HARDWARE INSTALLATION
18
Note:
It is a good idea to turn on your ARC-4038
Compact Tower-
JBOD enclosure before turning on the host computer. This
will insure that the host computer recognizes the volumes
and drives in the ARC-4038 JBOD enclosure. If you turn on
the host computer first, be sure of your host subsystem
supporting hot-plug function or rescan command to recognize
the ARC-4038 JBOD enclosure again.
Step 5. Configure JBOD Enclosure
Your ARC-4038 JBOD enclosure can be configured by using a
serial device (terminal emulation). The ARC-4038 JBOD enclo
-
sure can be configured via a VT-100 compatible terminal or a PC
running a VT-100 terminal emulation program. You can attach a
serial (Character-Based) terminal or server com port to the JBOD
enclosure for access to the text-based setup menu. For additional
information on using the RS-232 port to configure the JBOD en
-
closure see the Chapter 3 of CLI Features.
Step 6. Turn on Host Computer Power
Safety checks the installation. Connect all power code. Turn on
the AC power switch at the rear of host computer then press the
power button at the front of the host computer.
Step 7. Format, Partition and Mount the ARC-4038 JBOD
Enclosure Volumes
After the volume set is ready for system accesses, it needs to be
partitioned, formatted, and mounted by the operating system.
There are various steps,
depending
on what operating system you
are using (Windows, Linux, FreeBSD or Mac, etc.). Detailed steps
for each operating system are provided on their disk utility. After
that, the ARC-4038 JBOD enclosure can be fully used.
