E.1

Setting Up the Serial Port Connection

The RAID controller can be configured by means of a Solaris workstation running a
VT100 terminal emulation program, or by a Microsoft Windows terminal emulation
program such as HyperTerminal.

Note –

You can also monitor and configure a RAID array over an IP network with the

SANscape program once you have assigned an IP address to the array. For details, see
“Configuring a Host COM Port to Connect to a RAID Array” on page 4-26 and refer
to the SANscape User’s Guide.

1. Use a null modem serial cable to connect the COM port of the RAID array to an

unused serial port on a Solaris workstation.
A DB9-to-DB25 serial cable adapter is included in your package contents for
connecting the serial cable to a DB25 serial port on a workstation.
