Introduction
Drive Enclosures – SCSI only
Adaptec SCSI controllers support drive enclosures that include
SAF-TE enclosure management hardware per the SAF-TE
specification.
Hotspares
Adaptec RAID controllers support hotspares, drives that are
reserved to replace a failing drive in a redundant array. In the event
of drive failure, hotspares replace failed drives and arrays are
automatically rebuilt.
The Adaptec RAID controllers support two types of hotspares:
I
I
Global—Protects every array that the drive has enough
available capacity to protect.
Dedicated—Protects only the array that it has been assigned to
protect.
Audible Alarm
Adaptec RAID controllers are equipped with an audible alarm that
can alert you to situations that affect data safety. This section
discusses the following topics:
I
Sounding the Alarm
Silencing the Alarm
I
For additional details on how to control the alarm, see page A-11
and the Adaptec Storage Manager online Help.
Sounding the Alarm
The alarm sounds under the following circumstances:
I
I
I
When the controller is running, the alarm sounds when a drive
fails. For example, if a drive becomes unplugged, the alarm
sounds.
When restarting the system, the alarm sounds if an array is
degraded. For example, if a drive is missing from a three-drive
RAID 5, the alarms sounds.
If an array can’t be configured, the alarm sounds. For example,
if a drive is missing from a RAID 0, or if two drives are missing
from a RAID-5, the alarm sounds.

Safety Information
To ensure your personal safety, as well as the safety of you equipment:
I
Keep your work area and the computer clean and clear of debris.
Before opening the system cabinet, unplug the power cord.
I
Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is a natural by-product of human
activity. ESD is produced by materials that accumulate and retain
electrical charges which are transferred to people or other objects
upon contact.
Caution: ESD can damage electronic components when they
!
are improperly handled and can result in total or intermittent
failures. Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when
removing and replacing components.
To prevent ESD damage:
I
Use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes skin
contact. Connect the equipment end of the strap to an
unpainted metal surface on the chassis. If a wrist strap is not
available, ground yourself by touching the metal chassis before
handling the controller or any other part of the computer.
I
Avoid touching the controller against your clothing. The wrist
strap protects components from ESD voltages present on the
body only. ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
I
I
I
Handle your controller by its bracket or edges only. Avoid
touching the printed circuit board or the connectors.
When you need to put your controller down, use an antistatic
surface such as the bag supplied in your kit.
If you plan to return the controller to Adaptec, put it back in its
antistatic bag immediately.

Installing the Controller and Drives
SATA Drives and Cables
To install an Adaptec SATA RAID controller and drives, you need
equal numbers of each of the following:
I
Serial ATA hard drives
I
Serial ATA cables (supplied in this kit)
Configuration of Serial ATA drives is simple for the following reasons:
I
There are no jumpers or switches to set on SATA controllers or
hard drives.
I
The cable connectors are identical, so you don’t need to worry
about which end to attach to the controller and which end to the
drive.
I
All connectors are keyed so that you can insert them in only one
direction.
SCSI Drives and Cables
Adaptec recommends using only the latest Ultra320 hard drives in
arrays and only high-quality Ultra320-rated cables with multimode
terminators for all drives that share a channel with Ultra320 drives.
Notes:
I
For additional considerations related to installing SCSI
drives, see Appendix F, About SCSI.
I
Use only good quality cables. Poor quality cables may
degrade system reliability. Avoid cables not rated for
Ultra320 operation.
I
I
I
Use device adapters as needed to connect any SE drives.
Do not attach a cable to the controller unless the other end
of the cable is attached to a least one drive. Doing so
would cause unstable operation.

Adaptec Storage Manager provides an expandable tree view of the
systems and controllers you are managing. You can perform most
configuration and management tasks by selecting a controller from
the tree and working with related objects. The figure below shows
how Adaptec Storage Manager displays information about Physical
and Logical devices
.
Using the buttons in the Physical devices and Logical devices
views, you can:

Physical Devices View
This view displays information about the drives, enclosures, and
other physical devices attached to the controller. The devices are
organized numerically. The display for each channel or port
includes information on maximum speed, the number of the
channels on the controller, and the number of devices attached to
the controller.
Indicators, next to the controller name, report status of the fan and
temperature modules on SAF-TE (enclosure management) devices and
other devices that monitor these conditions. The indicator colors are:

the BIOS is disabled, it does not occupy any of the expansion
ROM region of the system’s memory map. In a system with
several expansion ROMs, disabling the BIOS may be helpful.
I
The controller always uses the lowest numbered array as its
bootable array. If you delete Array 00, the next lowest
numbered array becomes the bootable array.

