Once ACS-9910 is set up and connected, the array should be
initialized. The initialization process is automatic.
By performing Quick Setup, users can establish an array in
seconds. There are two ways to perform Quick Setup:
Using the control panel
Using the embedded Monitor Utility
Both methods are explained in this chapter.
Quick Setup can be performed using the control panel of Monitor Utility. The control panel can
be accessed immediately, so Quick Setup can be completed very quickly using this method.
Use of the Monitor Utility requires a connection to be established first between the host
terminal (which should have third party communication software supporting ANSI terminal
emulation) and ACS-9910. Alternatively, the Monitor Utility can be accessed from a dedicated
ANSI terminal.

Quick Setup can only be used to establish a single array. To establish a
multiple array, turn to Chapter 5.
Quick Setup cannot be used to reconfigure an existing array. To do this, turn
to Chapter 5.
Ensure the required number of disks for all arrays is connected before
configuring an array. RAID Level 3 and 5 require a minimum of 3 disks, RAID
Level 1 a minimum of 2 disks, RAID Level 0 a minimum of 1 disk, and RAID
0+1 a minimum of 4 disks.
