Controller Start-up

Manual No. 775064

3-5

The controller can be configured using GAM. GAM can also be used from 
the server or a system client to monitor status and verify data integrity of 
disks connected to the controller while the system and disks are running.

For details on how to install and run GAM client, refer to the Global Array 
Manager Client Software Installation Guide and User Manual.

If problems are encountered during start-up, check the following:

• Check SCSI cabling for loose connections, pin mismatches (make sure 

pin 1 on the cable matches pin 1 on the connector), bent pins, and 
damaged or crossed cables.

• Check cable length; this includes internal bus lengths in enclosures.

• Check termination.

• Check SCSI IDs on all drives.
