From the General tab, set the value for Status > Admin to up (for enable) or down (for disable). Optionally, set other configuration parameters using the other tabs. Click Apply Changes. After enabling the interfaces, be sure to plug in the cables. If the cables are not plugged in, the hosts cannot communicate with the storage device.
