HP Array Configuration Utility User Guide (416146-001, January 2006)

Getting started 10
The main ACU configuration screen appears.
GUI operating modes
The GUI format of ACU has three configuration modes:
• Standard mode ("Typical Standard mode screen" on page 10) enables you to manually configure all
options on the controller.
• Configuration Wizards mode ("Typical Configuration Wizards mode screen" on page 11) guides
you through each step of a manual configuration process.
• Express Configuration mode ("Typical Express Configuration mode screen" on page 12)
automatically sets up the controller configuration based on your answers to a few simple questions.
Standard mode is the default setting. If you are unfamiliar with ACU, change to Configuration Wizards
mode (or to Express Configuration mode, if it is available for that particular array). You can access these
alternative modes by clicking the appropriate link in the lower right-hand corner of the main ACU
configuration screen.
Typical Standard mode screen
This is the default configuration mode for ACU. All the configuration options for a selected item in the
Configuration View panel appear in a frame on the right side of the screen.
