BASIC OPERATION
POWER ON/OFF
Connecting the dual power supplies
Maxx 6T is equipped with fully redundant power supplies. Connect each power supply to a
separate source of AC power. Looking at the rear of the unit, the two IEC main power receptacles
are located on the left. The unit will operate indefinitely on a single supply. If AC power is lost on
one of the two supplies, a high-pitched alarm will sound to indicate the power loss. The MAXX 6T
will accept world-wide power sources in the range of 100-240 volts AC, 50-60 Hz. The server is
shipped with a power cord appropriate for the region in which it is sold. Replace the power cord
only with one of the same type and rating.
Power On
The blue front panel button initiates start-up and shut-down of the MAXX 6T. Press it momentarily
to start the server. A sequence of start-up screens will appear, ending with the display of the 3-
channel Graphic User Interface (GUI) (Figure 4 on Page 22 ).
During the first power on the system must be connected to a keyboard, monitor and mouse. The
Image Server will ask you to accept the Software Licensing Agreement before it will operate. This
screen will only appear during the initial startup.
Power Off
When the MAXX 6T is running, pressing the blue button momentarily will cause the system to begin
an orderly shutdown. This can also be initiated from the GUI by selecting
START > SHUTDOWN > SHUTDOWN. In most cases the power will shut off automatically,
however if the front panel lights begin to blink the file system has been properly closed and it is safe
to force the power off by holding the front panel button in for 4 seconds.
In the event that the system has stopped responding to commands and will not shutdown, hold the
button in for 4 seconds to force a power down.
CAUTION:
LOSS OF DATA CAN OCCUR IF THE POWER IS TURNED OFF WITHOUT A SHUTDOWN.
USE THE FOUR SECOND SHUTDOWN ONLY IF THE SYSTEM IS NOT RESPONDING OR DOES
NOT TURN THE POWER OFF AUTOMATICALLY.
CAUTION:
A LWAYS DISCONNECT BOTH POWER CABLES ANY TIME THE TOP PANEL IS TO BE REMOVED .
Serious damage to the server can occur if service is attempted with AC power attached.
The front panel power switch does not disconnect AC power!
