AEM-8 Control Panel (continued)

Select Volume - The control panel Select Volume menu allows the user to set the active volume of

the primary drive. The AEM-8 ships from Arraid with volume 0 of the primary drive set as the

active volume.

Unload Media – The Unload Media selection has no real function now that we are using solid-state

internal peripherals. A CF module can only be removed by pushing the manual eject button to the

immediate right of the CF module slot. Please caution that a CF module should not be ejected or

installed while the AEM-8 is in an operational (read/write) mode.

System Info - The System Info menu provides information on the AEM-8's firmware revision level

and FPGA checksum. The firmware for the AEM-8 is locked and will not be changed or updated.

Normal Operation

After power is turned on, the control panel momentarily displays the text:

HPIB Emulation

Arraid LLC

...while it goes through power on self-test. It then displays:

####

V:0

Arraid LLC

...where #### is the HP model number of the drive being emulated, and V:0 is the selected volume

number. This text message is displayed when the control panel is not in use for advanced

operations. This indicates that the Arraid AEM-8 is functioning properly, is on-line, and ready for

host access.

The HP model number initially displayed is the one assigned at the factory and should match the

model specified in your order.

Initialization

- The AEM-8 is installed and powered on, the proper drive type selected, the HP-IB

address is set, and Volume 0 of the primary drive selected. Now you can load data onto the drive.

The AEM-8 does not require HP low level formatting. So, the first step is to ensure that the host

operating system sees that the drive is present and then can perform an operating system format.

The process is the same as when you install a new HP or Bering drive. Transferring data requires

operating system utilities to perform a disk-to-disk copy, or a restore from tape.

During normal operation, while the operating system and application software are accessing the

AEM-8, the activity light will be lit. Any time that stored information is changed, the red activity

light on the appropriate drive bay will also be lit. Once the copy or restore process is finished,

installation is complete, and the AEM is ready for use.
