Your SAS RAID subsystem can be configured by using the LCD
with keypad, a serial device (terminal emulation) or LAN port.
※Method 1: RS-232 Port Management
You can attach a serial (Character-Based) terminal or server com
port to the RAID subsystem for access to the text-based setup
menu via a VT-100 compatible terminal or a PC running a VT-100
terminal emulation program to configure RAID sets and volume
sets. The firmware-based terminal array management interface
can access the array through this RS-232 port.
The manufacture default password is set to 0000. To ensure
proper communications between the RAID controller and the
VT-100 Terminal Emulation, please configure the VT100 terminal
emulation settings to the values shown below:
For additional information on using the RS-232 port to configure
the RAID subsystem see the Chapter 5 of VT-100 Utility
Configuration.
Step 6: Configure RAID Volumes
※Method 2: LCD Panel with Keypad (Optional)
You can use LCD front panel and keypad function to simply
create the RAID volume. The LCD status panel also informs you
of the disk array’s current operating status at a glance. The LCD
provides a system of screens with areas for information, status
indication, or menus. The manufacture default password is set
to 0000. The initial screen is as following:

Using the included power cord, connect the power supply to a
suitable AC power source. There is one main power on/off switch
located on the rear side of the RAID subsystem. This on/off power
switch is used to apply or remove power from the power supply
to the RAID subsystem.
※Method 3: LAN Port Management
User can remote manage the ARC-8042 RAID subsystem without
adding any user specific software (platform independent) via
Type the User Name and Password. The RAID controller default
User Name is “admin” and the Password is “0000”. After entering
the user name and password, click the button to access the
McRAID storage manager.
