Mounting RAID box
The ACS-75170 RAID box can be installed inside a computer case or set up externally. This
section describes both procedures.
Turn off and disconnect all electrical power from the system before beginning
installation.
Mounting RAID box in system
The ACS-75170 RAID box fits into the space of the half-height 5¼-inch drive bay.
1. Remove the cover and front bezel from
the system case.
2. Feed a power cable  through the
opening.
3. Feed an SATA cable  through the
opening.
4. Connect the two cables to the connectors
on the rear of the RAID box.
5. If planning to use the ACSView GUI to
monitor the status of your RAID, you
should also connect a 3-pin RS-232 cable
to the terminal on the RAID box.
6. Insert the RAID box into the bay, and
secure it in place with the screws provided.
(If your case uses guide rails to install
5¼-inch devices, you can use them on the
RAID box.)
In order to provide stable power, we recommend to connect both power connectors on the RAID box.
