To power on and configure the system:
1. Power on the InterRAID-8e cabinet and wait for the audible beep. After the power-on
self-test completes, the Drive Status and Channel Mode LEDs remain green.
NOTE
The Power Status LED remains amber and the LCD screen displays Non-Redundant Power
when only one power supply is present, or if more than four drives are used with two power
supplies.
2. Power on the system base unit and the monitor.
3. Configure the MegaRAID controllers installed in the system. The System Setup
contains basic information to configure the disk array appropriate for the system. See
Chapter 5, “Using the MegaRAID BIOS Configuration Utility” in this document for
details about specific procedures.
CAUTION
After you configure the RAID disk drives, it is important that you backup the configuration to a
diskette. The diskette will be helpful in the event the configuration should become lost. See
the “Saving and Restoring a Configuration” section in Chapter 5.”
4. Use Disk Administrator in Windows NT to partition and format the disk space not used
by the operating system. When prompted to create a Signature File, select Yes. See the
Windows NT Server System Guide for information on using Disk Administrator.
