ATTO Technology S-Class manual General instructions

General instructions

1Insert the proper connector into the Host Interface Card in the back of the array. (Refer to

Connecting a Fibre Channel Array on page 11 for Fibre Channel and Connecting a SCSI Array on page 13 for SCSI).

2Connect the cable (Fibre Channel or SCSI) from your host system to the Host Interface Card connector on the back of the array. The cable you use depends upon your application, the environment and distance.

3Make sure the power switches on the power supplies on the rear of the unit are in the stand- by position. Plug in the power cords to the back of the unit, then into an appropriate power source (100-240 VAC). The power source must be connected to a protective earth ground and comply with local electrical codes. Improper grounding may result in an electrical shock or damage to the unit.

4Press the stand-by power switch for each power supply to the ON position. When the green power LED on the back of the unit is lit, the power supply is fully operational and delivering power to the system. The power LED on the front of the array will light once the firmware begins to execute.

When the power is turned on, the LEDs on the front of the array will flash twice. Drives will spin up in groups of three, about every one to two seconds. The individual LEDs will blink. After all available drives have spun up, the individual drive LEDs will stay lit. When all available drives are operational, the ready LED on the top front panel of the management card will remain lit.

5Reboot your computer

6Determine the best configuration for your needs (i.e. JBOD, RAID, etc.) and refer to the rest of this manual for more detailed explanations and configuration information.
