Unpacking & Checking The Equipment
Before unpacking the RAID SYSTEM, prepare a clean, stable surface to put on the contents of your RAID
SYSTEM shipping container. Altogether, you should find the following items in the package:
SCSI to ATA RAID System
z RAID System x1
z RAID system Hardware Installation Guide ( CD media )
z RAID system Software Operation Manual ( CD media )
z Ultra320 SCSI Cable x1
z RS232 cable x1
z Ultra320 SCSI Active Terminator x1
z Power Cord x 2
z FAN x 1
z HDD tray x 1
z Mounting screws (bag) ×1
Fibre to ATA RAID system
z RAID System x1
z RAID system Hardware Installation Guide (CD media )
z RAID system Software Operation Manual (CD media )
z RS232 cable x1
z Power Cord x 2
z FAN x 1
z HDD tray x 1
z Mounting screws (bag) ×1
To avoid the unmatched cable between the Fibre HBA in the Host and
Fibre-SATA RAID SYSTEM, Fibre-SATA RAID system doesn’t include the
Fibre interface with the standard configuration. There are many different
kinds of Fibre connectors on varied of Fibre HBAs.
Hardware Operation Manual
8
What else you need
z Hard disk drives (different RAID levels requires different numbers of HDDs). Refer to
Software Operation manual for more detail information.
z Host computer with SCSI interface (SCSI-SATAII RAID SYSTEM)
z Host computer with Fibre interface (Fibre-SATAII RAID SYSTEM)
z Static grounding strap or electrostatic discharge (ESD) safe work area
z Dedicated terminal or PC with third party communication software that supports ANSI
terminal emulation (required for viewing Monitor Utility)
The hard drives in a RAID system should match in size and speed. All drives in
any array should be identical models with the same firmware versions. RAID
system can use any size drive, however the smallest drive will determine the
size of the array.
There's no set formula to determine how much cache memory to use, but as a
general rule, a workstation, with mostly very large files, such as for audio or
video editing and playback, graphics or CAD files, can benefit from a large
cache. File servers, with multiple random access of varying fil e size, generally
have little or no performance improvement with additional cache.
RAID system do not require the installation of different drivers for use with
different operating systems. RAID system is independent and transparent to
the host operating system.

When selecting a location for your system, be sure to allow an adequ ate space. The system has vents
around it which will require a minimum of 3 inch es of unobstructed space for airflow. Openings in the
equipment should be blocked, or there may be an issue of reliability problems with your system. A system
product should never be place around a radiator or heat register.

same button and called EzSecurLock . No need a
key but with security .
How to remove Cartridges?
1: Push the button inward
2: While holding in the button, then slide
down
3: The HDD door will be opened
automatically.
Install HDDs.
1) Put HDD into the Cartridge.
2) Align 4 screws holes on both HDD &
Cartridge.
3) Fasten all 4 screws to mount HDD in the
cartridge and make sure the HDD is properly
tightened.
Install Cartridges
Reversed the procedures of “Remove cartridges”
to install cartridges back to RAID system .

Read the pre-installation notices earlier in this chapter before proceeding with
installation.
RAID SYSTEM is normally supplied with 256MB DDR SDRAM installed.
There's no set formula to determine how much cache memory to use, but as a
general rule, a workstation, with mostly very large files, such as for audio or
video editing and playback, graphics or CAD files, can benefit from a large
cache. File servers, with multiple random access of varying fil e size, generally
have little or no performance improvement with additional cache.
Memory serves as the data buffer to increase the CPU utilization rate and minimize the overhead of data
accessing , thus, improves the overall performance. YI-08SA/12SA/16SA supports up to 2GB DDR
SDRAM at 333Mhz with or without ECC & register type memories .
The DDR memory socket is used 184-pin DIMM socket . Use 90 degree of memory slot type
DDR SDRAM DIMM specifications:
Minimum Recommended
DDR333 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM module
(DDR-333).
DDR SDRAM DIMM, with or without
ECC &Register type
With ECC, for security
Minimum of one DDR DIMM with 256
MB. The memory card socket can
support , 256M, 512 MB ,1GB or 2GBof
memory.
Minimum of 256 MB. More mem ory
(up to 2GB) equals better
performance: the size of the memory
module defines the cache writing
space available to the RAID
SYSTEM.
Hardware Operation Manual
22
Installing memory module
To install a DDR SDRAM ensure the system is power off and disconnected. Then:
1: Removing the controller module from Raid system.
2: Open the cover of controller module .
3.Insert a memory module into the memory socket .
4.Close the cover of controller module .
Before starting any kind of hardware installation, please ensure that all power
switches have been turned off and all power cords disconnected to prevent
personal injury and damage to the hardware
Use screws provided with RAID system only. Longer or shorter screws may
cause electric shorting or un-proper installed.
Static electricity can damage electronic components. To guard against such
damage:
Work in a static-free environment
Wear a grounded anti-static wrist strap
Store uninstalled components in anti-static bags
Handle PCBs by their edges and avoid touching chips and connectors.

