• Method 1: LCD Panel with Keypad
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. For additional
information on using the LCD to congure the RAID subsystem
see the Chapter 4 of LCD Conguration Menu on the user
manual. The LCD provides a system of screens with areas for
information,status indication, or menus. The LCD screen displays
up to two lines at a time of menu items or other information.
When the SAS RAID subsystem is fully booted up and running
under normal conditions, the LCD screen shows the company
name and IP address, as shown below:
• Method 2: RS-232 Port Connection
For additional information on using the RS-232 port to congure
the SAS RAID subsystem see the Chapter 5 of VT-100 Utility
Conguration on the user manual.
Note:
It's a good ideal to turn on your SAS RAID subsystem before
turning on the host computer. This will insure that the host
computer recognize the volumes and drivers in the SAS
RAID subsystem.
