Configuring the SATA RAID controller
The server is equipped with an onboard SATA RAID controller with "Integrated
Mirroring" (IME) functionality. You may configure the RAID either before
running ServerStart or with
ServerStart
. It is recommended to use ServerStart.
Configuring the SATA RAID controller is either performed via the BIOS configu-
ration utility (calling CTRL-F during BIOS POST) or with the ServerStart CD
using GAM (Global Array Management). More information is contained in the
controller documentation on the ServerBooks CD in section "controllers" (see
also
“Related Publications” on page 75
).

Note on
SATA-IDs

Please note that the SATA-IDs for the hot-plug hard disk drives are
permanently assigned (from left to right).

Descriptions of operating systems not covered in the RAID controller
manual are provided in the appropriate readme files on the driver
diskettes.
