AEM-8 Installation

Installing the Arraid AEM-8 is a simple task, requiring no special tools and a basic knowledge of

computer technology. The existing HP data/control cable plugs directly into a rear connector on the

AEM-8 enclosure. No host-system software changes are required. Data is copied from the original

drives to the AEM-8, using HP copy utilities.

The installation of an AEM-8 should take about one hour. The time required to initialize the AEM-8

and load the operating system and the application software, is similar to installing a new HP or

Bering disk drive.

Prior to installing the AEM-8, the end-user should make a backup of the host system, using normal

backup utilities and practices.

The end-user should retain the original Arraid shipping container and packing material, in case the

AEM-8 needs to be returned to Arraid for warranty or repair work.

The AEM-8 cannot accept any of the original HP media, whether cartridge tape, removable platter,

or removable disk pack. Transfer of information from the existing HP or Bering devices to the

AEM-8 will require a disk-to-disk copy or a restore from reel-to-reel tape. Customers with single

disk configurations and no other backup device should familiarize themselves with operating system

procedures for adding a new disk drive.

The Arraid AEM-8 is manufactured in a 19" rack mount chassis for easy installation into a standard

RETMA electronics cabinet. Additional bracket support inside the RETMA cabinet may be

required, depending on the strength of the existing brackets, and there being proper support for the

data/control cables.

Installation Procedure: (1.) Verify that the AEM-8 power supply unit (PSU) is set to the proper

line voltage for the operating environment. (2.) Securely mount the chassis. (3.) Connect AC

power. (4.) Connect the data/control cable. (5.) Turn on the rear power switch. (6.) Turn on the

front power switch. (7.) Observe successful completion of the internal self-test on startup.

Installation Notes: (1.) The AEM-8 comes with a standard USA power cord. The end-user is

responsible for providing any alternate power cord or AC adapter necessary to make the AEM-8

compatible with the local power source. (2.) The data/control cable from the host HP computer

must have adequate support at the rear of the AEM-8. An improperly supported data/control cable

can result in intermittent data integrity issues.

AEM-8 Control Panel

The figure on the next page depicts the layout of the Arraid AEM-8 control panel. The control panel

consists of a 2-line LCD text display, four LEDs, and four pushbuttons. The control panel is used to

display system information and configuration/operation menus. To access the control panel menus,

press the UP/INCREMENT or DOWN/DECREMENT buttons. This scrolls through the menu

options. To select an option, press the ENTER button. To cancel a selection, press the

BACK/CANCEL button.

The four LED lights on the AEM-8 control panel were never fully implemented for the AEM-8.

These lights were added to support options/functions that are currently not used by the AEM-8.

These lights indicate disk I/O activity, but beyond that, they provide no important information to the

end-user.
