on both Adaptec controllers. The disk drive on SCSI ID 4 has a 48-second spin-up delay.
The boot drive is connected to the on-board 7880 SCSI controller, so no changes to the
existing SCSI IDs are required to install the IR-8e.
StudioZ Pro and StudioZ T-RAX
Installing the Driver for an Additional Adaptec Controller
Both StudioZ Pro and StudioZ T-RAX include one Adaptec 2940UW controller each. If you
want to add the IR-8e disk array (JBOD FDSK590) option to your workstation, purchase an
additional Adaptec 2940UW controller and install it in slot 1 or slot 2. After you install this
second controller, load the driver that is shipped with it (2940SCSIDRV).
To install the new driver:
1. From the Windows NT Start menu, go to Control Panel/SCSI Adapters.
2. Click the Drivers tab and verify that the AIC_78XX PCI SCSI adapter is highlighted.
3. Click
Remove.
4. Click Add to create a list of drivers and display the Install Driver dialog box.
5. On the Install Driver dialog box, click Have Disk.
6. Insert the driver installation diskette into your floppy drive and click OK on the Install
From Disk dialog box. The driver is installed and started.
7. Click OK to dismiss the SCSI Adapters dialog box.
NOTE
Once you have installed the additional Adaptec controller, loaded the new driver, and
connected the IR-8e to your workstation, you must set the SCSI IDs of the drives. The steps
for enabling Ultraspeed SCSI are the same for StudioZ T-RAX and StudioZ Pro as those for
StudioZ for SOFTIMAGE|DS. See “Configuring the Adaptec BIOS Settings” earlier in this
chapter for these instructions.
Setting Up a Stripe Set
You have the option of configuring the disks on your StudioZ T-RAX or StudioZ Pro
workstation as one stripe set (this is not a required configuration as it is with StudioZ for
SOFTIMAGE|DS). The alternative is to configure multiple stripe sets (we recommend no
more than two stripe sets). The standard setup, which is performed at the factory prior to
shipment, is described below. You only need to follow these instructions if you have to
rebuild your workstation.
NOTE
If you purchased the dual-channel IR-8e JBOD (FDSK590), you can set up the internal drives
on your workstation and the drives in the IR-8e as a single stripe set, or stripe the internal