ACU for DOS
Running the ACU Using Scripts
To use the ACU scripting features, use the ACUcommand, specify a
script file (see Creating the Script File Manually on page B-5), and
specify one (but not both) of the required switches listed in the table
below. You may also add one or both of the optional switches listed
in the table.
Note: Command line syntax is not case sensitive.
Switch
Type
Description
/P <file>
Required Playback Mode—In this mode, the ACU reads
the contents of the specified script file and creates
arrays and configures channel settings based on
the keywords defined in the script. For more
details, see Playback Mode on page B-4.
Note: The ACU exits with an error if you do not
include either the /Por the /Rswitch (but not both).
/R <file>
Required Record Mode—The ACU writes a controller’s
existing array configuration to a specified script
file, enabling you to create the same configuration
by running the ACU in playback mode (/p
switch) with the resulting script. For more details,
see Record Mode on page B-4.
Note: The ACU exits with an error if you do not
include either the /Por the /Rswitch (but not both).
/L <file>
Optional Optional Log Filename Switch—If you include
this switch, the ACU records its activity and any
errors it encounters in the log file. If you do not
include this switch, the ACU displays any status
and errors on the screen.
The fileis a standard MS-DOS file, which can
include a drive, directory, filename, and extension.
Only the filename and extension (.LOG) are
required. If no drive or directory is specified, the
file is placed in the location of the ACU executable.
/C <number> Optional Optional Controller Number Switch—In
systems with more than one controller, this switch
specifies which controller to change, where
<number>is the controller number. The default
controller number is 0.
Note: The number assigned to a particular controller
depends on the controller’s physical PCI slot and the
order in which your system scans its PCI slots.

ACU for DOS
Playback Mode
In this mode, the ACU reads the contents of the specified script file
and creates arrays based on the keywords specified in the script.
The syntax is ACU/P <file>where fileis the parameter
specifying name of the script file. The fileparameter can include
a drive, directory, filename, and extension. If no drive or directory
Note: The script file syntax allows only a single hotspare to be
assigned to any given array. Therefore, when recording a
RAID 10, the ACU cannot map hotspares assigned to the
individual mirror sets in the resulting script file. Instead, the
ACU creates a single HotspareDriveslist for all hotspares
on page B-9.
Record Mode
There are two methods available for creating a script file:
I
Use Record Mode.
I
Create the script manually. (See page B-5.)
Regardless of which method you use to create the script, you need
to use Playback Mode (/P) to use the script.
In Record Mode, the ACU writes a controller’s existing array
configuration to a specified script file, enabling you to create the
same configuration by running the ACU in Playback Mode (/P
switch) with the resulting script.
The syntax is ACU/R <file>where fileis the parameter
specifying name of the script file. The fileparameter can include
a drive, directory, filename, and extension, but only the filename
and extension are required. If no drive or directory is specified, the
file is placed in the location of the ACU executable.

ACU for DOS
Notes:
I
Record Mode can be used to record only one controller at a
time. Therefore, if you want to record multiple controllers,
record them separately using separate script files.
I
Because the ACU supports only a subset of array types
available, it cannot record all the possible array
configurations. If the ACU encounters an array that it
cannot create, it displays a warning (or records the
warning in the log file, if the /Lswitch is used) and does
not record any keywords for that array in its script file.
I
Waitsetting (equivalent to Wait=Yes) unless you edit the
block. For details, see the Wait Keyword on page B-11
Creating the Script File Manually
Script files contain the following structures, or blocks:
I
Array Definition Block Keywords
I
Channel Definition Block Keywords – SCSI only (optional)
The rules for syntax are as follows:
I
Each keyword must start its own line.
I
The syntax is not case sensitive.
Comments
To enter a comment in the script file, start with a pound character (
#).
You can start anywhere on a line. For a sample script that includes
comments, see Example – Running the ACU with a Script on page B-14.

ACU for DOS
The keywords are described in detail in the sections that follow.
Array Keyword
Arrayis a required keyword, indicating the start of an array
definition block. The syntax is Array=<label>, where labelis
an optional alphanumeric string.
Examples
Array
Array=MyData
Drives Keyword
Drivesis a required keyword, specifying the devices to use in
creating the array. There is no default value.
A drive is identified by its channel number, ID (target), and LUN,
separated by colons; for example, 0:0:0or 0:1:0. Separate
multiple drive identifiers with commas.
Prior to creating any new arrays, the ACU initializes any drives
specified by the Driveskeyword. If a drive is specified in more
than one array definition block in a script, it is initialized only once.
Caution: Any drive specified within the script file is initialized,
which destroys any data on that drive.
!
Examples
Drives=0:0:0
Drives=0:0:0,0:1:0,0:2:0
End Keyword
Endis a required keyword, indicating the end of the block.
Example
End

ACU for DOS
HotspareDrives Keyword
HotspareDrivesis an optional keyword, specifying the hotspares
to assign to the array. The syntax for listing hotspares is the same as
the Drives Keyword on page B-7. If HotspareDrivesis not specified,
no hotspares are assigned to the array.
Notes:
I
I
I
HotspareDrivescreates only dedicated hotspares. If the
same drive is assigned to protect multiple arrays, only the
last array that drive is assigned to is protected.
HotspareDrivesdoes not verify that the available space
on the specified hotspares is sufficient to serve as failover
for the array.
When assigning hotspares to a multilevel array,
HotspareDrivesassigns all the hotspares in the list to all
arrays within the multilevel array.
Example
HotspareDrives=0:0:0,0:1:0
InitializeAll Keyword
If you want the ACU to initialize all drives connected to the
controller and delete any existing arrays before any new arrays are
created, even those that are not specified in any Driveskeyword
definition, specify InitializeAll=yes. Otherwise, the ACU
initializes only those drives specified by the Driveskeyword.
Caution: Initializing a drive automatically deletes any existing
arrays with that drive as their member.

Notes:
I
I
I
InitializeAllis a global keyword that you need to
specify only once.
InitializeAllis always performed prior to array
creation regardless of its position in the script.
If both InitializeAll=Yesand InitializeAll=Noare
specified in the same script file, InitializeAll=Yesis
always the overriding value.
I
If an array is deleted during a build/verify process, the
process is automatically terminated.
Possible values are as follows:
I
Yes—Initialize all drives.
I
No (the default)—Do not initialize all drives; only those drives
specified with the Driveskeyword are initialized.
Examples
Type=Volume
Type=RAID1
Method Keyword
Methodis an optional keyword, indicating which method to use
when creating a redundant (RAID 1, 5, and 10) array. Possible
values are:
I
I
I
Build (the default)—Perform a build/verify process on the array.
Takes longer than Clear, but allows you to begin using the array
immediately.
Clear—Clear the array. Faster than a build/verify process, but
you have to wait for the operation to be completed before you
can begin using the array.
Quick Init—Makes the array available immediately, but does not
accomplish a build/verify. Parity and mirror information is created
as data is written to the drive (called full-stripe write mode), which
reduces overall array performance. Maximum performance is
achieved by starting and completing a build/verify.

ReadCache Keyword
ReadCacheindicates whether the array uses read caching.
Possible values are:
I
Yes (the default)—Enable read caching.
No—Disable read caching.
I
Example
ReadCache=Yes
Size Keyword
The Sizekeyword specifies the size of the array. Specify Maximum
(the default) to create an array using the maximum available space,
based on the array type and drives selected. Otherwise, specify the
size as an integer or a decimal number, followed by the unit
keyword MB (megabytes), GB (gigabytes), or TB (terabytes).
Note: A unit keyword is required with a numeric size value. If
no unit keyword is specified, the ACU exits with an error.
Examples
Size=2.5GB
Size=300MB
Size=Maximum
StripeSize Keyword
Note: This keyword does not support RAID 50 arrays because
RAID 50 arrays support only a stripe size of 64 KB.
The StripeSizekeyword specifies the stripe size (in MB) written
to each member of a striped (RAID 0, RAID 5, RAID 10) array.
The possible values for StripeSizeare 16 KB, 32 KB, and 64 KB
(the default).
Example
StripeSize=64

Typeis a required keyword, indicating the array type. There is no
default value. The Typekeyword values are:
I Volume
I RAID0
I RAID1
I RAID5
I RAID10
I RAID50
Note: For information about which array types your controller
supports, see Controller Features on page 1-5.
Wait Keyword
Waitis an optional keyword that you can use to tell the ACU to
allow the ACU to continue while the build/verify or clear
completes in the background; specify wait=no. Otherwise, the
ACU waits by default.
Note: If the host is powered off before the build/verify or clear
process completes and is then restarted, the process resumes
without any user intervention.
Examples
Wait=Yes
Wait=No
WriteCache Keyword
The WriteCachekeyword indicates whether write caching is used
for this array if write caching is supported for the system. Possible
values are as follows:
I
Yes (the default)—Enable the write cache.
No—Disable the write cache.

