Your RAID-800S subsystem has a setup utility built into the controller's
firmware. It contains important information about the configuration and
settings for various optional functions in the subsystem. This chapter
explains how to use and make changes to the setup utility.
6.1 Configuration Methods
There are two methods of configuring your subsystem. You may
configure your subsystem through the LCD panel on the Disk Array
Controller or by connecting a terminal on the serial monitor port located
at the rear of the subsystem.
Warning:
6.1.1 Configuring through the Disk Array Controller
If you are configuring your subsystem using the Disk Array Controller,
please refer to Chapter 1 for descriptions of the LCD screen and the
functional buttons. Refer to Chapter 5 for the quick setup guide to
configuring your subsystem using the controller.
6.1.2 Configuring through a Terminal
Configuring through a terminal will allow you to perform the same
configuration options and functions that are available from the Disk
Array Controller. To start-up:
1. Connect a VT100 compatible terminal or a PC operating in an
equivalent terminal emulation mode to the monitor port located at the
rear of the subsystem. Refer to section 1.5 and 3.8 for the location of
the monitor port.
Note:
2. Power-on the terminal.
3. Run the VT100 program or an equivalent terminal program.

RAID-800S User's Manual
You cannot access the utility using both methods at
the same time. The controller allows you to access the
utility using one method at a time.
You may connect a terminal even while the sub-
system's power is on.
