Chapter 9: MediaStore 5100 and 5000 series hardware reference
About drive start up
Unless otherwise selected during installation, all drives in the MediaStore will automatically start their
motors upon power-up. If this has
not
occurred, there may be a power problem (an alarm and power fault
indication would normally be active).
Note that if there is only one Power Cooling Module present, the drive motors will spin up in a delayed
sequence.
Each drive carrier incorporates a green LED and an amber LED. In normal operation, the green LED will
be ON and will flicker as the drive operates.
