3 CONFIGURATION
3.1 CONFIGURATION
PREREQUISITES
3.1.1 SATA
HOST
CONNECTIONS
This guide assumes that you have already attached the DAS200 to a host computer that has been
installed with the Sii3124 or Sii3132 HBA (Host Bridge Adapter) or another third party SATA HBA with
Port Multiplier (PM) support.
If you use a host controller that does not provide Port Multiplier support:
• The JBOD storage policy is unavailable when configuring the DAS200. Only one disk is available on the
host computer.
• Virtual volumes that you create in the Advanced Configuration Wizard must use at least 8 gigabytes (GB)
of available system capacity.
3.1.2 USB
HOST
CONNECTIONS
If you are connecting your DAS200 using a USB connection to your host, the USB port should be
compliant with USB 1.0, 2.0 or connected to a USB hub.
3.2 CHANGING HOST CONNECTIONS
The DAS200 supports both USB and eSATA host connections, although only one connection can be attached
at any given time. For the best data transfer performance, you should always use the eSATA host connection.
If it becomes necessary to change the host connection between eSATA and USB, the host computer system and the
DAS200 should both be powered down prior to making the host connection change to avoid any potential data loss
or corruption. After changing the host connection, all items can be powered-up to resume operation with
the new host connection.
3.3 DISCONNECTING
A
USB
DEVICE
USB 2.0 external devices provide support for “plug & play” connection, so that your USB storage device can be
connected and disconnected while the computer is running. To prevent data loss or other failures, you must
follow these steps when disconnecting your USB 2.0 storage device from your host computer system. Once the
physical USB device is disconnected, any volumes that are associated with that device will become unavailable.
On O/S (Opration Systems), the DAS200 must be stopped from O/S before any devices can be disconnected.
