Setting Up the Serial Port Connection

The RAID controller can be configured by means of a host system running a VT100
terminal emulation program or by a Windows terminal emulation program such as
HyperTerminal.
Note – You can also monitor and configure a RAID array over an IP network using
the RAID firmware or the Sun StorEdge Configuration Service program after you
assign an IP address to the array. For details, see
Management Over Ethernet" on page 4-25
Configuration Service User's Guide.
1. Use a null modem serial cable to connect the COM port of the RAID array to an
unused serial port on your host system.
A null modem cable has serial signals swapped for connecting to a standard serial
interface.
Note – A DB9-to-DB25 serial cable adapter is included in your package contents to
connect the serial cable to a DB25 serial port on your host if you do not have a DB9
serial port.
2. Power up the array.
3. On the Windows 2000 server, select Start → Programs → Accessories →
Communications → HyperTerminal.
4. Type a name and choose an icon for the connection.
