Getting Help

The Dell™ PowerVault™ 715N network attached storage (NAS) appliance enables you to easily add storage to a

workgroup, small office or small business network, and offload the file management responsibilities from the server. It is a

"headless" device, which means it has no keyboard, mouse, or monitor but can be managed through the network or by

using console redirection through a serial connection. The system offers the data security capabilities of general-purpose

servers.

This document provides basic information about the system features and specifications. For information about installing,

servicing, or managing the system, see the documents listed in "Other Documents You Might Need."

Front-Panel Features

This section provides a basic overview of the system's features on the front panel, which is shown in Figure 1-2.

Bezel

The system's front bezel includes the power button and clear markings of the light emitting diodes (LEDs) for each hard

drive. See the following sections for more information about the front panel LEDs. Remove the bezel if you need to

remove or replace hard drives. To remove the bezel, push the release latches inward, and pull the bezel away from the

system (see Figure 1-1).

Figure 1-1. Removing the Front Bezel

Power Button

Push the power button to turn on the system.

Hard Drives

The system has four integrated drive electronics (IDE) hard drives. Each hard drive is mounted in a carrier that snaps into

one of the four hard drive bays on the system.

NOTE: The hard drives are not hot-swappable. Therefore, before you replace a drive, you must shut down and

turn off the system.

Hard Drive LEDs

Each hard drive has two LEDs. The LEDs are most visible when the bezel is attached to the front of the system. The LEDs

provide the following information for each hard drive:

When the LED on the left side is green, the hard drive is installed in the drive bay and working. When this LED is

amber, the hard drive is installed in the bay, but it is not working correctly.

When the LED on the right side flashes amber, the hard drive is active.

Back-Panel Features

This section provides a basic overview of the system's features on the back panel. Figure 1-3 shows the back-panel

features of the system.

Power Connector

The power cable plugs in to this connector.

LAN Connectors

Two LAN ports connect the system to an Ethernet network with RJ-45 connector LAN cables.

Serial Port

The serial port enables you to connect to the appliance through console redirection or remote access services (RAS).

NOTE: Console redirection is enabled by default. However, if you disable it in the BIOS Setup utility, you can re-

enable it only by pressing the console redirection button on the system board. See your Installation and

Troubleshooting Guide for information about enabling console redirection.

Options at Boot Time

Normally, the system boots fully on its own with no intervention. However, if you want to update or make changes to the

BIOS, run diagnostics, or reinstall the system image, use the Function Select menu. To access the Function Select

menu, you must connect a client system to the appliance through console redirection. See the Administrator's Guide for

information about console redirection. When the appliance boots, press <F2> (or <Esc><2> if running Windows 2000

prior to Service Pack 2) when the screen displays the following message:

Press F2 to enter the Function Select Menu

The following options are available:

Normal Boot — sets the system to boot from disks 0 and 1, which is the default.

Recovery Boot — boots the system from Disks 2 and 3. The disks contain a mirrored operating system image with

preinstalled default settings. The restored image uses the default settings as they were when you received your

system. See your Administrator's Guide for more information about how to perform a recovery boot.

Reinstallation — enables the appliance to boot from the appliance's reinstallation console, which is installed on the

client system. This operation can destroy all operating system data on your system. To perform this type of

recovery, use a crossover cable and null modem serial cable to connect directly to the system that is not on the

network. See your System Administrator's Guide for information about this type of reinstallation.

System Diagnostics — runs the System Diagnostics program. See your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for

information about system diagnostics.

Update BIOS Flash ROM — updates the BIOS on your system. See "Updating the BIOS" in "Features and Other

Information" for information about updating the BIOS.

Enter BIOS Setup Utility — starts the BIOS Setup utility, which enables you to change system settings. See

"BIOS Setup Options" for information about using the BIOS Setup utility.

Exit — exits the Function Select menu and resumes the normal boot process.

Power Protection Devices

Devices are available that protect against power problems such as power surges, transients, and power failures. The

following subsections describe some of the devices.

Surge Protectors

Surge protectors are available in a variety of types and usually provide a level of protection commensurate with the cost

of the device. Surge protectors prevent voltage spikes, such as those caused during an electrical storm, from entering a

system through the electrical outlet. Surge protectors, however, do not offer protection against brownouts, which occur

when the voltage drops more than 20 percent below the normal AC line voltage level.

Line Conditioners

Line conditioners go beyond the overvoltage protection of surge protectors. Line conditioners keep a system's AC power

source voltage at a fairly constant level and, therefore, can handle brownouts. Because of this added protection, line

conditioners cost more than surge protectors—up to several hundred dollars. However, the devices cannot protect against

a complete loss of power.

Uninterruptible Power Supplies

UPS systems offer the most complete protection against variations in power because they use battery power to keep the

system running when AC power is lost. The battery is charged by the AC power while it is available, so once AC power is

lost, the battery can provide power to the system for a limited amount of time—from 15 minutes to an hour or so—

depending on the UPS system.

UPS systems range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, with the more expensive units

allowing you to run larger systems for a longer period of time when AC power is lost. UPS systems that provide only 5

minutes of battery power allow you to conduct an orderly shutdown of the system, but they are not intended to provide

continued operation. Surge protectors should be used with all UPS systems, and the UPS system should be Underwriters

Laboratories (UL) safety-approved.

Other Documents You Might Need

In addition to this User's Guide, the following documentation is included with your system:

The system Installation and Troubleshooting Guide provides information about installing and troubleshooting your

system.

The System Administrator's Guide provides system operation and management information.

Dell PowerVault NAS Manager online help.

The System Information document provides important safety, regulatory, and warranty information.

The Rack Installation Guide provides information for installing the system in a rack.

You might also have one or more of the following documents.

NOTE: Documentation updates are sometimes included with your system to describe changes to your system or

software. Always read the updates before consulting any other documentation because the updates often contain

the latest information.

When you purchase options separately from your system, you typically receive the documentation that you need to

configure and install the options in your Dell system.

Technical information files—sometimes called "readme" files—might be installed on your hard drive to provide last-minute

updates about technical changes to your system or advanced technical reference material intended for experienced users

or technicians.