Problems setting up
Newly installed memory fails during Self-Test or is not detected.
Possible Cause: The Memory DDR DIMM module may not be properly seated or may not be
supported by RAID SYSTEM.
Fix: Re-sit the memory module in the socket and retry. If it continues to fail try moving it to the other
memory socket. Make sure the correct memory type is being installed. RAID SYSTEM supports
184-pin DDR DIMM SDRAM.
Unable to access RAID SYSTEM after the operating system boots up.
Possible Cause: RAID SYSTEM is not configured.
Fix: Make sure RAID SYSTEM is configured for a RAID level. If no RAID level is configured the
operating system will not detect RAID SYSTEM as a disk drive.
I try to set up an array using Quick Setup but fail. Why?
Possible Cause: If the error message Array1 Exists! appears, an array has already been configured.
Quick Setup can only be used to new RAID arrays.
Fix: Reconfigure the array from the RAID params submenu
Problems during operation
The front panel LCD displays alternating “Zz” characters.
Possible Cause: These characters are displayed when the cache is fu ll with write request data that
have not been processed. Requests from the host are halted to flu sh the data in the cache.
Fix: None needed.
The front panel LCD displays alternating “Ww” characters.
Possible Cause: These characters are displayed to indicate that write requests in the cache are bei n g
processed. When these characters are displayed, RAID SYSTEM will ha lt requests from the host (see
above).
Fix: Make sure the Write Buffer option of the RAID Params menu is enabled. In addition, more cache
memory may be required. By increasing the cache memory, the write buffer space increases and will
be able to handle the higher write requests.
Hardware Operation Manual
28
LCD display shows OWOOO S
Possible Cause: “W” means “warning” - there are many bad sectors on your HDD.
Fix: Change hard drives.
Invalid NVRAM message appears
Possible Cause: NVRAM error or malfunction.
Fix: Save settings and restart the controller. If the problem persists, contact your vendor.
Data loss for Windows 2000 during system shutdown
Possible Cause: RAID controller is in a process of a built-in host and some data is still in cache buffer
during system shutdown.
Fix 1: Set Cache Off
Fix 2: To shutdown, select Restart system and wait for 30 seconds, then power off the system.
Fix 3: Shutdown host OS after shutting down controller.
Remote terminal problems
Unable to access Configuration Mode using the remote terminal interface.
Possible Cause 1: The terminal communication settings do not match the settings of the RAID
SYSTEM RS-232 interface.
Fix: The default sett ings for the RS- 232 port are 115,200 B aud rate, 8 Data bit s, 1 Sto p bit, No Parit y,
and XON/XOFF Flow control. Make sure the terminal is configured for these settings. If the settings
were changed in Configuration Mode, verify the settings of the RAID SYSTEM in the RS-232 Params,
Terminal option and change the terminal settings accordingly.
Possible Cause 2: Incompatible RS232 cable.
Fix: Cross pins on the RS-232 cable as shown below (or use a null modem cable). The only pins used
are 2 3 & 5.

Alert message problems
I am unable to send a Page or FAX using the modem port.
Possible Cause 1: The Page and Fax options are not enabled.
Fix: Go to the Configuration Mode and enable Page and FAX notificatio n via the System Params
menu option.
Possible Cause 2: The default modem initialization string is not compatible with your modem.
Fix: Change the modem initialization string in the System Params option. Refer to your modem
manual for its initialization string.
The following modem models require their own initialization strings.

SCSI problems
RAID SYSTEM is not properly identified by the SCSI adapter during initialization of the
computer system.
Possible Cause: The SCSI ID set for t he RAID SYSTEM is being used by an other SCSI device attached
to the same SCSI card.
Fix: Select the Set SCSI ID option from the SCSI Params menu and specify a different SCS I ID. Most
SCSI host adapters provide an onboard ROM BIOS, or software utility, that displays the devices
attached and their SCSI IDs. Disconn ect RAID S YST EM fro m the S CSI host ad ap ter ca rd an d du ring
the system boot, or by running the utility, note the SCSI IDs already in use.
The RAID SYSTEM is identified as all SCSI IDs.
Possible Cause: The SCSI ID set for RAID SYSTEM is identical to the reserved SCSI ID used by the
SCSI card in your system.
Fix: Select the Set SCSI ID option from the SCSI Params menu and specify a different SCSI ID. Most
SCSI host adapter cards reserve SCSI ID 7 for the card ID.
The SCSI host adapter card does not detect RAID SYSTEM.
Possible Cause: Incorrect t ermination in a daisy chain conf iguration or a loose cable in a stand-alone
configuration.
Fix: In a daisy chain configuration, verify that only the SCSI host adapter and the last SCSI device is
terminated. To change termination settings of RAID SYSTEM, use the SCSI Params menu SCSI
Termination option to enable or disable termination.
