To back up the existing RAID configuration
It is important to back up the current configuration to a floppy disk before
you make any changes to the configuration of the RAID controller. This
enables you to recover the configuration of the RAID controller if any
mistakes are made while executing the procedure.
1 Shut down and restart the CallPilot server.
2 While the server is restarting, the RAID controller is detected, and a
prompt appears to “Press Alt-R for RAID Configuration Options.” Press
Alt-R to launch the RAID controller configuration program.
Result: The Mylex Raid EzAssist program starts. A Notice message may
appear before the RAID controller selection window appears.
Note: If you miss the “Press Alt-R” prompt, you can press Reset to
restart the server before the system finishes booting to Windows NT. If
you reach the Windows NT Operating System selection screen, you have
missed the “Press Alt-R” prompt.

AcceleRAID 352 controller.

configuration.