Channel Keyword
Channelis an optional keyword that begins a channel definition
block and specifies the channel number to which the channel
keywords apply. Channels are numbered from zero to the
maximum number of channels on the controller minus one.
You can include multiple channel definition blocks within a script file,
each beginning with a Channelkeyword and value. For example:
Example
Channel=0
ControllerID Keyword
ConrollerIDis an optional keyword to change the SCSI ID of the
controller. Normally, the SCSI controller is assigned SCSI ID 7 on
each of its channels. You can specify any ID value between 0 and 7.
Caution: Do not change the SCSI ID of the controller unless
directed to do so by Adaptec Technical Support.

Command Summary
Introduction
The Adaptec Flash Utility (AFU) is a DOS utility used to update,
save, or verify RAID controller firmware BIOS, and NVRAM.
Caution: The AFU is easy to use and contains safeguards to
!
prevent you from accidentally damaging the controller’s flash
contents. Still, you must be careful to use the AFU correctly,
otherwise, you could render the controller inoperable.
Note: If you are updating multiple controllers in the same
system, update the boot controller’s flash first, restart the
computer, and then update the flash for any remaining
controllers.

Adaptec Flash Utility (AFU)
The AFU is used to:
I
Update—Updates all the flash components on a controller with
the flash image data from a User Flash Image (UFI) file.
The AFU updates the controller’s flash by reading UFI files and
writing them to the controller’s flash components.
Note: The UFI includes the controller’s type, thereby
ensuring that the AFU uses the correct file.
I
Save—Reads the contents of a controller’s flash components and
saves the data to a UFI file. This allows you to later restore a
controller’s flash to its previous contents should the need arise.
I
I
I
Verify—Reads the contents of a controller’s flash components
and compares it to the contents of the specified UFI file.
Version—Displays version information about a controller’s
flash components.
List—Lists all supported controllers detected in your system.
System Requirements
The requirements for AFU are as follows:
I
MS–DOS version 5.0 or later. It cannot run from a DOS
command prompt window under any version of Windows.
I
At least 8 MB of extended memory.
Note: You cannot create the bootable floppy using Windows 2000.
Compatibility
The AFU has the following compatibility issues:
I
Supports HIMEM.SYS; compatible with other DOS drivers
running under HIMEM.SYS(for example, SMARTDRV.SYSand
SETVER.SYS).
I
Does not support DOS extenders installed in memory, such as
EMM386.SYSand DOS4GW.

Introduction
The Command Line Interface (CLI) allows you to configure and
manage controller components. The CLI contains most of the
functionality offered by Adaptec Storage Manager, plus some
additional functionality not offered by Adaptec Storage Manager.
CLI commands allow you to automate testing or array creation in a
production environment using Windows command scripts and
Linux and Unix shell scripts.
This appendix describes briefly some of the commands available in
the CLI. For a full description of all the CLI commands, refer to the
Command Line Interface Reference Guide.

Command Line Interface
Displaying Information about Your Array
After creating an array, use the containerlistcommand to
display information about the array. In the following example, the
Num Labelcolumn indicates the array ID 0 and the array label
Venus. The Typecolumn indicates a volume set. The Total Size
column indicates that the array is 100 MB.

Venus
Creating a Volume Set
To create a volume set, use the containercreatevolumecommand.
In the following example, Volume 0 is created on device 0:01:0
from 100 MB (megabytes) of available space. The array’s cache is
enabled, and the label is Venus
.
AAC0> container create volume /cache=TRUE /label=Venus ((0,01,0), 100M)
Executing: container create volume /cache=TRUE /
label=Venus ((CHANNEL=0,ID=1,LUN=0),104,857,600)
container 0 created
Creating a RAID 0
When creating a RAID 0, you need to determine the stripe size that
is most suitable for your environment. The stripe_sizeattribute
indicates the number of bytes in a stripe, the amount of data
written to a partition before the I/O data stream switches to the
next partition in the array.
The stripe size can be 16, 32, or 64 KB; the default is 64 KB. Note
that you can change the stripe size later using the container
reconfigurecommand.
To create a RAID 0, use the containercreatestripecommand. In
the following example, the Array
from 100 MB of available space. The array’s cache is enabled, and
the label is Mars
0
is created on device 0:01:0
.
AAC0> container create stripe /cache=TRUE /label=Mars ((0,01,0), 100M)
Executing: container create stripe /cache=TRUE
/label="Mars" ((CHANNEL=0,ID=1,LUN=0),104,857,600 )
container 0 created

