System Setup
The attached TX16 chassis will function as an additional Group (3) within the Facilis
TerraBlock Manager to create and manage additional virtual volumes (see the
TerraBlock User Guide for creating virtual volumes). Support for attaching the TX16
to a TerraBlock server requires:
1.
Version 5.5.x or later release of the TerraBlock server.
2.
The TerraBlock server must be a Windows 7 64Bit server (See the TerraBlock
Release Notes for server upgrade options, or contact
Facilis Sales
).
3.
The ATTO H680 SAS HBA installed in the TerraBlock server.
4.
A valid license. A new license from Facilis is required if running any version
prior to 7.1. Consult your dealer or contact Facilis Sales.
Server RAID Adapter Installation
Installation of the ATTO H680 HBA into the TerraBlock Server requires the server to
be shutdown. All clients should save their work and then shutdown prior to the
installation and power down of the TerraBlock Server.
Install the ATTO H680 HBA into the TerraBlock Server (see the ATTO installation
guide on the USB key supplied).
Boot the server and install the appropriate drivers for the Windows 7 64 Bit
Operating System (OS) found on the supplied Facilis USB Key (Drivers directory on
USB Key).
Install the ATTO Configuration tool for Windows found on the supplied USB key onto
the TerraBlock (Utilities directory on USB Key).
Cabling
Connect the external
SAS cables (supplied)
from the TX16
(both
ports)
to the TerraBlock
server’s ATTO SAS HBA
(port A and B). Refer to
the section “Bringing the
Expansion Chassis
Online” before physically
connecting the cable.
Power cords
Connect the power cord (supplied) into the AC port on the rear of the enclosure.
Before turning on the TX16, make sure that you have all the drive carriers installed
in the enclosure. Proceed to the next section before powering on the TX16. The
Power button is located on the front of the enclosure (enclosure door open).
