Software Configuration
Configuration Overview
To configure the AEC-4412B/7412B, you can use either the Adminis-
trator Utility running through a computer serial port or the front
panel display. The front panel display offers the ability to configure
your system without having to connect the RAID controller to a
VT100 or ANSI terminal through a serial RS-232 interface. The
Administrator Utility provides additional information that cannot
be displayed through the front panel display.
Using either the front panel display or the AEC-4412B/7412B
Administrator Utility you can:
Create arrays
Delete arrays
Monitor array statistics
Verify array integrity
Change array configurations
Monitor drive failures and use spare drives
See Configuration Step-by-Step Instructions on page 3-9. The instruc-
tions in this section describe using the Administrator Utility. How-
ever, you can use the front panel display menu options instead
which mostly parallel the menu options found in the Administrator
Utility. To use the front panel display, follow the instructions in Con-
figuration Step-by-Step Instructions on page 3-9 and see the chart in
Accessing the System Menu on page 3-30 for a summary of the front
panel display menu options.
