*1: The time required to turn the power on for the Unified configuration depends on the NAS configuration (or the number of
shared folders and the number of VLAN/Bonding configurations).
*2: The ETERNUS DX900 S5 supports the Compression function only.
• Before turning the server on, check that the
ETERNUS DX and the network devices that connect the
ETERNUS DX and the server are all in READY status.
If the server is turned on while any of these devices are not in READY status, the server may not be able
to recognize the ETERNUS DX.
