Macintosh Users

If your Host PC is an Apple Macintosh, you do not have the RS-232 serial port
needed to set-up a Management connection.
Promise has developed a Telnet utility for the Macintosh that establishes a Telnet
connection between the Macintosh PC and the VTrak without an initial setup
though an RS-232 serial connection. See Mac OS X on page29 for more
information.
As an alternative, obtain the following items to make a serial connection:
• A USB to DB-9 serial converter
• Terminal emulation software
Several manufacturers offer USB to DB-9 serial converters and cables. For
terminal emulation software, go to:

Download and install the ZTerm software onto your system.
Connect the Power
VTrak systems will operate on either 115 volts AC or 230 volts AC. The V Trak
15110 includes two replaceable power supply modules with autosense voltage
selection and Power Factor Correction (PFC).

Warning
Power supplies can contain over 240 volts. This high voltage, if
mishandled, can cause serious injury or death.
Do not touch or handle a power cable or power supply unless you
have been trained and prepared to perform this task.
