Disk synchronization begins automatically and finishes in approximately
20 hours. The system is operational during the disk synchronization. If
you reboot the system during the synchronization, the system continues
the operation after the reboot.
The status lights on the front of the V3001R indicate disk status. For
detailed information, see
page

Before you turn on power to the system, you can attach a computer to
the Console port on the front of the system and then monitor the boot
sequence. You can also use the Console port to enter commands. For
example, you can easily set the IP configuration of an NBX system using
the Console port. For information on how to use the Console port, see
"Connecting a Computer to a Console Port"
CAUTION: Do not disconnect power during a system boot operation
after a software upgrade. On rare occasions, a system software upgrade
includes an upgrade to the system's flash memory image. The flash
upgrade occurs during the boot operation following a system software
upgrade. If you disconnect power during the flash upgrade, the boot
software may become corrupted and the system will need to be returned
to 3Com for repair. As the flash upgrade progresses, the system Console
displays these messages:
