Switch off your computer. Connect the RAID system to a suitable
current source (110-260 V). Connect your RAID with the included
SCSI cable to the SCSI port of your Macintosh. By default there is a
D68:HD68 cable as part of the package content. Depending on the
SCSI controller you use, you may have to change the cable to fit to
the computer’s SCSI port. Please make sure that the Raid’s ID
(default: ID 6) is not used by any other SCSI device connected to
your system. The internal termination is switched off by default. That
means, that you have to terminate the RAID tower externally by
using the included active terminator. Just put it on the second port of
the RAID System if there are no more devices to connect. To ensure
proper function we recommend using the RAID with a dedicated
controller without additional devices! If you want to use it in a SCSI
chain, please make sure that the chain is correctly terminated!
After having the RAID connected to your computer switch it on. The
RAID starts its self test and should end it with the status “ready” or
“done”. After that, you can power up your computer.
Hint: When buying a RAID system, always buy a additional harddisk
from the same type used in the RAID. In case a harddisk failes, you
will always be able to directly replace it and to keep on working
while you send in the defective disk for repair or exchange. Due to
rapid changes in technology, the needed disk may not be available
directly from stock when needed and takes some time of delivery!
