b) The following are guidelines on using the serial port:
•
The serial port’s default is set at 9,600 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit
and no parity.
•
In most cases, connecting RD, TD and SG are enough to
establish communication with a terminal.
•
If you are using a PC as a terminal, any VT-100 terminal
emulation software will suffice. Microsoft Windows includes a
terminal emulation program as presented with the "T" terminal"
icon in the Accessories window.
4. Building a RAID System Drive.
The following figure is a basic flowchart when configuring a RAID system.
Hardware installation must be completed before any configurations take
place.

Host LUN
(System Drive)
When power is turned on, the AcerAltos 3102RS RAID box scans all the
hard drives that are on all the drive channels. If a hard drive was
connected after the controller completes initialization, use the "SCAN
SCSI DRIVE" function to let the controller recognize the newly added
hard drive and configure it as a member of a logical drive or a spare
drive.
In accordance to your requirement, configure a logical drive to contain
one or more hard drives based on the desired RAID level, and partition
the logical drive into one or several partitions. Map each partition as one
system drive (LUN). The host SCSI adapter will recognize the system
drives after re-scanning the host SCSI bus.
