MetaStor Command Module Installation Guide

Revision A, March 1998

Note

Depending on the RAID management software you are using, the 
command module, drive units, or other components in your system 
may be identified by names that differ from those used in this book. 
Keep this in mind when using the software.

End of Procedure

Congratulations! You have completed this installation. For 
information about operating and servicing the command module, 
refer to the MetaStor Command Module System Guide, J20971S.
