PlatinumRAID Owner’s Manual
6.1.3 2TB CDB Select
Standard SCSI allows for 12 byte Command
Descriptor Blocks (CDB), limiting the
maximum addressable storage to 2TB per
lun. If the total usable capacity of the
RAIDset exceeds 2TB, an additional volume
must be defined. On host operating systems supporting extended (16 byte) CDB addressing,
The PlatinumRAID U320 can be set to 16 byte CDB operation to allow up to 256TB maximum
addressable capacity per LUN. Please verify that your operating system and host bus adapter
support 16 byte CDB before enabling this feature, as data loss and data corruption may occur
if this feature is enabled with an incompatible system!
6.2. Ethernet Configuration
The PlatinumRAID’s Ethernet port is preconfigured for DHCP operation. This menu option
allows the user to reconfigure IP functionality for static IP address or custom MAC address.
6.2.1 DHCP Function
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol that lets network administrators
manage centrally and automate the assignment of IP (Internet Protocol) configurations on a
computer network. Select this option if you wish to use the DHCP address services in your
network. Move the cursor bar to DHCP Function item, then press
ENT
to show the DHCP
setting. Select the “Disabled’ or ‘Enabled” option to enable or disable the DHCP function.
6.2.2 Manual (Static) IP Address
Select this option to manually configure the IP address of the controller. Make sure that the
assigned IP address is in the same range of your default router address and that it is unique
to your private network. To set a static IP address, move the cursor bar to the Main menu
Ethernet Configuration Function item and then press
ENT
. The Ethernet Configuration menu
appears on the screen. Move the cursor bar to Local IP Address item, then press
ENT
to show
the default address setting in the RAID controller. You can reassign the IP address of the
controller (use the
UP/DOWN
keys on the front panel for each digit.)
6.2.3 HTTP Port Number
The HTTP port number is the TCP Port used for the web user interface. the default port is 80,
and can be changed per user specification. To access the web UI with a port other then 80,
point your browser to http://<IPADDRESS>:<HTTP PORT>
6.2.4 Telnet Port Number
The Default Telnet TCP port is 23, and can be changed per user specification.
6.2.5 SMTP Port Number
The Default Telnet TCP port is 25, and can be changed per user specification.
6.2.6 Ethernet Address
A MAC address stands for Media Access Control address and is your computer’s unique
hardware number. This option should not normally be modified.
