DuraStor 6220SS/7220SS Installation and User’s Guide
tools are provided in separate user’s guides provided on the
DuraStor CD. See Storage Management Software Tools on page 1-2.
This Guide assumes that you are familiar with basic computer
hardware and network administration terminology and tasks, and
that, if you are using your DuraStor product as part of an external
storage subsystem, you have a working knowledge of Redundant
Array of Independent Disks (RAID) technology.
Installation Overview
The installation instructions can be followed to set up the complete
storage subsystem (DuraStor 6220SS/7220SS) or to install just one
of the two components (DuraStor RAID appliance or
DuraStor 312R).
If you are installing either the DuraStor RAID appliance or the
DuraStor 312R but not both, use the Table of Contents to help you
move directly to the information you are seeking.
Storage Management Software Tools
If you are building an external RAID storage subsystem, you can
create and manage it using three different software tools:
■Adaptec Storage ManagerTM Pro. See page 1-2.
■Adaptec Disk Array Administrator. See page 1-3.
■Operator Control Panel (OCP) of the DuraStor RAID appliance.
See page 1-3.
Adaptec Storage Manager Pro
We recommend using the Storage Manager Pro software
application. It is included on the DuraStor CD as part of the
DuraStor Storage Subsystem and runs on both Windows NT®and
Windows®2000. Use it to create and reconfigure arrays, manage
spares, monitor the status of your storage devices, and more.
Storage Manager Pro allows you to perform all these functions for
all systems on your network that are running Storage Manager Pro
and gives you the power to manage all your storage devices from a
single location.

Introduction
The Adaptec Storage Manager Pro User’s Guide is provided with the
DuraStor RAID appliance and DuraStor 6220SS/7220SS, and is
also available on the DuraStor CD. See Installing Storage Manager
Pro on page 3-55 for details.
Adaptec Disk Array Administrator
If you are using an operating system other than Windows NT®or
Windows®2000, you need to use Disk Array Administrator to
manage your storage subsystem.
Disk Array Administrator is firmware built into the
DuraStor 6200S/7200S RAID controller BIOS, and can be accessed
using the RS-232 serial port connection on the rear panel of the
DuraStor RAID appliance. See Accessing Disk Array Administrator
on page 3-56 for detailed instructions.
You can find the Adaptec Disk Array Administrator User’s Guide on
the DuraStor CD.
The Operator Control Panel
If you don’t have a computer monitor available and cannot use one
of the user-friendly applications, the alternative is the Operator
Control Panel (OCP) located on the front bezel of the DuraStor
RAID appliance. It can be used to perform most of the functions
required to monitor your storage devices and create and manage
arrays and spares.
You can find the DuraStor RAID Appliance Operator Control Panel
User’s Guide on the DuraStor CD.
For more information, see Appendix B, The Operator Control Panel of
the DuraStor RAID Appliance.

Additionally, two 68-pin very-high-density SCSI connectors
connect to the disk channels of the DuraStor 312R storage
enclosure. From left to right:
■Disk CH 2
■Disk CH 1
The connector labeled Host In (CH 3) can also be used as a disk
channel under some configurations. See Appendix A, Port
Information for connector pin-out detail.
Two RS-232 serial ports each connect a controller to a VT-100
terminal, and are used when you want to access Disk Array
Administrator management software. Serial A port is for
Controller 1; Serial B port is for Controller 2.
Note: Host 1 In (CH 3), Host 2 In (CH 0), Disk CH 2, and
Disk CH 1 ports require external termination when they
are unused in any dual-controller (active-active or active-
passive) configuration. The single-controller (stand-alone)
configuration requires no external terminators.
Host 1 Out and Host 2 Out have automatic internal
termination when they are unused.
The switch in the lower right corner of the panel sets the
keyboard/keypad input control to either INT (internal, via the
OCP) or EXT (external, via the VT-100 keyboard or a computer
running Hyper Terminal). Setting the switch to EXT disables the
OCP buttons.
Note: The front bezel LEDs will work whether the OCP is
being used or not. Setting this switch to EXT will not disable
the front bezel LEDs.
