Nortel Networks BCM1000 manual Initializing the hard disk single-disk system, BCM 2.5/2.5.1

Chapter 16 Replacing the hard disk 179

5Replace the cover on the BCM1000.

6Restore the units to operation. Refer to “Restarting the system” on page 170.

7Perform the procedure appropriate for the type of hard disk system you have:

•Single disk: Initialize the hard disk. Refer to “Initializing the hard disk (single-disk system, BCM 2.5/2.5.1)” on page 179.

After the disk is initialized, restore your data from your backups. If you did not backup your keycodes, re-enter them.

•Mirrored disks: The system automatically starts the mirroring process. Monitor the progress of the mirroring task using the Mirroring diagnostics tool in the Unified Manager (refer to “Controlling and monitoring mirroring operations” on page 196) or by using Telnet.

The LEDs on the front of the RAID board indicate the current status of the board and the hard disks. For more information, refer to “RAID board LEDs” on page 195.

Initializing the hard disk (single-disk system, BCM 2.5/2.5.1)

The BCM1000 is normally initialized at the factory. However, if you have to replace the hard drive in a single-disk BCM1000, you must re-initialize the Business Communications Manager.

After you replace the hard disk and the system has booted up, perform the initialization as follows:

1Make sure the Status LED on the BCM1000 is lit. This LED indicates that the Business Communications Manager is operating correctly.

2Attach the base unit and a computer through the serial port, as described in “Setting up the null modem cable” on page 125.

3Enter the terminal emulation program, as described in “Finding the configuration menus” on page 126,

• If the hard disk does not require initialization, the main menu appears. Refer to Figure 83.
