may blink.
Power up the Galaxy Aurora by momentarily pushing the Power switch on the front of the unit.

unformatted disk drive, typically like any other RAID storage. At that point the user
places a file system on the Aurora by initializing it with the clients disk utilities.

2.2.2 Setting up Ethernet Connectivity on a Windows Client

For you to administer Aurora, setup remote maintenance, or proceed with StorNext SAN
