CLI

Once the management computer detects connection to the USB-capable device, the Management
Controller awaits input of characters from the host computer via the command-line. To see the command-
line prompt, you must press Enter. The MC provides direct access to the CLI.
Note: Directly cabling to the CLI port is an out-of-band connection, because it communicates outside of
the data paths used to transfer information from a computer or network to the RAID chassis.
Device Driver/Special Operation Mode
Certain operating systems require a device driver or special mode of operation. Product and vendor
identification information required for such setup is provided in Table 71 below.

details for connecting to Quantum QXS Storage RAID chassis. Quantum provides a device driver for use in
the Windows environment. Please contact Quantum for instructions about how to download this driver.
