Enabling CD Drive Support
Note:
ICP SCSI RAID controllers do not support CD drives in
Linux systems.
If you attached a CD drive to the controller, you need to configure
the controller BIOS as follows to make the CD drive work:
1
While the system is starting, press
Ctrl-A
when the controller
displays its message on the screen.
2
Select
SCSI
Select
Utility
, then select
Controller Configuration
.
3
Using the arrow keys, enable
CD-ROM Boot Support
and
Removable Media Devices Support
.
4
Press
Esc
until the Reboot window appears.
5
Restart the computer.
Mixing SE Devices with LVD Devices
If you are mixing SE devices with LVD devices:
■
Ensure proper termination by using a cable with a built-in
multimode terminator and appropriate device adapters.
Observe the cable length limitations for SE (3 meter maximum
bus length using up to 4 devices, 1.5 meter maximum bus
length using up to 8 devices).
■
Disable device termination on all SE devices.
■
Put LVD and SE devices on separate channels for best
performance.
Note:
If SE and LVD devices (like Ultra320) are used
together on the same channel, the performance of the LVD
devices is reduced to SE performance levels.
