System Setup
The system is very easy to setup. The disk set was created prior to shipping so the
RAID set is ready for use out of the box (see Appendix A for instructions should you
need to re-create the disk set).
RAID Adapter Installation
Install the ATTO R680 HBA into the client to be used (see the ATTO installation guide
on the USB key supplied).
Boot the client and install the appropriate drivers for your Operating System (OS)
found on the supplied Facilis USB Key (Drivers directory on USB Key).
Install the ATTO Configuration tool for your OS found on the supplied USB key onto
the client (Utilities directory on USB Key).
Cabling
Connect the external SAS
cable (supplied) from the
TX16
(both ports)
to the
client ATTO SAS HBA
(ports A and B).
Power cords
Connect the power cords (supplied) into the AC ports on the rear of the enclosure.
Before turning on the TX16, make sure that you have all the drive carriers installed
in the enclosure in order. You can now turn on the TX16. The Power button is
located on the front of the enclosure (enclosure door open) in the upper left corner.
Turn it to the on position.
Bringing the RAID set online
Using the ATTO configuration tool, verify that the RAID is online.
Version of 3.38 or higher of the ATTO Configuration is required for
use with the TX16 as Direct Attached SAS Storage

Open the ATTO configuration tool on your Mac or Windows client.

Highlight the ATTO R680 HBA on the left pane. Then select the RAID tab at
the top right.

The RAID set should be seen and the drives, provided the enclosure is cabled
properly, should list in order. Verify the RAID set is error free, without any
warnings. In the lower window, highlight the Groups tab.

TX16RAID
should be seen as the RAID set. Right click or from the RAID
Management menu at the top, choose AutoMap. This will bring the RAID set
