Connecting to a host computer

Once the array is initialized, you can connect subsystem to a host computer.
To connect to the host:
1. Power on subsystem and
follow the instructions
earlier in this chapter to
establish a RAID array.
2. Either:
Connect one end of
the supplied eSATA
cable to the eSATA
port and the other
end to a spare
eSATA port on your
host computer.
3. The host computer should detect the presence of the subsystem. Turn to the next
chapter for instructions on formatting your array.
The RAID cannot be recognized by Operating System before initialization
complete.
Advanced users wishing to remotely monitor the status of their array should
connect via an RS-232 cable to a terminal or computer hosting a
subsystem
terminal emulation program.
