Hardware Setup

1. Install an Infiniband host bus adapter (HBA) into an empty

expansion slot inside your computer (optional). The following general

steps will work for most cards. Instructions for individual cards may vary, so

consult your host card’s user manual.

a) Power down the computer system.

b) Insert the card into a compatible expansion slot. Do not force it, but it

will take firm pressure to fully seat the interface. It may help to

gently rock the card back and forth as you apply pressure.

c) Once the card is fully seated in the slot, secure it in place with a screw.

d) Turn the computer back on.

e) Install the appropriate drivers for the card. These files are usually found on a CD accompanying

the card, or on the manufacturer’s website.

2. Install your hard drive by pulling on the ejection handle and opening the door. Then just slide

in your SATA drive and shut the door behind it. For extra security for your hard drive you can lock the

bay, but make sure to unlock it before pulling on the ejection handle again.

3. Plug in the InfiniBand cable and power cord. The RTX400-NJ connects to your computer

through InfiniBand. One end of the cable connects to the back of the unit. Insert the other end into an

Infiniband port on the computer. Cables that convert InfiniBand to four eSATA connectors can also be

found.

Your RTX400-NJ is now ready to use! Turn on the power switch on the back of the unit. If your drives

are already formatted, you can begin using them right away. New hard drives will need to be formatted

before they can be used. Initially, each drive is seen as a separate drive by the computer. If you wish,

you may format each drive into a separate volume and use them individually. If you have software for

creating a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks), you may combine the drives into a single

volume for faster performance and/or data redundancy. Some operating systems, such as OS X, have

this software built in.

Usage with Macintosh computers

Mounting and Ejecting Volumes

When you connect the unit to the Mac for the first time and turn on the power,

you’ll probably see a message saying that the disk is unreadable. This is

because you must format the volume before using it. The easiest way to do

this is to use Mac OS X’s Disk Utility. If you plan to use the unit on both Macs

and PCs, select “MS DOS File System” as the format type. If you only plan to

use the unit on Macs, then select “Mac OS Extended”. After the volume is

formatted, an icon representing the drive volume will appear (“mount”) on the

desktop. You can now use the volume just like an internal hard drive.

Eject the volume before powering down the unit by dragging the volume’s icon

to the trash bin, or by selecting the volume then pressing Command-E. Shutting down the unit without

first ejecting the volume can result in data loss.

Booting to the RTX400-NJ

Your ability to boot to the RTX400-NJ depends upon whether or not the eSATA host to which it is

connected supports this feature. Many eSATA hosts do not support booting

Usage with Windows computers

Formatting Volumes

Before you can use your RTX400-NJ, you must first format the drives into a volume. Use Disk

Management, which you can find by right-clicking on My Computer then selecting Manage. Select NTFS

for the format type. If you wish to format FAT-32 for cross-platform compatibility, you will need to use a

third-party utility to do so. Windows XP will not create FAT-32 volumes larger than 32GB.

After the volume is formatted, an icon representing the drive volume will appear in My Computer. You

can now use the volume just like an internal hard drive.

Ejecting Volumes

Unlike external storage devices that connect via FireWire or USB, eSATA devices cannot usually be

ejected. It is possible to disable the device using Device Manager. Whether or not you choose to disable

the device in this way, always make sure the drives are not being accessed before shutting off

theRTX400-NJ. If the unit is turned off in the middle of a data input/output process, data loss may result.

Warnings and Notices

•The RTX400-NJ supports drives of various specifications and different capacities. However, we

recommend using drives of the same brand and type for optimal performance. If drives of different

capacities are used, the unit will consider both drives to have the same capacity as the smaller

drive.

•Use only hard drives that are in perfect condition. Avoid using drives that have ever developed

bad sectors during previous usage. This could lead to possible device failure or loss of data.
