Configuring and Managing the RAID
To set up the RAID Storage chassis, you need to set the storage chassis date, time, and
optional password protection.
You perform these tasks using the Disk Array Storage System Manager
(DASSMGR).
Running DASSMGR
You can run DASSMGR from a bootable diskette, or install it on the Profile system
hard disk and run it from that disk.
Before You Begin
Before you can run DASSMGR, someone must have performed these tasks:
• Connected the storage chassis to the Profile.
• Connected the RS-232 port on the storage chassis to a spare COM port on the
Profile. See “Connecting Serial (console) Cables” on page 2-10.
Starting DASSMGR
To start DASSMGR:
1. Power up the storage chassis.
IMPORTANT Make sure you specify the correct communications port when you
issue the DASSMGR command in the next step. Specifying the wrong port may
cause problems with the device connected to that port.
2. Run DASSMGR using the command DASSMGR x, where x represents the
communication port. For example, to run DASSMGR with communication port 2,
at the MS-DOS command prompt enter
DASSMGR 2
