Consider moving this discussion to Clariion Support Forum ( by selecting Move from Actions).
CX2P-DAE is just a drive enclosure. You need additional hardware (Storage Processors, SPSs etc..) for accessing the disks. If you have an existing clariion system, you can add this enclosure to that and use the disks.
I believe you purchased this hardware alone, just as in Re: CX-2 DAE question

There are a number of discussions in this forum about using a laptop to connect to an array using the serial port on the back of the array. It's a two step process - the first step involves using a terminal emulator (9600 baud) - this step looks at the BIOS POST boot section. Once the POST part completes correctly, the array will then proceed to boot off the disks (the first five disks in the array are the Operating System disk - sometimes called the Vault drives). These five disks hold the boot image and are usually marked in some manner to indicate that these are the OS drives. If you don't have these, then the array will not boot. During the first step of the POST, you should see that BIOS is checking these disks - if you get an error at this stage, the OS is probably not installed or working.
Check around on the other threads - there's more information about this step.