Command Line Interface
Creating a RAID 1
To create a RAID 1, use the containercreatenew_mirror
command. In the following example, a RAID 1 is created on
devices 0:02:0and 0:03:0using 100 MB of available space from
each device.
AAC0> container create new_mirror ((0,2,0), 100M) (0,3,0)
Executing: container create new_mirror ((CHANNEL=0,ID=2,LUN=0),104,857,600 )
(CHANNEL=0,ID=3,LUN=0)
Creating a RAID 5
When you create a RAID 5, you use a form of redundancy called
parity. When you set up parity, the parity stripes are initialized, by
default, using a scrub switch (/scrub=TRUE). Parity is set up in the
background, and the disks are available immediately.
Linux/UNIX only: The /scrubswitch is not available in Linux.
For Linux, the RAID 5 is always created by building.
The stripe size can be 16, 32, or 64 KB; the default is 64 KB. Note
that you can change the stripe size later using the container
reconfigurecommand.
To create a RAID 5, use the containercreateraid5command. In
the following example, a RAID 5 is created on devices 0:01:0
,
0:02:0, and 0:03:0using 100 MB of available space from each
device:
AAC0> container create raid5 /stripe_size=64K ((0,1,0), 100M) (0,2,0) (0,3,0)
Executing: container create raid5 /stripe_size=65,536
((CHANNEL=0,ID=1,LUN=0),104,857,600) (CHANNEL=0,ID=2,LUN=0)
(CHANNEL=0,ID=3,LUN=0)
Deleting an Array
To delete an array, use the containerdeletecommand. In the
following example, Array 0 is deleted.
AAC0> container delete 0
Executing: container delete 0
After running the containerdeletecommand, use the container
listcommand to verify that the array was deleted. In the
following example, no arrays are found on the controller.
AAC0> container list
Executing: container list
No containers found.

Command Line Interface
Managing Failover Options and Hotspares
To assign one or more hotspares to a single array, use the container
setfailovercommand. To assign one or more spare disks for all
arrays, use the containersetglobal_failovercommand. These
commands allow you to add hotspares to an array prior to a drive
failure so that the array contains the resources it needs to survive a
failure.
Alternatively, you can use the automatic failover commands that
allow you to remove a failed drive and add a hotspare in its place.
The controller automatically assigns the new hotspare to replace
the failed drive without your having to first assign it using the
containerset failoveror containersetglobal_failover
commands.
Note: Automatic failover works only with disks that reside in
an SAF-TE- or SES-enabled enclosure.
Caution: During hotspare assignment, all data is deleted from
the hotspare.
!
The following failover topics are discussed:
I
Displaying the Controller’s Automatic Failover Status
Enabling Automatic Failover
I
Displaying the Controller’s Automatic Failover Status
To display a controller’s automatic failover status, use the
controllershow automatic_failovercommand. In the following
example, automatic failover is DISABLED
:
AAC0> controller show automatic_failover
Executing: controller show automatic_failover
Automatic failover DISABLED

To enable automatic failover, use the controllerset
automatic_failovercommand with the /failoverswitch, as in
the following example:
AAC0> controller set automatic_failover
/failover_enabled=TRUE
Executing: controller set automatic_failover
/failover_enabled=TRUE
After running the controllersetautomatic_failovercommand,
use the controllershowautomatic_failovercommand to verify
replace a failed disk with a replacement disk.

About RAID
A RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) provides better
performance and reliability from combinations of drives than is
possible with the same total storage space without RAID.
This Appendix describes the various RAID levels supported by
Adaptec RAID controllers.

supported for your controller according to RAID level.

Note: Select RAID drives of equal capacity and performance.
Otherwise, the RAID tends to be limited in capacity and
performance to that of the smallest and slowest drive.
Simple Volume
A simple volume consists of a single drive.

