AKD-C/N

The AKD-C Power Supply and AKD-N drives lie at the core of a decentralized drive system. Up to 16 AKD-N drives can be connected to one AKD-C central power supply. Hybrid cables are used to connect the AKD-C to the drives and to daisy-chain the drives. For more specific information about the individual components, see the AKD-C and AKD-N topics.

How do I restore communication with the drive if I have lost communication and the IP address in the drive is 0.0.0.0.?

First, check the LED on the RJ45 connector. If the LED is not illuminated, then no communication with the drive is possible. Possible causes for loss of communication with the drive include:

  • The network cable is disconnected.
  • A wiring problem exists between the drive and the network switch/hub.
  • The switch/hub is not powered.

If the LED is lit and the IP address on the drive is 0.0.0.0, then the most likely problem is that the drive hardware has not detected a valid link.

During the installation, a dialog box saying “Please wait while the installer finishes determining your disk space requirements” appears and never disappears. How do I remove this box?

This problem is related to the MSI installer. You can resolve it as follows:

  1. Cancel the installation.
  2. Make sure that you have enough disk space on your hard disk (~500MB) to allow Windows .NET update if necessary. If you do not have enough disk space, then make additional space for the installation.
  3. Relaunch the installer (you may need to try this several times, the problem is random).
