ATTO Technology S-Class manual Serial Port Access

The Diamond Storage Array supports service operations over the RS-232 serial port using standard terminal emulation software available with most systems.

1Connect a DB-9 null modem serial cable between the port marked RS-232 on the front of the array and one of the computer’s serial ports. A gender changer or DB-9 to DB-25 converter may be needed depending on the cables you are using. The cable must be no longer than three meters

2Boot the computer terminal or terminal emulator.

3Start a terminal emulator program such as Windows HyperTerminal. Set the emulator to use the COM port with cable attached, then the following settings:

• 115200 baud

•8 bit ASCII

•no parity

•ASCII terminal type

•1 stop bit

•flow control none

•echo typed characters locally

4Turn on the array. Upon successful power on and diagnostics, the unit should display the POST (power on self test) information found in Exhibit 5.0-1.

5You should now be in the CLI mode. To see a list of available commands, type help at the Ready prompt or refer to this manual’s Index.

6Use the CLI to configure the unit as a JBOD, RAID Level 0, RAID Level 1, RAID Level 10 or RAID Level 5 array with or without hot spare sleds as described later in this manual.
