3ware Sidecar Kit with the 9650SE-4LPME: Installation Guide
Step 4. Connect Power to the 3ware
Sidecar and your computer
1
Position your computer and the 3ware Sidecar so that the cables
are out of harms way.
2
Connect the appropriate power cables to both the 3ware Sidecar
and your computer.
3
Turn on the power to the 3ware Sidecar.
4
Turn on the power to your computer.
Step 5. Create Units Using 3ware BIOS
Manager (3BM)
If you want to install your operating system onto a RAID unit in
your 3ware Sidecar, you will need to create the RAID unit next,
using a utility called the 3ware BIOS Manager (3BM). Details
about doing this are provided in the
3ware Serial ATA RAID
Controller User Guide
, in the chapter “First-Time RAID
Configuration Using 3BM.” The user guide is available on the
3ware CD that came with your 3ware Sidecar Kit.
If your operating system is already installed on a different drive in
your system, you do not have to configure the RAID unit yet.
Instead, proceed to Step 7 and install the driver and other software,
Note:
If you need to remove the Multi-lane SATA Cable, pull out
gently on the blue tab to release the latch; then pull out the connector.
Note:
When you turn on power to the 3ware Sidecar before turning
on your computer, the drives attached to the 3ware RAID controller
will be recognized. If you turn on the computer first, you may need to
use 3DM to rescan the controller.
