Restart the Storage Device Unit

The storage device must be restarted after a power failure. In this instance, the storage device may already be turned on, but needs to be booted up again.

Since the storage device is an information database, if you experience a power interruption or if you power off the storage device without going through the standard shut down procedures, you may lose data and/or damage the file system.

To restart the storage device, press the power button on the front panel. The boot-up process may take up to 5 minutes.
