HARDWARE INSTALLATION

The following signal denes the sideband connector which can
work with Areca sideband cable.
The sideband header is located at backplane. For SGPIO to
work properly, please connect Areca 8-pin sideband cable to the
sideband header as shown above. See the table for pin denitions.
Step 7. Re-check the SATA HDD LED and Fault LED Cable
connections
Be sure that the proper failed drive channel information is displayed
by the Fault and HDD Activity LEDs. An improper connection will
tell the user to ‘‘Hot Swap’’ the wrong drive. This will remove the
wrong disk (one that is functioning properly) from the controller.
This can result in failure and loss of system data.
Step 8. Power up the System
Thoroughly check the installation, reinstall the computer cover, and
reconnect the power cord cables. Turn on the power switch at the
rear of the computer (if equipped) and then press the power button
at the front of the host computer.
Step 9. Congure volume set
The SATA RAID controller congures RAID functionality through the
McBIOS RAID manager. Please refer to Chapter 3, McBIOS RAID
manager, for the detail regarding conguration. The RAID controller
can also be congured through the McRAID storage manager soft-
ware utility with ArcHttp proxy server installed through on-board
Lan port or LCD module. For this option, please reference Chapter
6, Web Browser-Based Conguration or LCD conguration menu.
