INTRODUCTION

POWERING UP THE RE32 SYSTEM

First, turn on any disk drives that may be connected to the system. Next, turn on the individual

machines (DR16pro, DD8plus etc.). The machines will ‘talk to’ their disk drives and you will see

some disk activity as they do this. When this has settled down, turn on the RE32. The external

monitor screen can be switched on at any time and will have no effect on the system.

When you power up the RE32, the RE32 will scan the ethernet bus for connected machines. You

will see this screen display momentarily:

A few seconds later, you will see this screen:

This indicates that the RE32 has successfully established communications with the connected

machines. A few seconds after the RE32 is booted, you will see this screen which indicates that

the system is ready for use:

If there is a problem with the AKAINET connections, the system will display this screen permanently:

This indicates that the RE32 has detected a fault and cannot communicate with the connected

machines. If this occurs, check the AKAINET BNC cables to make sure they are securely connected.

If that seems o.k., check the AKAINET termination switches. As shown in the diagram in the

previous section, the TERMINATOR must be switched ON on the first and last devices in the chain

and switched OFF on all other devices.

If this doesn’t work, try powering everything down and trying again. If you still find that you cannot

boot up, please contact your dealer.

But take heart! This should not happen and if you do have problems, you will probably find it is

nothing more serious than a damaged AKAINET BNC cable or that the AKAINET termination has

been incorrectly set. If these are alright, however, but the problem persists, you should contact

your dealer.
