Adaptec RAID Installation Guide
Using SMOR
You need to run SMOR in systems where you need to configure the
controller and set up disk arrays before the operating system has
been installed. Run SMOR as directed in the installation procedures
in this
Installation Guide
to:
■
Check the cache memory module after installing the controller
(refer to
Step 2 on page 2-7
).
■
Configure the controller as a boot controller after installing the
controller (refer to
Determining the Booting Controller
on
page 2-9
).
■
Create disk arrays during driver installation (see
Chapter 3
).
After your system is set up, you can use all of the advanced features
of Storage Manager Pro or Storage Manager to modify and improve
the RAID. Complete SMOR documentation is provided in the
Adaptec Storage Management Software User’s Guide
.

configuration tasks when you can’t start SMOR from the
SCSI RAID controller using

If any devices are missing from the display, exit SMOR and
check your hardware connections.

that all installed expansion and memory modules are
shown. Write down the IRQ and address displayed in the
Configuration tab—you may need this information later.
