5 Using the Xserve RAID System
After you’ve connected to the host system or switch, you can turn on Xserve RAID and use
the RAID Admin software to configure it.
Starting Up the System
When you plug the power cords into Xserve RAID, the system begins its internal diagnostics.
During this time (about 30 seconds), you cannot use the power button to turn on the
system.
When the diagnostics are complete, the small light next to the power button blinks. Press the
power button when the light blinks and wait about 1 minute for the system to initialize.
Status lights on the front and back panels indicate network connection, system activity, and
drive module use. See “Using Status Lights and Other Indicators” on page 46 for more
information.
Detailed instructions for configuring RAID storage and management software are provided in
the document “Using RAID Admin and Disk Utility” on the CD that came with your system.
