SNC 5100

Step 5. Install optional utility software, if desired.

Perform steps 4 and 5 after the SNC 5100 is installed and connected to the host system.

Installing the SAN Explorer

The SAN Explorer software is only available for hosts running the Windows NT or Windows 2000 operating systems. It allows you to view the LUN mapping through switches to which your SNC 5100 may be attached.

It includes the Host Registration Service. The Host Registration Service provides the SNC 5100 with periodic host status information including the host name, host type and HBA. The default notification period is 15 minutes.

See the readme file on the CD-ROM for installation instructions. For software updates, visit www.adic.com.

Installing the Host Registration Service

The Host Registration Service is available without the SAN Explorer software for host operating systems other than Windows NT or Windows 2000. It provides the SNC 5100 with periodic host status information including the host name, host type and HBA. The default notification period is 15 minutes.

See the readme file on the CD-ROM for installation instructions. For software updates, visit www.adic.com.

Power-Up and Boot Sequence Guidelines

The SNC 5100 scans the SCSI buses after it boots. If you add or remove SCSI devices after the SNC 5100 has booted, it will not detect the changes until you invoke a SCSI rescan or reboot.

Before you turn on or restart the hosts that are connected to the SNC 5100, you must wait until the SNC 5100 has finished booting. You will know that the SNC 5100 has finished booting when the RDY LED on the user panel blinks at intervals of one second.
