Setting the RAID controller card BIOS options
Newer Mylex RAID cards (with version 3.5x firmware or better) have an
option that must be set before configuring them. Complete the following
steps to properly configure your RAID card.
1 Start up the server.
Result: When you power on the system, you see the DAC960 messages
being output to the display.
2 When you see the message
Press Alt-M for BIOS options
, press
the Alt and M keys simultaneously.
Result: You are presented with a DAC960 BIOS options menu.
3 Use the arrow keys to move to the option titled “2 GB Drive Geometry,”
and then press Enter.
Result: The system prompts you to use 8 Gbyte drive geometry.
4 You are asked to confirm the change. Confirm, and then press Esc to
escape this menu.
Result: Your system can now fully utilize hard drives up to 8 Gbytes in
size.
Note: With earlier revisions of the RAID card (v2.6x and lower) , this drive
geometry option is not available, and as such, free disk space may show up
at the end of the first (primary) disk in the Windows NT Disk
Administrator . This is normal and can be ignored.
To configure RAID system packs
1 Insert the CallPilot 2.0 OS Recovery or OS Upgrade CD into the CD-
ROM drive and then power up the computer.
Note: In order for this procedure to work the computer BIOS must have
booting from CD-ROM enabled. You may need to enter the BIOS setup
to enable booting from CD-ROM.
Result: The system boots and the "MS-DOS 6.2 Start Menu" is
displayed.
