Step 8. Re-check Fault LED Cable Connections (optional)
Be sure that the proper failed drive channel information is dis-
played by the Fault LEDs. An improper connection will tell the user
to ‘‘Hot Swap’’ the wrong drive. This can result in removing the
wrong disk (one that is functioning properly) from the controller.
This can result in failure and loss of system data.
Step 9. Power up the System
After check the installation, reinstall the computer cover, and
reconnect the power cord cables. Turn on the power switch at the
rear of the computer (if equipped) and then press the power but-
ton at the front of the host computer.
Step 10. Congure Volume Set
The controller congures RAID functionality through the McBIOS

the McRAID storage manager with ArcHttp proxy server installed,
LCD module (refer to LCD manual) or through on-board LAN port.
For this option, please refer to Chapter 6, Web Browser-Based
Conguration.
