Fibre Channel FC4700 Array to IP4700 File Server Conversion Guide
Factory Initialization
Factory Initialization
Factory initialization is a process that all new IP4700 systems
experience prior to shipment. The process begins by clearing all data
from the DPE and DAE(s) in the IP4700 system, and then binds the
disks into file server volumes. You must follow this same process to
complete the FC4700-to-IP4700 conversion, and leave your system
ready for the network initialization process common to all IP4700 file
servers.
1. Locate the DPE serial number label on the back of the unit. Copy
the number here – __________________________.
You will need it later in the procedure.
2. Verify that the yellow SPS LEDs are off and the green LEDs are
either on or flashing.
3. power cycle the DPE as described in Chapter 2 of the IP4700
Installation and Service Guide:
a. Turn the power switches on the Standby Power Supplies to the
off position.
b. Wait for all LED activity on the DPE to cease, and for the fans
to stop running. (Note that if the SPS was in the ready state it
will hold power for 90 seconds.)
c. Wait an additional 30 seconds.
d. Turn on the power switch on SPS A, then do the same for SPS
B.
4. Enter ^V (CTRL-V) immediately when the system displays the
IP4700 banner.
