RemotaSilo Configured as Master without
RAID Controller
To configure the RemotaSilo chassis without connecting to another
slave RemotaSilo chassis or to a RAID controller, use the asynchronous
serial cable (provided) to make the connection between the DB-9
connector on the RemotaSilo chassis rear panel and the desired COM
port on the host computer. Refer to Appendix B for the signal and pin
assignments on the DB-9 connector.
RemotaSilo Configured as Master with
RAID Controller
To configure the RemotaSilo chassis as a Master with an installed RAID
controller:
a. Use the asynchronous serial cable provided with the
RemotaSilo shipment to make the connection between the
DB-9 connector on the RemotaSilo chassis rear panel and the
desired COM port on the host computer. (Refer to Appendix B
for the signal and pin assignments on the DB-9 connector.)
b. To connect between the RAID controller and the internal DB-9
connector on the RemotaSilo circuit board (see Figure 3), use
an asynchronous serial cable with a plug DB-9 connector
(usually included with the RAID controller). This cable should
have one end equipped with a DB-9 plug connector, and the
other end equipped with a connector which is designed to
mate with the serial cable connector at the RAID controller’s
display terminal port. (If a DB-9 serial cable has not been
provided with the RAID controller, please contact the RAID
controller vendor for assistance). Refer to the RAID controller
installation manual provided by the manufacturer to determine
the signal and pin assignments for connection to the RAID
controller display terminal.
