Power Up the System

You can power up the system with or without disks installed. You use the RAIDar utility to 
discover your ReadyDATA storage system on your network. RAIDar is included on the 
Resource CD that came with your unit. It includes versions for Windows, Mac, and Linux 
operating systems.



Install the appropriate version of RAIDar on a computer that is connected to the same 

Iocal area network (LAN) as your ReadyDATA 5200. 

Note: If you are using Windows XP before SP2, disable the Internet connection firewall.

Ensure that each power supply rocker switch on the back of the ReadyDATA 5200 is set to 

On and press the Power button.

Launch the RAIDar utility. 

RAIDar displays a window that lists the ReadyDATA system or systems on your network 
and provides details about the status of each system it discovers. The volume, disk, UPS, 
and fan LED icons are not operational for the ReadyDATA 5200.

Highlight your ReadyDATA 5200 and click the Setup button.

RAIDar opens your default browser and prompts you to log in to the storage system.

Log in to your ReadyDATA 5200 using the default login credentials:

Both the user name and password are case-sensitive.
