Chapter 4 – Getting Started
This chapter will guide you through setting up your RamSan-500. It is
important to accomplish the following tasks to make your system usable:
Use the front panel display to set up the network (Section 4.5)
Get the Web monitor operational (Section 4.7)
Use the Web monitor to set the date and time (Section 4.8)
Use the Web monitor to configure advanced network settings (Section
4.9)
Use the Web monitor to configure security (Section 4.10)
Other sections explore the configuration tools and should be read to
familiarize you with the system.
4.1 Turning on the System
Separate power cables should be connected to each of the two RamSan-
500 power modules. The 3-prong AC inlet lies at the bottom of each power
module. To power on the system, both power modules should be switched
on. Though the RamSan-500 will operate when only one power supply is
switched on, this is not recommended. After a user-initiated shutdown,
switch both power modules off, then switch both modules on again to
bring the system back on-line.
4.2 System Initialization
The front panel display shows the boot process’ current state. Once the
power is connected, the system turns on automatically and the front panel
display begins the power-on sequence. The following happens
automatically:
System Status: GOOD
1 2 3 4
Once AC power is connected, the
RamSan will power-up and the
front panel displays “System
Status: GOOD” and shows the
performance bars for each Fibre
Channel port. The numbers
represent the Fibre Channel
Controllers. If a controller is not
installed, the number and
corresponding performance will not
display. The top bars represent
port A and the bottom bars
represent port B.
The system is now ready for normal operation.
