DuraStor 412R/6320SS/7320SS Installation and User’s Guide
Accessing Disk Array Administrator
Disk Array Administrator is firmware built into the
DuraStor 6200S/7200S external RAID controller.
To access Disk Array Administrator, you need
■
A computer with terminal emulator software, such as
HyperTerminal.
■
A null modem cable. (You
cannot
use a straight-through serial
cable.)
Using the cable, connect the computer to an RS-232 serial port on
the back of your DuraStor RAID appliance. Connect to CTRL 1 port
for Controller 1 or CTRL 2 port for Controller 2.
Note:
If you are using HyperTerminal as your terminal
emulator software with Windows 2000, make sure that you
have Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or later installed.
Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 fixes the problem of the up and
down arrow (
↑
or
↓)
keys not functioning in HyperTerminal's
VT100 emulation. See
www.microsoft.com
for information.
Configure the RS-232 serial port in your terminal emulator
software using the settings in
Table 3-1 RS-232 Serial Port Settings
