RemotaSilo User’s Guide - Rev. B00
Kingston Technology Company
Chassis | RAID Terminal
This command invokes the terminal mode for the CRD-5500 RAID
controller by starting the Window Terminal program and transferring
the RemotaSilo circuit board to a pass-through, or “local” mode.
In the “Local” mode, the RemotaSilo circuit board enables the RAID
controller serial port to pass information to the Host connection serial
port, allowing the user to use the RAID controller to set up the RAID
system.
When the RemotaSilo chassis is in Local mode, “L0” will be displayed
by the two, 7-segment LEDs located on the RemotaSilo chassis’ rear
panel.
The monitoring software is suspended during this mode. If no
information is transferred through the two serial ports for more than 30
seconds, RemotaSilo will disconnect from this pass-through mode and
will return to the chassis monitoring mode. (If this occurs, the two-digit
LED display on the RemotaSilo chassis’ rear panel will return to
displaying the Chassis ID).
Currently, only a CRD-5500 RAID controller, connected to a Master
RemotaSilo chassis, is supported for operation in this mode.
