release this button. The Instant GigaDrive™ will beep once
to indicate that the default IP Address (192.168.1.77, with a

tive passwords.

tor between an Uplink setting and a standard setting. If the

ton should not be pressed in. If it is, press it once to release
it.

ing LEDs.
Drive LEDs Green. The LED for each disk drive will flash when the drive
is active. The LED is located next to the lock on each of the
drive trays.
Ready Green. If this light shines a steady green, then the Instant
GigaDrive™ is working properly. It blinks during startup or
shutdown, and turns off after the shutdown is completed. It
will also blink during a firmware upgrade.
Error Amber. If this light is flashing, then there is a hardware error.
It will also flash during the power-on self test or a firmware
upgrade. Once the self-test or upgrade is completed, it will
turn off.

Chapter 2: Getting to Know
the Instant GigaDrive™
All of the Instant
GigaDrive’s con-
nectors and switch-
es are on the rear
panel, as shown in
Figure 2-1.
Power Switch The Power switch is a spring-loaded soft switch that powers
the Instant GigaDrive™ on and off. If the Instant GigaDrive™
is not powered on, pressing the Power switch will start the
Instant GigaDrive’s startup process. Pressing the Power switch
while the Instant GigaDrive™ is turned on will begin its inter-
nal shutdown process. The Instant Gig

ered off this way, or through its internal shutdown process,
which is located in the web-based utility.
AC Input Port The AC Input port is where the power cord plugs in. Never
remove the power cord while the Instant Gigadrive™ is
turned on.
Printer Port You can also add a printer to your network through the
Instant GigaDrive’s Printer port, using DB-25 printer cable.
