Firmware (FW): The controllers in the A16F-R2422 come with
pre-installed FW, which can be accessed using either the LCD
panel or a PC hyper-terminal. The A16F-R2422 can be connected
to a PC hyper-terminal through the COM ports. Device status
information can be obtained from the FW. The FW is fully
described in the Fibre to SATA RAID Subsystem Operation
Manual that came with your system. Please refer to this manual
for further information.
RAIDWatch: RAIDWatch is a fully integrated, Java-based,
Graphics User Interface (GUI) that came with the subsystem and
can be used to monitor and maintain the subsystem and the RAID
controllers using your web browsers. The LAN port at the back of
each controller module enables you to use an Ethernet cable to
connect to the subsystem.
The RAIDWatch Panel View can be customized to show a direct
representation of the A16F-R2422 in the content panel of the
RAIDWatch screen. Panel View allows you to quickly determine
the operational status of critical A16F-R2422 components. Please
refer to the RAIDWatch User's Manual for further details.
