Installing Your Controller
Finishing up – All Models
To confirm that the modules are properly installed
1 Insert the RAID adapter into the system.
2 Start SMOR.
3 Select the controller to display the amount of cache memory
reported. The amount of cache reported is always 16 MB less
than what you actually installed.
Installing the Controller
To install the controller in the system cabinet
1 Connect the computer’s disk activity LED cable to the
appropriate connector on the controller. See Appendix A for
the location of this connector for your controller model.
Ensure that the positive lead of the LED cable (usually a red
wire or a wire marked with a red stripe) is attached to pin 1
or 3 and the negative lead (usually a black wire) is attached to
pin 2 or 4.
2 Connect any internal drive cables now.
3 Install the controller in an available 32- or 64-bit PCI bus slot
and secure the controller bracket to the host system cabinet
with the screw provided with the system.
In a system with multiple controllers, the controller that has
the lowest BIOS ROM address (typically, the lowest numbered
PCI slot) will become the booting controller. If you require the
RAID controller to become the booting controller, you may
need to move another controller in your system to
accommodate this requirement.
4 SCSI only—Connect any external cables to the controller.
Note: If you have disk drives attached to a SCSI controller
with a Symbios chipset, use SMOR to set the Bootable
Devices option to Disable.
