Fibre Channel FC4700 Array to IP4700 File Server Conversion Guide
Factory Initialization
Factory Initialization
Factory initialization is a process that all new IP4700 systems
experience prior to shipment. The process begins by clearing all data
from the DPE and DAE(s) in the IP4700 system, and then binds the
disks into file server volumes. You must follow this same process to
complete the FC4700-to-IP4700 conversion, and leave your system
ready for the network initialization process common to all IP4700 file
servers.
1. Locate the DPE serial number label on the back of the unit. Copy
the number here – __________________________

either on or flashing.
3. power cycle the DPE as described in Chapter 2 of the IP4700
Installation and Service Guide:

will hold power for 90 seconds.)
