Mounting controller box
The ACS-7630 controller 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 controller box in system
The ACS-7630 controller box fits into the space of two half-height 5¼-inch drive bays.
1. Remove the cover and front bezel from the
system case.
2. Feed a power cable  through the
opening.
3. Feed a 40-pin IDE cable  through the
opening.
4. Connect the two cables to the connectors
on the rear of the controller 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 controller box.
6. Insert the controller 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
controller box.)
Installing controller box externally
The ACS-7630 may also be set up outside a computer case and connected to a system via
the ACS-2720 IDE to IEEE 1394 converter board. The ACS-2720 (supplied separately) has
two ports allowing simultaneous access to the RAID by two hosts.
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 controller box.
