Power on the host computers.

The host computers should be the last devices that are turned on. Please refer to the 

manual that came with your host computers to see their own power on procedures.

Once the RAID subsystem has been powered on, the status of the entire subsystem should be 

checked to ensure that everything is running smoothly and that there are no complications or 

malfunctions. 

1.

Controller module LEDs: The Controller Ready, Host Busy, and Drive Busy LEDs should all 

flash green.

2.

Drive tray LEDs: The green LEDs for all the drive trays that contain hard drive should light 

up showing that there is power. 

3.

LCD panel LEDs: The blue LED on the LCD panel should illuminate, indicating that power 

is being supplied to the system.

4.

Firmware and Bosch RAIDWatch: The overall status of the system may be checked using 

the pre-installed firmware or the Bosch RAIDWatch GUI.

5.

Audible alarm: If any errors occur during the initialization process, the onboard alarm will 

sound in a hastily repeated manner. 

6.

Drive tray LEDs should start flashing, indicating that the RAID control units are attempt-

ing to access the hard drives.

System firmware can be configured to support a delayed sequence for starting drives. 

When powering on the subsystem, wait for the front panel LCD screen to show “READY” or 

“No Host LUN” before turning on the host computer. Refer to Figure 5.6 on how to read the 

screens. 

The LCD Startup Screen

Although the PSUs are redundant and a single PSU can provide sufficient power to the sys-

tem, it is advisable to turn both the power switches on. If only one (1) PSU is operating and 

that PSU fails, the whole system will shut down.

The subsystem has been designed to run continuously. If a component fails, the fault can be 

corrected online.
