Configuration Overview
This chapter highlights the tools and the important limitations and guidelines which 
must be understood prior to configuring your array. 
This chapter covers the following topics: 
Subsequent chapters in this manual describe further procedures used to complete the 
installation and configuration of the arrays. The flexible architecture of the SANnet II 
200 FC, SATA, and SATA SE arrays makes many configurations possible.
5.1
Summary of Array Configuration
SANnet II 200 FC, SATA, and SATA SE arrays are preconfigured with a single RAID 
0 logical drive mapped to LUN 0, and no spare drives. This is not a usable 
configuration, but it enables in-band connections with management software. You must 
delete this logical drive and create new logical drives.
All configuration procedures can be performed by using the COM port. You can also 
perform all procedures except the assignment of an IP address through an Ethernet port 
connection to a management console.
The following steps describe the typical sequence of steps for completing a first-time 
configuration of the array.
1. Mount the array on a rack, cabinet, desk, or table.
2. Set up the serial port connection.
