Reference Manual for the NETGEAR Storage Central SC101
7-6
v1.0, September 2005
I reconnect the CAT5 cable on SC101 to the router, then SCM can’t find SC101, and
my drives get disconnected. Why?
When SC101 detects a cable disconnection and reconnection, it will reboot itself automatically.
Wait about two minutes for the reboot the complete.
The Storage Central Status screen shows more drives than the Manage Drive
screen. Why?
Each time you create a mirrored drive, the SC101 adds two drives, one drive on each hard disk.
Each time you add capacity (i.e., span) to a drive, a new drive is created with the added capacity,
and linked with the original drive. The number of drives shown in the Storage Central Status
screen shows the total number of all those drives, including non-shared drives created on other
PCs, and broken drives too.
The drive creation process failed and I was asked to delete the incomplete drive
and try again. I don’t see that drive in the Storage Central Manager software. How
can I delete it?
Usually, the incomplete drive/broken drive can be seen on the Manage Broken Drive screen and
can be deleted from there.
In very rare cases, the drive was allocated in the SC101 hard disk, but it is not formatted and its
property was not communicated back to the Storage Central Manager, which caused the SCM to
not able to find it.
When this happens, the drive is created unsuccessfully, but it may still take up storage space from
the SC101 hard disk. You should remove it to make the storage space available to other drives. See
the SC101 support page on the NETGEAR Web site http://www.netgear.com for further assistance.
Restoring the Default Configuration
This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings to the SC101.
Use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the Storage Central SC101. Use this method to
reset the administrator password to the default “password”, and detach all non-shared drives (only
one PC is able to attach to a non-shared drive, if that PC goes away, reset is the only way for
another PC to gain access to that drive). Please be assured that the reset process will NOT reset any
drives or the data on the drives.
See “The reset button is located between the Ethernet RJ-45 connector and the power socket.” on
page 2-4 for a description of this button.
