Operating the SCSIBox 2 and Vault Rack
Removing a Drive From the Chassis
To remove a SCSI drive:
1.
Push the drive lever up; this action disengages the drive assembly from
the shelf.
2.
Carefully slide the drive and sled assembly out of the slot.
Updating the Software to Recognize the New Drives
To notify the operating system of the new drives, you must run the
MAKEDEV
command, which creates the required device files for the
software. If you do not know how to run
MAKEDEV
, refer to your system
administrator’s documents.
Caution:
Only a qualified system administrator or someone familiar with
IRIX™ commands should execute
MAKEDEV
.
Operating the Vault Rack
The Vault has a power switch located in the rear of the rack as shown in
Figure 3-4. It is recommended that you always power up the rack first before
powering up the host system. If you need to bring down the entire system,
turn off the rack first before shutting down the host system.
Note:
The SCSIBox 2s have on/off switches as well (see Figure 2-2). It does
not matter if you turn these on or off before you turn the main Vault switch
on or off.
