Installing the NBX System Hardware 97 5 Lift the chassis and slide the two keyed mounting brackets over the screws in the wall. 6 While holding the chassis in place, install screws into the top holes of each mounting bracket, and then tighten all four screws. Installing a Disk Mirroring Kit Disk mirroring is an option that is supported on the V5000 and the V3001R. Disk mirroring provides the ability to run a second disk in parallel with the first. Data is kept current on both disks. If one disk fails, the second disk takes over without any system interruption. The primary disk is already mounted in your V5000 or V3001R chassis. The second disk (if you purchased one) is packaged separately for you to install. If you are not installing a second disk with your NBX system, you can skip this section and proceed to "Powering Your NBX System" on page 100. Disk Mirroring is enabled when you install the disk mirroring license key in the NBX NetSet utility. The NBX NetSet utility prompts you to reboot the system after you install the license key to activate mirroring. To disable mirroring, you must remove the mirroring license. Always perform a system backup that includes your licenses and voice mail before you make a hardware change. Be sure to copy the backup file to a remote location. When you install a second drive for disk mirroring, the system automatically synchronizes the disks, but it is still good practice to perform a data backup before you begin the operation. CAUTION: To avoid damage to electronic circuits, always wear an anti-static grounding strap when handling the disk drive or NBX system components. When you ground the strap, do not ground it to an NBX chassis because the chassis is not grounded until you install it in a properly grounded setting. To check the status of the disk system: 1 Login to the NBX NetSet utility as administrator. 2 Click Reports > System Data. 3 Scroll to the bottom of the System Data screen and click the Disk Status button. Disk Mirroring is an optional feature. If you do not install a second disk when you first install your system, you can purchase an upgrade kit at a later time.

each mounting bracket, and then tighten all four screws.
Installing a Disk
Mirroring Kit
Disk mirroring is an option that is supported on the V5000 and the
V3001R. Disk mirroring provides the ability to run a second disk in parallel
with the first. Data is kept current on both disks. If one disk fails, the
second disk takes over without any system interruption. The primary disk
is already mounted in your V5000 or V3001R chassis. The second disk (if
you purchased one) is packaged separately for you to install. If you are
not installing a second disk with your NBX system, you can skip this
section and proceed to
“

.
Disk Mirroring is enabled when you install the disk mirroring license key
in the NBX NetSet utility. The NBX NetSet utility prompts you to reboot
the system after you install the license key to activate mirroring. To
disable mirroring, you must remove the mirroring license.
Always perform a system backup that includes your licenses and voice
mail before you make a hardware change. Be sure to copy the backup file
to a remote location. When you install a second drive for disk mirroring,
the system automatically synchronizes the disks, but it is still good
practice to perform a data backup before you begin the operation.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to electronic circuits, always wear an
anti-static grounding strap when handling the disk drive or NBX system
components. When you ground the strap, do not ground it to an
NBX chassis because the chassis is not grounded until you install it in a
properly grounded setting.
To check the status of the disk system:
1
Login to the NBX NetSet utility as administrator.
2
Click
Reports > System Data
.
3
Scroll to the bottom of the System Data screen and click the Disk Status
button.
Disk Mirroring is an optional feature. If you do not install a second disk
when you first install your system, you can purchase an upgrade kit at a
later time.
