Tips

Here are some tips for using the Fusion D400RAID enclosure.

Connecting Fusion D400RAID enclosures to a Sonnet RAID
controller other than the one with which it shipped
:
Fusion D400RAID enclosures are matched with their included
Sonnet RAID controller. When you connect a Fusion D400RAID
enclosure to a different card, or connect a Fusion D400RAID
expansion enclosure, you may have to force them to pair up if
the card has not been updated with the latest firmware.

1. Launch the ATTO Configuration Tool. Expand the device

tree in the Device Listing section on the left side of the
window until ExpressSAS R380 is displayed, and then click
ExpressSAS R380.

2. Click the CLI tab. Type automap and then tap the return key;

type saveconfiguration, and then tap the return key again.

Hot-swapping drives:
Fusion D400RAID supports drive hot-swapping* for Mac users,
enabling you to exchange a drive or a set of drives without hav-
ing to shut down your computer. This does not mean you can
simply pull out a drive at any time; you must follow the proce-
dures below or you may lose data in the process.

• Before removing a module, you must put away (“eject”,

“unmount”, “dismount”) the drive volume. Simply drag the
drive icon associated with the drive(s) you wish to remove to
the eject icon on the dock.

• If you remove a module from the Fusion D400RAID with a

drive that was part of a RAID group, you should power off
the enclosure before reinserting the tray. Once the module is
secured, power on the enclosure again; this will ensure that
the RAID group will mount properly.

* Windows and Linux do not provide hot swap support for drives

(drive enclosures) connected to a SATA host controller card
installed in a desktop PC or server.

Connections:
If you experience issues where a drive or volume does not appear
on your computer, or you see an error message stating a drive is
missing when you have the drives configured as a RAID set, the
cause may be as simple as a loose connector, or a drive module
that is not fully seated.

• Disconnect the data cable and reconnect it, making sure it

“clicks” in place at the RAID controller end, and is screwed in
securely at the enclosure end.

• Check the drive presence indicator LEDs on the front of the

enclosure. If the LEDs are not lit on one of the bays, remove
and reinsert the drive module.
