Installation and Configuration Manual
Chapter 2 Getting Started
2.1 Preparing the Subsystem and Powering On
Here are the basic steps to prepare the RAID subsystem for use.
1. Attach network cable to the R-Link port and connect the other end of network cable to your
network hub/switch. Or as alternative for configuration, you may connect the serial cable to
the Monitor port and to the serial port of your host/server.
2. Connect the USB cable / eSATA cable to the USB port / eSATA port of the RAID subsystem
and to the host system or server that will use the storage.
3. Connect the power cord to the AC input socket. Plug the other end of power cord to the
power source.
4. Press the power on switch at the rear of the subsystem.
2.2 Installing Hard Drives
This section describes the physical locations of the hard drives supported by the subsystem and
gives instructions on installing a hard drive. The subsystem supports hot-swapping allowing you to
install or replace a hard drive while the subsystem is running.
Each Drive Carrier has a locking mechanism. When the Lock Groove, which is located in carrier
open button, is horizontal, the Drive Carrier is locked. When the Lock Groove is vertical, the Drive
Carrier is unlocked. Lock and unlock the Drive Carriers by using a flat-head screw driver.
