Setting Up the HC400T
The HC400T is a CTERA Edge Filer running on a HP ProLiant MicroServer.
The HC400T Front Panel
The HC400T includes 4 drive bays, behind the front bezel. These drives must not be tampered with unless CTERA support has given permission. On the right of the front panel the lock indicator must show a blue LED.
The front panel includes 2 USB 3.2 ports which can be used to attach peripheral devices, such as a keyboard and mouse.
Note: There are additional USB ports in the back panel, so you can choose to use either the front or back panel USB ports, whichever is more convenient.
Front panel LEDs may indicate if there is a problem with the health of your HC400T. The LEDs are described from left to right.
