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.
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.

Listen 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

After you hear the beep tones, proceed to the configuration steps outlined 
in the next chapter, 
Configuring the Management System
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.
Press and hold the power button for 1 second.
