cannot be detected.
