Hardware Installation
This section describes the installation process of the Data Silo DS500
RemotaSilo chassis specific to the factory-installed RemotaSilo circuit
board. For information concerning the DS500 chassis itself or for
installation of SCSI devices, please refer to the Data Silo DS500 User’s
Guide.
The RemotaSilo circuit board installed in the DS500 chassis provides
the necessary hardware features required to monitor and control up to
sixteen DS500 RemotaSilo RAID storage chassis. Designed for easy
set up and configuration, in the simplest configuration, the RemotaSilo
user is only required to connect two serial port cables: one to the host
computer and one to the RAID controller (if applicable).
The RemotaSilo cable connectors and display LEDs are
accessible from the rear panel of the DS500 chassis as shown in
Figure 2 below:
