Configuring Your System 3-23
Add-on Controller
If you are adding the RAID controller to an existing system, the
AcceleRAID™ 250 BIOS Configuration Utility allows you to configure
disk arrays and logical drives in your system. Since the utility resides in
the AcceleRAID™ 250 BIOS on the RAID controller, its operation is
independent of the operating system in your server. Refer to Chapter 4
in this User’s Guide for information on installing an add-in option
board. Refer to Chapter 4 of the AcceleRAID™ 250 Installation Guide for
information on running the AcceleRAID™ 250 BIOS Configuration
Utility.
Note:
Next Boot Status for the first Symbios SYM53C875
controller must be turned OFF if you install the optional
Mylex AcceleRAID 250 Controller board in your system. Refer
to “Symbios Configuration Utility” found earlier in this
chapter.
DACCF Configuration Utility
The DACCF utility is included with the RAID controller. The
AcceleRAID™ 250 supports various versions of RAID technology
(referred to as RAID levels). To use any RAID level, you must configure
the RAID controller using the DACCF Configuration Utility prior to
installing your Network Operating System. For an explanation of this
utility, refer to the Disk Array Controller Configuration Utilities Manual
that was shipped with the controller. Chapter 2 ( Preparing the Array)
covers array hardware preparation, configuration, and initialization.
After completing the steps in Chapter 2, you can install your Network
Operating System.
