2 with disk 7.
If necessary, refer to chapter 3 in the IP4700 Installation and Service
Guide for instructions on removing and installing disk drives.
Permanent FC4700 information in “system” disks 0-2 will prevent IP4700
powerup if the disks remain in (or are returned to) DPE slots 0, 1, or 2.
Verify Cabling 9. Refer to the IP4700 Quick Start Guide and the IP4700 Installation
and Service Guide to ensure that the system is properly cabled for
the IP4700. Figure 1 shows a sample configuration, with three
