Setup Guide

4If you are trying to view the disks from a Windows NT system, make sure that the disks are formatted as NTFS volumes.

The disks are factory-formatted using NTFS 4. If you reformat the disks as another type of file system (such as FAT or FAT32), you will not be able to access the disks using Windows NT. If you are able to view the disks from Windows 2000 or 2003, but not from Windows NT, it indicates that the disks are not NTFS.

Tip: To double-check the file-system property, on a Windows 2000 or 2003 system, right-click the disk, click Properties, and note the File system designation on the General tab.

Perpetual Loop of Audio Alerts

On startup, the REO Appliance might reach an error state and begin an endless loop of alerts. The pattern (2 beeps separated by a 1-second delay) repeats every 4 seconds.

XIf the REO Appliance reaches this error state, turn the REO Appliance off and then back on.

The cause of this error state might also be one of the following:

„A LAN cable is not connected to the Management Port.

„The REO SoftKey is not inserted, is not inserted correctly, or is physically damaged.

„The wrong REO SoftKey was used (you inserted the wrong key).

Disabling the Audio Alarm

If a power supply or fan fails or detects an issue with the appliance, an audible alarm sounds. If you do not have the spare component needed to correct the situation (for example, if you need to replace a power supply), press the small, red button on the back of the appliance to turn off the sound temporarily (after you correct the situation, make sure that you press the button again to engage the audio feature).

Systems Restart When I Map a Disk Drive

If your systems restart whenever you try to map a disk, it indicates that your LAN does not use DHCP, and you did not manually edit the configuration file located on the REO SoftKey before continuing with the configuration process.

XIf your LAN does not use DHCP and you have not edited the configuration file on the key, perform the steps outlined under Editing the Configuration File (for a non-DHCP or UNIX Management System) on page 33.
