"After powering on the enclosure, the information indicator flashes to indicate that the system is initializing and is not yet ready to be accessed by either the management console or host systems. Once the flashing amber light turns off, initialization is complete and the system is ready for I/O.
"CAUTION: "Upon power on, a discovery process is initiated to detect all hardware. This process can take an extensive amount of time, depending on the number and type of attachments. You must wait until this process is complete before initiating any other processes."
