Overland Storage REO 9000 setup guide Press and hold the power button for 1 second

Setup Guide

The power button is located on the front of the appliance. The power button is a momentary contact device that needs to be pressed and held for about 1 second to begin the power-up sequence.

Press and hold the power button for 1 second.

After you turn the power on, the REO Appliance performs a self-test process and loads the necessary information from the REO SoftKey. Following successful completion of the self-test, which takes several minutes, you should hear 3 beep tones.

3Listen for the series of 3 beep tones spaced about 1 second apart.

Important: 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. If this occurs, turn the appliance off and then back on. For more information, see Perpetual Loop of Audio Alerts on page 127.

4After you hear the beep tones, proceed to the configuration steps outlined in the next chapter, Configuring the Management System on page 39.

If you are unable to hear the tones in your physical environment, wait approximately five minutes before continuing.

Note: You must leave the REO Appliance on and the REO SoftKey inserted while completing the configuration process for your application and backup servers.
