G.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 using
the RAID firmware or Sun StorEdge Configuration Service software 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.
A null modem cable has serial signals swapped for connecting to a standard serial
interface.
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 → Communications →
HyperTerminal.
4. Type a name and choose an icon for the connection.
