DP-503-F4A3 RAID SUBSYSTEM
Installation and User Manual 27
Chapter 3 RAID Configuration
The subsystem has a built-in setup utility containing important information about the
configuration as well as settings for various optional functions in the subsystem. This chapter
explains how to use and make changes to the setup utility.
Configuration Methods
There are three methods of configuring the subsystem. You may configure through the following
methods:
• VT100 terminal connected through the controller’s serial port
• Front panel touch-control keypad
• Web browser-based Remote RAID management via the R-Link Ethernet port
IMPORTANT! The subsystem allows you to access the utility using only one
method at a time. You cannot use more than one method at the same time.
3.1 Configuring Through a Terminal
Configuring through a terminal will allow you to use the same configuration options and functions
that are available from the LCD panel. To start-up:
1. Connect a VT100 compatible terminal or a PC operating in an equivalent terminal emulation
mode to the monitor port located at the rear of the subsystem.
NOTE: You may connect a terminal while the subsystem’s power is on.
2. Power-on the terminal.
3. Run the VT100 program or an equivalent terminal program.
