Chapter 3 – Initial Configuration
This Chapter describes how to install the hardware and how to connect to and access the RAID
Controller.
Attaching the SCSI Cables to GQUB6-U4S
There are two SCSI ports on the rear of the GQUB6-U4S enclosure. Attach the SCSI cable (or 2
cables if required) to the SCSI ports.
NOTE: If only one SCSI cable is connected to the enclosure, you must install a SCSI
terminator.
Attaching the Fibre Channel Cables to
GQUB6
-FCS4
There are two Fibre channel SFP Ports on the rear of the GQUB6-FCS4 enclosure at the rear of
the unit. Insert the SFP adapters and then attach the FC cabling to these ports.
Accessing the RAID Controller
Following the hardware installation, the RAID subsystem disk drives must be configured and the
volume sets initialized, before they are ready to use. This is carried out using one of the following
methods:
•
VT100 terminal connected through the RAID subsystem serial port.
•
Firmware-embedded TCP/IP & web browser-based RAID manager via the 10/100
Ethernet LAN port.
The embedded RAID manager provides complete control and management of the RAID
subsystem, eliminating the need for additional hardware or software.
NOTE: The RAID subsystem must only be accessed through one method at a time.
VT100 terminal (via serial port)
The serial port located at the rear of the unit can be used in VT100 mode. The interface cable
provided connects the RS232 port to a PC. The embedded RAID management interface can
access the array through the RS-232 port. You can attach a VT-100 compatible terminal or a PC
running a VT-100 terminal emulation program to the serial port to access the text-based Set-up
Menu.
RAID subsystem RS-232C Port Configuration
To ensure proper communications between the RAID subsystem and VT-100 Terminal
Emulation program, use the following communication settings:
