The Diamond Storage Array supports service
operations over the RS-232 serial port using
standard terminal emulation software available
with most systems.
1 Connect a DB-9 null modem serial cable
between the port marked RS-232 on the front of
the array and one of the computer’s serial ports.
A gender changer or DB-9 to DB-25 converter
may be needed depending on the cables you
are using. The cable must be no longer than
three meters
2 Boot the computer terminal or terminal
emulator.
3 Start a terminal emulator program such as
Windows HyperTerminal. Set the emulator to
use the COM port with cable attached, then the
following settings:
• 115200 baud
• 8 bit ASCII
• no parity
• ASCII terminal type
• 1 stop bit
• flow control none
• echo typed characters locally
4 Turn on the array. Upon successful power on
and diagnostics, the unit should display the
POST (power on self test) information found in
Exhibit 5.0-1.
5 You should now be in the CLI mode. To see a
list of available commands, type help at the
Ready prompt or refer to this manual’s Index.
6 Use the CLI to configure the unit as a JBOD,
RAID Level 0, RAID Level 1, RAID Level 10 or
RAID Level 5 array with or without hot spare
sleds as described later in this manual.
