PixelStor 5000 User Manual
Rev. 1, May 2013

4-18

connect a serial console to the PixelStor 5000 to manage the system. The CLI can be accessed

via a terminal emulator running on a PC or laptop connected directly to the mini Serial port on

the back of the PixelStor 5000 .

1. To minimize any IP address conflicts, make sure the

PixelStor 5000

is not connected to

your network.

2. Connect the supplied serial cable to the COM port on either controller.

3. Connect the opposite end of the cable to a workstation or laptop with a terminal

emulation program (i.e. Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal).

4. You must use the following terminal emulation settings on the workstation/laptop to

access the CLI:



Baud Rate

– 115,200



Data Bits

– 8



Parity - None



Stop Bits

– 1



Flow Control Off

5. Power-on the PixelStor 5000, using the DC power/standby switch-on each power supply.

The green DC power light on the power supply should turn on and stay on. The green
activity light on each installed disk drive should be on. The

PixelStor 5000

comes with

its own pre-installed CLI and system software. When the system is powered on, the

software boots automatically.

6. Once connected and running the

PixelStor 5000

will prompt you for the following login

information on the workstation/laptop terminal screen:



– root



Password

– root

See Appendix B

– Using the Command Line Interface, for more information on the

CLI and a full list of commands. The mini-serial port is configured for 115.2K Baud,

N81.

When the

PixelStor 5000

is started for the first time, the system may take 1-2

minutes as it does a full system check. This only happens on the first start-up or

after an improper power shut down. If the system is restarted during the initialization

sequence, the process starts over from the beginning. Please wait for the system to

finish its initialization sequence to avoid start-up delays. The mini-serial connector

can be connected to monitor information sent to the console during the boot

process.
