integrated Serial ATA controller and the integrated SCSI controller. Be sure to use
these programs as described in this document. Use these programs to:
v Configure a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) array
v
View or change your RAID configuration and associated devices
Consider the following information when using the Adaptec RAID Configuration
Utility programs and SCSISelect Utility program to configure and manage arrays:
v
The integrated SCSI controller with integrated SCSI RAID (SCSI models) and the
integrated Serial ATA controller (SATA models) with integrated SATA RAID
supports RAID levels 0 and 1 with the option of having a hot-spare drive.
Installing an optional ServeRAID controller provides additional RAID levels.
v You cannot use the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD to configure the
integrated Serial ATA controller with integrated RAID and the integrated SCSI
controller with integrated RAID.
v
Hard disk drive capacities affect how you create arrays. Drives in an array can
have different capacities, but the RAID controller treats them as if they all have
the capacity of the smallest hard disk drive.
v
To help ensure signal quality, do not mix drives with different speeds and data
rates.
v To update the firmware and BIOS code for an optional ServeRAID controller, you
must use the IBM ServeRAID Support CD that comes with the ServeRAID
option.
v
If you install a different type of RAID controller in your computer, use the
configuration method described in the instructions that come with that RAID
controller to view or change SCSI settings for attached devices.
Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs (for
Serial ATA RAID)
Use the Array Configuration Utility within the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility
programs to add RAID levels 0 and 1 functionality to the integrated Serial ATA
(SATA) controller. This utility is a part of the BIOS code in your computer. For
additional information about using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs,
see the documentation on the IBM ServeRAID-7e (Adaptec HostRAID) Support CD.
If this CD did not come with your computer, you can download the IBM
ServeRAID-7e (Adaptec HostRAID) Support CD from the IBM Web site at:
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.
The integrated Serial ATA RAID feature (SATA HostRAID) comes disabled by
default. You must enable the SATA RAID feature and install the device drivers
before you can use it. The SATA RAID feature configuration utilities, device drivers,
and information are available on the IBM ServeRAID-7e (Adaptec HostRAID)
Support CD.
Enabling the Serial ATA HostRAID feature: Complete the following steps to
enable the SATA RAID feature:
1. Turn on the computer and watch the monitor screen.
2. When the message
Press F1 for Configuration/Setup
appears, press F1. If
you have set a supervisor password, you are prompted to type the password.
3. Select Devices and I/O Ports .
4. Scroll down and select SATA RAID Enable .
5. Select Enabled .
6. Press Esc; then, select Yes to save your changes.
