The RS-232 port is used if you want to monitor
the status of your array remotely. An RS-232
cable can connect ACUTA to a terminal or PC
equipped with terminal emulation software.
Serial ATA port
The Serial ATA port is used to connect to a host
machine.

Loading drives into ACUTA

The ACUTA should be fitted with four hard disk drives (DISKs). Load each drive into a drive
carrier as follows:
The USB port cannot be used when either of the IEEE 1394 ports is in use.
2 of IEEE 1394 port are for daisy chain to connect another IEEE1394 device.

IBM, Maxtor, Quantum, Seagate, or West Digital.
All four hard disks should be configured as Single Master.
