Upgrading Your System 4-33
Installing a Disk Array Controller
See "PCI Option Board" for the installation of a disk array controller.
IMPORTANT:
!
A riser card is designed for installing only low-profile PCI boards or full-
height PCI boards. Before installing a PCI board, make sure of the card
specification.
!
If a PCI board is installed in a slot lower than the one containing the disk
array controller, the LED connector on the disk array controller board cannot
be connected to the DAC LED connector on the system board. (The disk
access lamps on the front of the server will not indicate the status of access to
the hard disk drives connected with the disk array controller.)
!
If more than one AcceleRAID 160 or AcceleRAID 352 disk array controller
board is installed, the system disk to boot the system must be connected to the
disk array controller board installed in the slot having the highest boot
priority.
The boot priority of the disk array controller board is:
3C
→
2C
→
1C
→
3B
→
2B
→
1B
!
To switch the internal hard disk drives into a disk array configuration by
connecting a disk array controller to the full-height riser card, connect the
cable before installing the riser card on the system board.
!
When connecting a disk array controller, start the BIOS SETUP utility, select
[Boot]
→
[Hard Disk Drives], and set the 8th priority or earlier for the
controller. If the 9th priority or later is set, the system is unable to start the
disk array controller configuration menu.
