2.2 SteelVine Manager GUI
NOTE: The SteelVine Manager GUI requires Microsoft .NET Framework,
which can be downloaded from

The SteelVine Manager GUI installer is included in the CD that comes
with the RAID box. Install the .NET Framework first then install the
Manager GUI.
The GUI has three modes of operation:
a.
Appliance-Only Mode
b.
GUI-Only Mode
c.
Status-Only Mode
2.2.1 Appliance-Only Mode
This mode allows you to use the RAID box
with the device’s LEDs to indicate status,
without using the SteelVine Manager GUI software. To select a RAID mode in this mode
the first time that a new factory-shipped product is used, ensure that the hard disk
drives are installed, set the rotary switch on the back of the RAID box to the desired
RAID mode (not the GUI Only selection) and turn on the power. To change the RAID
mode thereafter, set the rotary switch (SW3) to the desired position and press the RAID
Mode Confirm (SW2) with a pin tip to create the new virtual volume(s). Creating new
virtual volumes will destroy any existing data that existed on the previous volume.
NOTE: By default, the RAID box operation mode is RAID 1 (SW3 is set to 3).
