Appendix D
Configuration Changes


Reason for Change


Changing the Configuration

Caution!

Do not attempt to change the SafeStor-FT II configuration while the unit is in operation.

In RAID, most configuration changes will result in the loss of stored data. Consult RAID Controller User Manual.

  • Note: Detailed instructions for performing many of the steps listed below are included in Chapter 4 - Component Installation.
    1. Determine the desired SCSI bus configuration. Remember the following guidelines:

    Figure D-1, 2 x 6: Group Switches & Slot Numbers

    1. Determine what changes to the existing configuration are required. If adding drives, make sure they will be added in consecutive ascending order (0 - 5), starting with slot 0. See Figure D - 1. (Example shown is a 2 x 6 SafeStor-FT II.)
    2. Verify that sufficient SCSI cables, I/O connectors, and backplane slots are available to achieve the desired configuration.
    3. Halt all group SCSI traffic. Remove front panel.
    4. Make sure Group power switch is off. Then add or remove drives are required.
    5. Apply power to the SafeStor-FT II group.
    6. Verify the new bus configuration. Update the configuration sheet on the rear of the front panel to reflect the intended configuration changes.
    7. Replace the front panel.
