Turning On the Windows Client
When you finish connecting the Windows client hardware and cables, you can
start up the client. Before you start up the Windows client, make sure the File
Manager is installed and running.
To start up your Windows client:
1. Turn on all the peripherals connected to the Windows client. Make sure
their power lights are on.
2. Press the Power button on the Windows client.
The MEDIASwitch 16-4G port lights are on when the client is ready.

Before you attempt to install the MediaNetwork Windows Fibre Channel client
software, make sure the Windows client starts up properly.
Using Windows 2000 Power Options
Windows 2000 offers power options to help manage power consumption on
your Windows 2000 workstation. Avid recommends you do not use the power
options to cause your workstation to go into Standby or Hibernate mode.
c
Two of the power options, Standby and Hibernate, can cause all the drives
connected to a workstation (both local drives and remote drives connected
through MEDIASwitch 16-4G) to go into an inactive mode. This prevents
the File Manager from seeing the drive set and rebooting. Also, all clients
with mounted workspaces are unusable until the File Manager and the
storage are available again.
