WiebeTech LLC Connecting to a DHCP-enabled network On DHCP networks, a new IP address is dynamically assigned to the ProSATA SS8 as soon as the network detects it. Simply type this IP address into a web browser on your computer. This will access the ProSATA’s GUI, which you will use to configure the unit.
Working with Volumes over 2TB in size Although the ProSATA SS8 can create volumes larger than 2TB, operating systems cannot usually access such volumes. This is because most systems support only 32-bit LBA (Logical Block Addressing).
• To avoid overheating, ProSATA SS8 should be operated in a well-ventilated area and in such a way that sufficient airflow is maintained across the controller chips.
Q: What type of cable connector plugs into the Ultra-320 SCSI port on the back of this product? A: The Ultra-320 SCSI port on the ProSATA SS8 is of the HD68 (female) connector type. A SCSI cable with a HD68 male connector will plug into the ProSATA.
