4.3 Front Panel Display Basics

The front panel display provides a quick and easy way to view the RamSan-500’s status. It displays the current progress of Flash module synchronization and shows system warnings and failures.

The RamSan-500’s front panel allows you to:

￿Inspect the state of the system

￿Select a Flash module to power off

￿Change the method of IP address assignment

￿Reboot/Shutdown the system.

Four buttons located to the left of the display are used to make selections:

Select: When a menu item is on the display, pressing this button will either execute that menu option or proceed to the next layer in the menu. If the menu is not selected, this button is disabled.

↑: This button scrolls up through the menu. It is also used to cancel certain commands, as indicated on the display. If the menu is not selected, this button is disabled.

↓: This button scrolls down through the menu. It is also used to confirm certain commands, as indicated on the display. If the menu is not selected, this button is disabled.
