K-2 Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual • May 2004
K.1 Setting Up the Serial Port Connection
The RAID controller can be configured by means of a host system running a VT100
terminal emulation program or by a Microsoft Windows terminal emulation
program such as Hyperterminal.
Note – You can also monitor and configure a RAID array over an IP network with
the Sun StorEdge Configuration Service program after you assign an IP address to
the array. For details, see “Setting Up Out-of-Band Management Over Ethernet” on
page 4-20 and refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Configuration Service User’s Guide.
1. Use a null modem serial cable to connect the COM port of the RAID array to an
unused serial port on your host system.
Note – A DB9-to-DB25 serial cable adapter is included in your package contents to
connect the serial cable to a DB25 serial port on your host if you do not have a DB9
serial port.
2. Power up the array.
3. On the server, choose Start → Programs → Accessories → Hyperterminal →
HyperTerminal.
4. Type a name and choose an icon for the connection.
