The jumpers JP1 and JP2 are by default are offset which enables the use of the
automatic fan speed control. The jumper JP1 controls Fan 0 and JP2 controls Fan 1.
Placing the included jumper on both pins of each jumper will override the
automatic setting and set the fans to maximum power.

Setting the Communications Parameters Automatically

Because the terminal program communication settings are different when
interfacing with the SES Controller card and the RAID controller, it is possible to
be working with one program and switch connections to the other which will
cause the communication program to fail. An example of this would be where
you are performing a function with the SES Controller card Enclosure Terminal
Utility at 9,600 BAUD and switch connections to the RAID controller menu-based
or text-based program which uses 115,200 BAUD.
If this situation occurs, you can have the controller set itself to match the terminal
communication program settings during the controller boot cycle.
1
Power on the storage system.
2
Power on the host system and start your terminal communication program.
3
After the enclosure has completed its power on self test (30 seconds for
256MB memory, 50 seconds for 512MB memory, or 90 seconds for 1GB
memory), begin pressing the <Enter> key. The screen will display "Monitor
mode" when invoked.
The controller will automatically set the BAUD rate protocol and it will
display the new BAUD rate at the header of the command prompt. Reset the
controller by typing "rs" and pressing <Enter>. This will restart the controller
using the new baud rate.
4
You can now enter the menu-based or text-base VT-100 interfaces for the
Configuration program.
