PS Series 3000 QuickStart
Step 1. Set Up the Array Hardware
15
F. Connect Array to a Console Terminal
Establish a serial connection between the array and a console terminal (or a
computer running a terminal emulator) to run the
setup
utility, which enables
you to configure the array and add it to a group. After setting up the array, the
serial connection is not needed, but you should keep the serial cable. You can use
a serial connection if there is no network access to the group or array.
Note:
If you have a Microsoft
®
Windows
®
system, you can use the EqualLogic
Remote Setup Wizard to configure an array and create a group instead of
using the
setup
utility. The wizard does not require the serial cable.
The serial connection must have the following characteristics:
•
9600 baud
•
One STOP bit
•
No parity
•
8 data bits
•
No hardware flow control
To create a serial connection, obtain the null modem cable that shipped with the
array and refer to the next figure. The serial cable must always be connected to
Serial Port 0 on the active control module (ACT LED will be green).
