Attaching a Resource to the System
1. Start the DOS Configurator and select SSA Adapter List from the main menu.
2. Select the appropriate adapter, then from the Adapter Menu, select System
Resources.
A list is displayed showing the resources that are attached to the system. The list
will be empty if this is the first time the configurator has been run, since no
resources have yet been attached. Items in the list can include disks, arrays, and
disks or arrays with fast write capabilities.
The resources are listed in the sequence of the resource numbers. The
configurator assigns disk drive addresses that are directly related to the positions in
the resource list that you have selected for the attachment of the resources. The
system configures the resources in resource number sequence when the system is
booted.
3. If you are attaching the first resource and the list is as yet empty, just press Insert.
If there are resources already listed, put the cursor against the name of the
resource immediately below where you want the new resource to be added, then
press Insert.
To add a resource to the end of the list, put the cursor below the current end of the
list and press Insert.
4. A list of candidate resources is displayed:
These are the resources that are in the free state.
5. Select the resource that you want to attach.
The name disappears from this list and the System Resources window is
re-displayed showing the new resource added with the appropriate resource
number assigned.
6. The SSA subsystem is now ready for use with your system.
