Setup Guide
REO Appliance Does Not Start
If DHCP is not operational on your LAN, you must manually edit the
configuration file on the REO SoftKey before you connect it to the REO
Appliance and start it. If you already edited the configuration file or if
your LAN uses DHCP and the REO Appliance is beeping repeatedly, it
might be because a LAN cable is not connected to the Management Port,
the REO SoftKey is not inserted, the key is not inserted correctly, the key
is damaged, the copy-protection file on the key is invalid, or the wrong
key was used.
To determine why the appliance does not start
X Choose one of the following:
 If your LAN does not use DHCP and you have not edited the
configuration file on the key, perform the steps outlined under Editing
the Configuration File (for a non-DHCP or UNIX Management System)
on page 33.
 If your LAN uses DHCP or if you already edited the configuration file,
do the following:
 Use the software console to restart the REO Appliance. For more
information, see Powering Down the REO Appliance on page 105.
 If you want a cable connected to the Management Port, make sure
that you are using the applicable type of cable and that a DHCP
server available (if the Management Port is configured for DHCP, it
will not complete the startup process until a system with DHCP is
located). Otherwise, disconnect the cable from the Management
Port.
 Make sure that you are using the correct key (for example, if you
purchased more than one unit, you might have mixed up the keys).
 Make sure that the key is functional by inserting it into a USB port
on your management system and verifying that you can view the
contents.
 If these steps do not solve the problem, contact Customer Support
at Overland Storage. For contact information, see Customer
Support on page 159.
