INFOSTATION USER INTERFACE

CAUTION:

The User Interface Module contains NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS in-

side the unit. Warranty is VOID if module is opened. Refer all servicing

The StorCase InfoStation is an intelligent external expansion chassis. Each InfoStation is

equipped with a comprehensive User Interface (UI) which provides chassis status based on

several internal environmental sensors. This section describes the InfoStation UI features and

functions.

The UI has two (2) main functions:

1. To display the enclosure's environmental status and indicate alarm conditions

2. To interact with the User to select drive bay SCSI IDs and the Enclosure ID

The UI is comprised of the following two components:

1. Display and Control Panel

2. Drive Carrier Indicators (LEDs) and Insert/Remove Push Buttons (9 total)

The InfoStation Display and Control Panel provides an 8-character scrolling display, system

status LEDs and control buttons (which allow the User to select system drive bay SCSI IDs,

Enclosure ID, etc.), and also to view up-to-date chassis environmental conditions.
