Your SAS RAID subsystem can be configured by using the LCD 
with keypad, a serial device (terminal emulation) or LAN port.

 Method 1: RS-232 Port Management

You can attach a serial (Character-Based) terminal or server com 

port to the RAID subsystem for access to the text-based setup 

menu via a VT-100 compatible terminal or a PC running a VT-100 

terminal emulation program to configure RAID sets and volume 

sets. The firmware-based terminal array management interface 

can access the array through this RS-232 port.

The manufacture default password is set to 0000.

 To ensure 

proper communications between the RAID controller and the 

VT-100 Terminal Emulation, please configure the VT100 terminal 

emulation settings to the values shown below:

For additional information on using the RS-232 port to configure 

the RAID subsystem see the Chapter 5 of VT-100 Utility 

Configuration.

Step 6: Configure RAID Volumes

 Method 2: LCD Panel with Keypad (Optional)

You can use LCD front panel and keypad function to simply 

create the RAID volume. The LCD status panel also informs you 

of the disk array’s current operating status at a glance. The LCD 

provides a system of screens with areas for information, status 

indication, or menus. 

The manufacture default password is set 

to 0000.

 

The initial screen is as following:

Using the included power cord, connect the power supply to a 

suitable AC power source. There is one main power on/off switch 

located on the rear side of the RAID subsystem. This on/off power 

switch is used to apply or remove power from the power supply 

to the RAID subsystem.

 Method 3: LAN Port Management

User can remote manage the ARC-8042 RAID subsystem without 

adding any user specific software (platform independent) via 

Type the User Name and Password. 

The RAID controller default 

User Name is “admin” and the Password is “0000”
