JBOD CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION

NOTES:

The configuration and use of the InfoStation JBOD Controller requires a certain

level of expertise and experience on the part of the user/integrator. Since there

are many configuration options and variables (ie. host platforms, applications,

etc.), only general guidelines will be discussed in this User's Guide.

Also refer to the disk manufacturer's documentation for specific information

regarding the disks.

Configuration Overview

The JBOD control panel (Figure 8) allows for exploration of all configuration options. However,

the LCD screen can only display limited amounts of information at a time.
To display all information on a larger terminal screen, the JBOD Controller can be accessed

via a computer serial port (female DB9-female DB9 cable provided). Refer to section "Monitor

Utility" for further information.

NOTE:

The Monitor Utility and the front control panel cannot be used at the same time.

When one is active, the other is disabled.
