Chapter 2: Getting to Know the Instant GigaDrive™

The Instant GigaDrive’s Rear Panel

All of the Instant GigaDrive’s con- nectors and switch- es are on the rear panel, as shown in Figure 2-1.

Figure 2-1

Power Switch The Power switch is a spring-loaded soft switch that powers the Instant GigaDrive™ on and off. If the Instant GigaDrive™ is not powered on, pressing the Power switch will start the Instant GigaDrive’s startup process. Pressing the Power switch while the Instant GigaDrive™ is turned on will begin its inter- nal shutdown process. The Instant GigaDrive™ must be pow- ered off this way, or through its internal shutdown process, which is located in the web-based utility.

AC Input Port The AC Input port is where the power cord plugs in. Never remove the power cord while the Instant Gigadrive™ is turned on.

Printer Port You can also add a printer to your network through the Instant GigaDrive’s Printer port, using DB-25 printer cable.

Reset Button

If the Instant GigaDrive’s IP Address or password is lost,

 

press and hold this button down for three seconds, then

 

release this button. The Instant GigaDrive™ will beep once

 

to indicate that the default IP Address (192.168.1.77, with a

 

Network Mask of 255.255.255.0) has been provided. This

 

function will also clear the Instant GigaDrive’s administra-

 

tive passwords.

Uplink Button

This button toggles the Instant GigaDrive’s Ethernet connec-

 

tor between an Uplink setting and a standard setting. If the

 

Instant GigaDrive™ is connected directly to a PC without a

 

hub, then this button should be pressed in. If you are con-

 

necting the Instant GigaDrive™ to a hub or switch, this but-

 

ton should not be pressed in. If it is, press it once to release

 

it.

LAN Port

Use this port to connect the Instant GigaDrive™ to your

 

10BaseT or 100BaseTX hub.

100 LED

Amber. This LED will light up if the 10/100BaseTX connec-

 

tor is communicating at 100 mbps.

10 LED

Green. This LED will glow green if the 10/100BaseTX con-

 

nector is communicating at 10 mbps.

The Instant GigaDrive’s Front Panel

The Instant GigaDrive’s front panel, shown in Figure 2-2, displays the follow- ing LEDs.

Drive LEDs

Green. The LED for each disk drive will flash when the drive

 

is active. The LED is located next to the lock on each of the

 

drive trays.

Ready

Green. If this light shines a steady green, then the Instant

 

GigaDrive™ is working properly. It blinks during startup or

 

shutdown, and turns off after the shutdown is completed. It

 

will also blink during a firmware upgrade.

Error

Amber. If this light is flashing, then there is a hardware error.

 

It will also flash during the power-on self test or a firmware

 

upgrade. Once the self-test or upgrade is completed, it will

 

turn off.
