Select Controller; The Two Menu Areas „Monitor" And „Express/Advanced Setup - ICP RS Series User Manual

After selecting „Sockets" and „TCP/IP" you may enter the IP address of the server (if you
would have chosen „SPX/IPX" ICPCON would scan the network for suitable servers, which
have SPX/IPX protocol). After that you may enter your user name and password.
J.2.2 Select Controller
After this login procedure ICPCON delivers a list of ICP RAID Controllers which are installed
in this server (in this example one GDT7563RN). This list contains information on the con-
troller name, the PCI Bus system (0=primary, 1=secondary, etc.) and separated with a slash
the PCI slot number, the controller`s features (C=Chaining, 0=RAID 0, 1=RAID 1, 4=RAID 4,
5=RAID 5, 10=RAID 10) and the firmware level. After selecting the controller with ENTER,
all further settings and changes to these settings within ICPCON refer to this ICP Controller
and the connected devices.
