To shut down the system using the front panel, use the arrow buttons to cycle through the top-level menu to select “Manual Restart”. Use the Select button to select this menu item.

4.4.4 Automatic Shutdown

In the event that the system senses a high system temperature, power out of range, or a variety of other dangerous environmental conditions, the system will automatically initiate the shutdown procedure.

4.5 Network Configuration with the Front Panel Display

The RamSan-500 allows system monitoring and configuration through the installed Ethernet module. To access the system’s Ethernet port you will need to provide the system with an IP address, subnet mask, and possibly a gateway address. The administrator may assign the IP address in one of three ways: Static IP, DHCP, or No Ethernet. The default factory setting is DHCP.

For any questions regarding IP assignment values, please consult your network administrator.