About RAID
Spanned Volume
A spanned volume is created by joining, or concatenating, two or
more drives. The drives do not have to be of equal capacity and are
connected end-to-end. A spanned volume offers no redundancy
and no performance advantage over a single drive.
RAID 0
A RAID 0 is created by striping data across two or more drives.
This striping scheme creates no redundancy to protect the data.
However, because the drives share load equally, RAID 0 provides
the best read and write performance of any RAID type.
An example of a RAID 0 array is shown below.

RAID 1
A RAID 1 array is created by copying, or mirroring, all data from
one drive onto a second drive. This mirroring provides redundancy,
ensuring that if one drive fails no data is lost. Redundancy also
means that only half of the total capacity is available.
RAID 1 offers no write performance advantage over a simple
volume configuration. However, because the drives share read load
equally, RAID 1 provides improved read performance. An example
of a RAID 1 array is shown above.

About RAID
RAID 5
This RAID type requires at least three drives. Like RAID 0, data is
striped across the drives. However, in RAID 5, parity is stored
separately from data, and occupies the equivalent of one drive. The
controller generates parity every time data is written to the array,
and it is distributed in stripes across all the drives.
In the event of a drive failure, the contents of the failed drive can be
rebuilt from the data and parity on the remaining drives.

Using parity minimizes the storage cost of redundancy. Because
only one drive is used to store parity, a three-drive array, which is
the worst case, uses only one-third of the total capacity for
redundancy. In larger arrays, the storage cost of redundancy
decreases proportionately
RAID 5 write performance is limited by the need to generate parity
data for every write. Read performance is good because the load is
spread equally across all the drives.

About RAID
RAID 10
This dual-level RAID type is created by using two or more equal-
sized RAID 1 arrays to create a RAID 0. Both read and write
performance are improved due to array striping. However, the
performance improvement costs additional storage space due to
the mirroring of the arrays.

About RAID
RAID 50
This dual-level RAID type is created by using two or more equal-
sized RAID 5 arrays to create a RAID 0. The top level RAID 0
shares the load among the second-level RAID 5s, improving both
read and write performance. Parity, used in the second level
RAID 5s, provides efficient redundancy.

About SCSI
SCSI Device Support
The SCSI RAID controller is designed to work with Ultra320 SCSI
hard drives. In addition, the controller operates at reduced
performance with all Ultra2 or higher SCSI drives and peripherals,
as described in the table below.
Operating Systems
All
Devices Supported
Ultra2 and faster SCSI drives
All except Linux
Tape, CD-ROM, CD-RW, and magneto-optical
drives and jukeboxes.
than Ultra2 with this controller.
Caution: HVD devices are not supported and will damage
your controller.
!
See Mixing SE Devices with LVD Devices on page F-3 for more
details.
Setting SCSI IDs
For each controller channel, the SCSI IDs of the devices must be
unique numbers between 0 and 15. The controller, itself a SCSI
device, is usually set to ID 7 by default. SE drives usually support
IDs between 0 and 6.
SCSI enclosures that use SCSI drives with 80-pin SCA connectors
typically assign the drive ID automatically when the drive is
inserted. You don’t need to set device IDs with such enclosures
unless your enclosure requires it. For details, refer to the enclosure
User’s Guide.
The RAID controller ID can be changed to any ID from 0 through 7
using the ARC utility
.
Note: Do not change the controller ID unless the change is
absolutely necessary.

About SCSI
Changing SCSI Termination on the Controller
The default termination for the controller is Auto Mode and you will
probably never need to change this setting. However, if you do
need to change the termination, you can use the SCSISelect
Controller SCSI Channel Termination option to change the setting
to Disabled. For details, see page A-13.
All these SCSI controllers support multimode SCSI termination.
Enabling CD Drive Support
Note: Adaptec 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 to make the CD drive work, as follows:
1
While the system is starting, press Ctrl-A when the controller
displays its message on the screen.
2
3
Select SCSISelect Utility, then select Controller Configuration.
Using the arrow keys, enable CD-ROM Boot Support and
Removable Media Devices Support.
4
5
Press Esc until the Reboot window appears.
Restart the computer.
Mixing SE Devices with LVD Devices
If you are mixing SE devices with LVD devices:
I
Ensure proper termination by using a cable (like the one in the
kit) with a built-in multimode terminator and appropriate
device adapters.
I
I
Disable device termination on all SE devices.
Put LVD and SE devices on separate channels for best
performance.
Note: If SE and Ultra320 devices are used together on the
same channel, the performance of the Ultra320 devices is
reduced to SE performance levels.
