StorageWorks RAID Array 200 Controller Installation and Standalone Configuration Utility
4–14 EK–SWRA2–IG. C01
NOTE
The order in which you turn-on and -off your system and storage
enclosures effects the operation of your RAID Array 200 Series
Subsystem. If the RAID controller can not access the drives in your
storage enclosures, it marks the drives as failed. Therefore to avoid the
controller trying to access the drives with the storage enclosure turned off,
power-on and off your system and storage enclosures in the following
order:
Power-on
1. Storage enclosures first
2. System second
Power-off
1. System first
2. Storage enclosures second
If you inadvertently power down the storage subsystem first, refer to
Chapter 8, Troubleshooting to determine how to reestablish proper
operation.
To continue the installation process, go to Chapter 6 to:
• Determine the version of firmware in your controller.
• Set controller parameters.
• Configure your array.
Refer to the Roadmap, Table 2–1, for an overview of the steps to install the EISA
or PCI controller for your RAID Array 200 Subsystem.
