Chapter 1 – Introduction To avoid the unmatched cable between the Fibre HBA in the Host and Fibre-ATA RAID SYSTEM, Fibre-ATA RAID system doesn’t include the Fibre interface with the standard configuration. There are many different kinds of Fibre connectors on varied of Fibre HBAs. What else you need Hard disk drives (different RAID levels requires different numbers of HDDs. Refer to Software Operation manual for more detail information.

Hardware Installation Guide SSppaaccee R Reeqquuiirreem meenntt When selecting a location for your system, be sure to allow an adequate space. The system has vents around it which will require a minimum of 3 inches of unobstructed space for airflow. Openings in the equipment should be blocked, or there may be an issue of reliability problems with your system. A system product should never be place around a radiator or heat register.
Chapter 1 – Introduction IInnssttaallll hhaarrdd ddiisskkss The RAID SYSTEM includes 8/12/16 ( depending on your models) removable disk cartridges. The following sections describe how to install disks into RAID SYSTEM subsystems. Remove Cartridges Slide the latch to unlock. Release the handle by sliding lift the release button. Lift the handle to disengage the disk cartridge from the slot. Install HDDs. Put HDD into the Cartridge. Skip this procedure if you are using SATA HDDs.

Chapter 2 – Hardware Installation Removing the controller from PA-08/PA-16/SA-16: Unscrew the Fasteners of Bracket then slide it back. Disconnect the host cables. Turn anti-clock wise to release the thumb screw. Use the eject kit to remove controller board. PA-08/SA-08/SA-08P PA-16 SA-16/SA-16P/PA-16P Installing the controller into PA/08/PA-16/SA-16: Reverse the procedures as above to install the controller into SA-16/PA-16. Then according to “Appendix C.
Hardware Installation Guide Removing the controller from BR-8000D/R : In order to access internal components, remove the controller box cover by unscrew the fasteners of the cover and then slide it back and lift it off. Disconnect the host cables, then unscrew four fasteners on the controller and lift upward to remove it. Installing the controller into BR-8000D/R : Reverse the procedure of “removing the controller” to install the controller into BR-8000. Then according to “Appendix C.
Chapter 2 – Hardware Installation Removing the controller from BR-1200 & BR-1600: Remove the Fan modules by anti-clock wise to release the thumb screws then slide it back and lift it off.
Hardware Installation Guide R Reeppllaacciinngg // U Uppggrraaddiinngg SSO OD DIIM MM M Read the pre-installation notices earlier in this chapter before proceeding with installation. RAID SYSTEM is normally supplied with 64MB (PA-08/BR-8000) and 128MB (SA-16/PA-16/ BR-1200/BR1600) DRAM installed.
Chapter 2 – Hardware Installation The RAID system controller board already implement a 512Mb memory for the propose of Parity bit to support the ECC feature. There is no need to install the SODIMM with parity.
Hardware Installation Guide SODIMM specifications:(Applied on PA-08P/SA-08P, PA-16P/SA-16P) Minimum Recommended 200-pin SDRAM SODIMM module (PC-200). DDR SODIMM, with or without parity With Parity, for security Minimum of one SODIMM with 64 MB. The memory card socket can support , 64, 128, 256 , 512 MB or 1GB of memory. Minimum of 64MB. More memory (up to 1GB) equals better performance: the size of the memory module defines the cache writing space available to the RAID SYSTEM.
Chapter 2 – Hardware Installation Installing SODIMM To install a SODIMM, ensure the system is power off and disconnected. Then: 1. Unscrews three fasteners. 2. Remove the daughter board. 3. Insert a memory card at a 45-degree angle into the memory card socket so that the gold teeth of the card are no longer visible. 4. Press the card down firmly until the latches lock it into place.

Hardware Installation Guide T Tuurrnniinngg oonn ffoorr tthhee ffiirrsstt ttiim mee When cabling is completed, RAID SYSTEM can be turned on. This should be done in the following order: 1. First turn on the power switch of RAID SYSTEM. 2. Then power on and boot the host computer(s) When RAID SYSTEM is running, you are ready to configure one or more RAID arrays. You have the following options: 1.
Appendix A – Troubles Shooting Appendix A T Trro ou ub bllee S Sh ho oo ottiin ng g Problems setting up Newly installed memory fails during Self-Test or is not detected. Possible Cause: The Memory SO-DIMM module may not be properly seated or may not be supported by RAID SYSTEM. Fix: Re-sit the memory module in the socket and retry. If it continues to fail try moving it to the other memory socket. Make sure the correct memory type is being installed. RAID SYSTEM supports 144-pin SO-DIMM SDRAM.
Hardware Installation Guide being processed. When these characters are displayed, RAID SYSTEM will halt requests from the host (see above). Fix: Make sure the Write Buffer option of the RAID Params menu is enabled. In addition, more cache memory may be required. By increasing the cache memory, the write buffer space increases and will be able to handle the higher write requests. LCD display shows OWOOOS Possible Cause: “W” means “warning” - there are many bad sectors on your HDD. Fix: Change hard drives.
Appendix A – Troubles Shooting 123456789 X I 123456789 Alert message problems I am unable to send a Page or FAX using the modem port. Possible Cause 1: The Page and Fax options are not enabled. Fix: Go to the Configuration Mode and enable Page and FAX notification via the System Params menu option. Possible Cause 2: The default modem initialization string is not compatible with your modem. Fix: Change the modem initialization string in the System Params option.
Hardware Installation Guide SCSI problems RAID SYSTEM is not properly identified by the SCSI adapter during initialization of the computer system. Possible Cause: The SCSI ID set for the RAID SYSTEM is being used by another SCSI device attached to the same SCSI card. Fix: Select the Set SCSI ID option from the SCSI Params menu and specify a different SCSI ID. Most SCSI host adapters provide an onboard ROM BIOS, or software utility, that displays the devices attached and their SCSI IDs.
