FORTRAH1 Chaparral G5312 InstallationGuide Rev C 9-1
For bus management, the FORTRA10-bay SCSI RAID enclosures have a
SAF-TE (SCSI Accessed Fault-Tolerant Enclosure) processor designed to the
ANSI approval version 2.0 of the SAF-TE specification. Test utility software is
provided for setup and diagnostics of the SAF-TE processor. The SAF-TE
processor can monitor and manage all devices including itself. There does not
need to be any devices installed in the unit to communicate with the SAF-TE
processor.
SAF-TE ID
The SAF-TE board has a SCSI ID that defaults to SCSI ID 5. This default ID can
be changed using the JMR SAF-TE Setup utility software. Ensure that no other
devices on the channel conflict with the SAF-TE SCSI ID. The SCSI ID settings
made using the SAF-TE processor will always override any hard ID jumper
settings on the unit.
Minimum System Requirements
FORTRAunit with SAF-TE
386 processor or better
3.5" floppy drive (1.44 MB)
4 MB RAM
1.5MB free hard disk space
SAF-TE compatible host adapter
ASPI manager installed
MS-DOS 5.0 or higher, Windows 95 & 98 DOS mode supported (Windows NT
& 2000, UNIX are NOT supported).
The utility software is for set-up and diagnostics only. It can be used to access
SAF-TE commands for setup purposes even when a SAF-TE compatible host
adapter is not installed.
Software Installation
Before installing the software, ensure that the minimum system requirements
have been met. A SCSI host adapter must be installed and connected to the unit.
The host system must be running a compatible operating system and have a host
controller compatible ASPI manager installed. The SCSI host adapter must
recognize the SAF-TE processor on the bus in order for the software to
communicate with the enclosure.
