Perform a forced shutdown only if the storage system is not responding.


Boot Menu

Use the boot menu to restart or troubleshoot your ReadyDATA storage system. Your storage
system has the following boot modes:
• Normal. Initiates a normal boot process, just like booting using the Power button.
• Factory default. Initiates a short disk test that takes approximately 2 minutes. After the
disk test, a 10-minute time-out period begins.
WARNING:
The factory default reboot process resets the storage system to
factory settings, erases all data, and resets all defaults.
- If you want to cancel the factory default process, power off the storage system before
the 10-minute time-out ends. The system powers down safely without causing any
data loss.
- If you want to reset the system to factory default settings, do not power off your
system. After the 10-minute time-out period, the factory default process begins.
Tip: To start the factory default process immediately, press the OK button
during the 10-minute time-out period.
• OS reinstall. Reinstalls the firmware from the internal flash to the disks. Use the OS
reinstall boot mode when the system crashes and corrupts some configuration files. OS
reinstall boot mode also resets some settings on your storage system, such as Internet
protocol settings and the administrator password, to defaults.
